4 day weekend

 We had a 4 day weekend in January and decided to try camping at a new place - Guajome, in Oceanside.  Just a 10 minute drive to the beach.  It was a nice place with a lake, lots of little hiking trails and a good atmosphere.

 Taking a walk and found this neat little trail.

 The kids enjoyed riding down this hill on their bikes.

 Just chillin' out.

 On Saturday we went to the beach. It started out kind of chilly, but ended up being a beautiful day!

 It's hard to see, but these are all of Devin's sandmen he made.  It took him about an hour an a half. Kept him quite busy.

 Oops.  Let me back up.  Saturday morning was baseball assessments, so we drove back home for that before going to the beach.

 Haley enjoyed coming too.

 Walking around the lake

 Riding down the big hill again.

 Saturday night we invited our friends (Devin's best friend, Jack and his family) to come have dinner and smores with us.  It was a very nice evening. This is Leah below with Avery.

 Kerry and Charlie giving Haley some love.

 It was a fun long weekend.  We really do have a great time camping!

Disneyland with friends!

Had a double date day at Disneyland with the Chases in January.  So much fun!

 My favorite picture.  Rick and I don't like The Tower of Terror, so we waited in line with Jolene and Kirk and then waited for them to be done.  Yep!  We are babies and losers.  

Avery's gymnastics

During January and part of February I signed Avery up for gymastics through the rec center.  She really enjoyed learning to do a little on the bars and better cartwheels and hand stands. :)

Devin's baptism

We opted to have Devin wait an extra few months to be baptized to give him time to learn more about what he was actually doing and take the missionary discussions (which he LOVED!).  He chose to be baptized in January with his friend, Trent.  He was truly excited and so proud and we were/are so proud of him for making such an important decision!

 Trent Paulsen and Devin

 Devin's best friend, Jack Stephens and his family came to support him too.  

WE LOVE YOU, DEVIN!

Happy New Year!

 On New Year's Day we went down to San Diego to see the Sea Lions and the temple.  I'm not sure why the pictures are out of order and I don't feel like fixing them, so they are just mixed together, which is okay with me.  We had a really nice afternoon!

 I'm sure it's frowned upon (getting on the decorations), but I'm bad and let them do it for a picture.
