Seth is Five

Soccer!

Audrey has been asking to play soccer for a while, but the last go round I was too late to sign up.  So we finally got in and she's having a great time.  Davis loves it too.  Seth is also going, but he "hates it" is "NOT excited" and "never wants to do it again."  To his credit he is doing everything they ask him, and appearing to have fun, but is insisting he is not.  I told him if he still doesn't like it at the end of the class (8 weeks) I wont sign him up again.  At least he's trying!

Snow part 2

What I didn't mention previously is that our friends also brought Pinky up for us in their car.  Pinky LOVED the snow.  I didn't really think she would, but she just got down in there and nosed through it and had a great time.

Snow part 1

We had the good fortune to go stay with our friends Phil and Christa in their family cabin in Big Bear.  While there was not a lot of snow left on the ground, there was still the fabulous Big Bear Snow Play, which I highly recommend.  You'll see the moving sidewalk below that allows hours of sledding with no physical strain!

This sign cracked me up.

Riding the ponies

Last October the five of us went to Irvine Park Railroad for their pumpkin patch.  We didn't have time to stay and ride the ponies.  Since then Audrey asks to go ride the ponies on a regular basis.  Well we finally got back down there, and here she is on her pony.

Grandkids

Since my brother and his kids were in town, we decided to take a picture of all six of my parent's grandkids.  I called all the kids and started taking pictures as they arrived:
