Biking Down Highway 52

The big happening here in East County is the opening of the last section of the 52 highway. It is something that has been rumored since Chris and I were kids and it is finally finished. It's funny that something that probably seems so meaningless to the rest of the world, was such an excitement for the 20,000 people that showed up throughout the morning to walk/jog/run/bike on the highway. As for our family, we had been planning on attending the festivities for months. We got bikes, child bike seats and helmets all for the event. Of course we have been using them for other occasions too, but this was definitely our motivation. We had a blast riding down the center of the highway. It was definitely an day we will never forget- The Day We Played on the Highway.

                       

                                                                

Birthdays to Celebrate!

Chris and Camryn recently celebrated their birthdays. Chris is now the BIG 30 and Cami has officially entered the terrible 2s. We had a lot of fun with family and friends these past few weeks.

Since we were still a little caked-out from the wedding, Chris opted for a non-traditional, yet equally delicious dessert for his birthday. Everyone got to make there own banana splits and I don't think anyone missed the cake.

Chris got some fun gifts including a huge jar of jelly bellies which we all have been enjoying tremendously. 

And now for Cami's turn. 

We did find some energy and motivation to make her a cake. Cami is very into fairies and putting on wings and a tutu during dress up play. For her birthday her nursery teacher gave her wings and a fairy wand. You should have seen that girl "flying" through the hallways after church.

Cami also got some fun gifts, lots of cute clothes from both grandmas and her Aunt Barbara and Uncle Tyler. We also pooled some of our funds together and got her a little kitchen from Target. She loves it and it was definitely a hit with all her friends.

She even had a visit from a friendly neighbor wanting pie.

Happy Birthday Chris and Camryn. We love you!

Snow in SD!

It snowed as close as Alpine in San Diego this last weekend, so we took a Sunday drive and had a fun time playing the cold wet stuff. It was the first time the kids had seen real snow that didn't come from a snow machine. They were loving it.
