The climb before the climb...

Two weeks ago Eric and Julie summited San Jacinto from the tram in snow shoes with 3 feet of snow...9 miles or something crazy like that...5 1/2 hours.  Yikes!!!  I admire that they did it, I know I couldn't!!!




Julie ended up sliding down this on her bootie, apparently very steep, more so than it seems on pictures. 
Eric's training before he climbs the North face of San Jacinto in March, a crazy hike from snow creek in the desert off the 10 to the summit....

The Tram and a birthday party


Eric and Kerri took Ty and Roman up to the tram in a bit of a snow storm.  They loved every minute!!



Nic turned 6 last week and had a party to celebrate.  The whole neighborhood was there to help!

The Living Desert

Grandma Karen was with us for one more weekend and she watched the boys all weekend while Eric and I got to spend the weekend away.  I think everyone had a great time!

On Saturday she took them to the Living Desert which is one of their favorite places.  They got to ride a camel, pet butterflies and goats, ride a tram and see all sorts of cool animals, all while getting spoiled by Grandma!!!




Thank you for the wonderful weekend Grandmas!!! Love-all 5 of us!!!

Family & NYE

Karen bravely watched all 5 boys so the 6 of us could go out for a nice dinner.  We had a great meal at Zin with yummy wine and the best company.


New Years Eve, Luke and Zoe sharing a toast.
My cooking skills came out with a lobster cocktail, turned out great!


The twins got tattoo guns for Christmas and the big kids had a blast tatting up their faces & arms!

More of the day

We all went hiking at Indian Canyons.  It was great to get out and enjoy the sunshine!

The water was flowing hard from all the recent rains so Eric & Jake took turns carrying us all across..... numerous times!


Kerri and Niko gave us our very own shotski for Christmas!

Jon taught Luke the rules of golf and humble pie.
