Happy Mother's Month!

We had an early Mother's Day celebration at Shel-Shel's house. It was a gorgeous day. The kids swam and played, and the mommies visited and ate. The best part? No men...just ladies and babies.

Easter

This year's Easter was nice and mellow. We had our traditional very early morning holiday breakfast at Shane's parents house. We came home and did Easter baskets, and had an egg hunt. It would have been Cash's first egg hunt that he actually participated in, but he was exhausted, cranky, and ready for his nap. There was nothing I could do to hold Kamden back so the egg hunt went on without him. Oh well, there's always next year.


Later that day we went to Aunt Toni and Uncle Mike's house in Ventura. It was lovely(except for the earthquake),and the food was fabulous! (no pics of Kamden & Breann as they had to go back to their mom's house before we left for Ventura.)

Santa

"Grammer & Poppa Oso" joined us for our Santa visit. We went to Bass Pro Shops (along with every other family in the Inland Empire). Cash wasn't terribly impressed by his first Santa visit, but at least he didn't cry. (PS-Kamden dressed himself that day).

He loved it! He watched it at least 50 times.

Thanksgiving

This year's Thanksgiving was extra special. We went to Michelle's like we do just about every year. This year our long lost cousins, Josh & Bekah, were there to celebrate with us. It was the first time our whole family has been together in a long time. It was good to see them!

Christmas

Our Christmas was wonderful. Cash enjoyed his first (lucrative) Christmas. He got a red wagon, a train, a slide, and several books. He enjoyed being the center of attention for 15 or so fascinated adults.

We spent Christmas Eve at my Aunt's house in Pioneer Town. Kamden calls it "That Cowboy Town." He is obsessed with looking for gold every time we go there. The kids played Beatles Rockband, and our whole family joined in for several rounds of "Yellow Submarine." We threw Cash in his brand new li'l red wagon (thanks, Grandma Dona!) and pulled him into town and to visit neighbors.

Christmas day was frenzied but fun. The kids woke up to a ridiculous amount of presents. After devouring them, Cash & Kamden boarded the li'l red wagon to walk down to Shane's parents house. We had a quick dinner and caravaned down to San Bernardino to visit Shane's 95 year old grandmother in her assisted living home.
