February Fun

This is one birthday wish that won't be coming true . . . but it makes for a cute picture!

 Fitzgerald Marine Reserve Tide Pools -- Half Moon Bay for Presidents Day

Then over to Pillar Point Beach

 Beyond that bluff and rock wall is where they held the Maverick Surfing competition the weekend before.  Nicole climbed a big hill to get this shot. :-)

Brett found a large lady bug.  I asked him what he was going to name it he said "Harry . . . or maybe Biscuit"

Then off to a fun bakery for a treat.  That spoon is made of white chocolate!

 Boys went with friends to a beach in Santa Cruz

Isaac leaves for his three night fifth grade field trip

January

              It's almost been a year since I posted any pictures on here.  Sorry Mom and Dad!  Here are a few from this month.  Pictures aren't great since we don't have a camera AT ALL anymore!!!  Phone pics will have to do. 

                                                   Multi-family New Years party. 

Amber is Brett's little sidekick.  She sure loves her big brother.

Isaac and Curt ran a 5k New Years Day

We gave Isaac a model rocket for his birthday and he hadn't been able to use it left because we would have to buy an almost $300 permit.  Curt found a rocket launching club LUNAR that gets together once a month and anyone can come pay $10 to launch their rocket as much as they want.  One and a half hours of driving out to the middle of nowhere seemed better than the $300.  Curt also told us all his stories of launching rockets with Grandpa Bushnell.

Nicole keeping Amber warm

Isaac prepping his rocket.  He named his rocket Riptide.

Brett got to push the launch button one of the times Isaac launched.

 Ryan our paleontologist--found some prehistoric cow bones.

There were some serious rocket dudes there.

There was plenty of space to explore when they weren't launching or watching rockets launch.

Puzzle Princess

Isaac's band concert. 

His biggest fan.  Heidi always wants to go to his band concerts.

 Buddies

Finding worms in the rain

Highlight of the month for Heidi--attending a classmates birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese.  This was her first time there and she reminds me everyday how awesome it was.

Teaching Brett's preschool
