my little fire starter

Luke LOVES the wood burning stove.
(and thankfully, he has never gotten hurt by it!)
He likes to get the fire wood with daddy and will drop everything to see inside of it when Loren checks on it.

Santa Cruz

Just a few shots of beautiful Santa Cruz in January.
It has been the most amazing winter so far...
I think it is trying to make up for being such a lousy summer last year!

We took a trip to the Santa Cruz boardwalk

It is open 12-5 on weekend in the winter...but not many rides are going.

It just so happens that Marini's candy is open on the boardwalk.

so I was able to get 2 strips of my favorite chocolate covered bacon!!
(don't knock it till you try it!)
And the boys had their first salt water taffy!
And, surprisingly, Jack didn't like it - too chewy.

This is my favorite ride at the boardwalk...but the boys are still not tall enough to ride it!

WW: baseball and bey blade b'day

a
We had a beautiful day on Sunday.

Warm weather for playing ball and eating outside!

My Knabb side came over to celebrate Jack's 6th b'day.

So we had a great game of baseball going, bey blade playing and soup!

Angry bird shirt that Jack can not wait to wear!


Showing Uncle Jake and Diana his bey blade moves...
Apparently, the beys go better when you stick your arms behind you!

Happy 6th Birthday Jack!

I can not believe that my first born is 6 today!
Where did the time go!
He is such a smart, funny, conscientious,
little guy. Tonight we are celebrating by going out to a Chinese restaurant Uncle Bill and Auntie Kate and this weekend we are having more family over for a b'day lunch in his honor and then in February the kids party at SC gymnastics...it is like the birthday that lasts for a month!
He is well loved!

Light sabors...all the rage


You know, I have never been a big star wars fan.
Sure, the first movie was good, but I think I pretended to like them to impress the boys.


And well, boys are the ones that love it.
Jack knows EVERYTHING about star wars...and he has never even seen it!


And they ask incessant questions about star wars in which I do not have any answers!
Luke is too afraid to watch the movie which is fine with me.


Anyway, since Christmas, we have a lot of light sabors and they are a lot of fun!
(and so far, no one has been injured by a light sabor which I find amazing)!
