I am very excited to show a picture of Aubrey's new haircut! I have been wanting it cut for over a year now but Robert wanted to keep it long. Robert took Caleb to get his haircut this morning and Aubrey wanted to tag along (the hair dresser passes out suckers at the end). I was very surprised to see her new haircut and how beautiful her hair was.


We had a fun-filled weekend. Robert and I made last minute arrangements to go skiing in Big Bear. We have never skied together and it has been about ten years since either of us had skied at all. Our Aunt Meme graciously watched our kids. We left the house at 4am to beat the traffic, which I was very thankful for. Robert put chains on the tires for the first time and he did a great job. We were up there by 6am and just hung out and had breakfast waiting for the slopes to open. It was just breathtaking. They had gotten over four feet of snow in the past week. For those of you who haven't been to Big Bear, there is an amazing view of the forests and a beautiful lake from the top of the mountain. The skiing was unbelievable! I have never seen so much powder. Robert and I both felt like it was just yesterday we skied although our bodies said something totally different. We had only been on the slopes for two hours and my legs were exhausted. I found myself taking five of six breaks on the way down. What a great workout! It's a little different from the hills I am used to skiing back home in Michigan.

Since Robert and I managed to play in the snow on Saturday we decided to take the kids up to the snow on Sunday. They have been asking us for a month to take them to the mountains again. This time we went up to Mount Baldy. It is a smaller mountain then Big Bear but it is only 45 minutes from home. We meet Rob and Leah at the foot of the mountain and drove in one car. We had a lot of fun. Caleb loved the hills. He kept wanting to go on bigger and faster runs. Aubrey was very content sledding on a hill that was only two feet high.
Kylie went sledding a few times but was mostly interested in eating the snow!

This afternoon we were headed to the theater to watch a kids movie with Amy and Meme. We drove about twenty minutes to Irvine to the dollar theaters. Well, I guess everyone else had the same idea. There were two kids movies and they were both sold out. We were a bit bummed but improvised and rented The American Girl movie and had a pizza party on the floor. The kids had a blast. Kylie thought she was so cool sitting on the floor with the older kids. Amy suggested we take a picture of the adults joining in on the party so she was the photographer. We had fun. I think Robert was more into the movie than anyone!!!!

All in all, we had a wonderful weekend. We are just so blessed!!
