Lake Arrowhead, CA

Leif and I met up with a bunch of college friends in Lake Arrowhead, CA, to celebrate Corey McMullin's nuptuals. It was a great time with great peeps in a great setting!

The boys played a lot of games, beginning with a round of ball while wating for our rental car:

We stopped for a photo-op on our way up the mountain:

This is the boys playing another game of "hit that thing over there with a rock."

We visited this arcade twice! (Leif was the basketball champion, of course) It was the place where obsolete games went to die.

I also beat Stephanie Lott in the worst game of air hockey ever!

And, here we are at the wedding:

Highland Parade

Liam's first parade.

( I discovered that the double looped beads are a bad idea.)

Liam also got his first ICEE (well, he shared it with me). Big day!!!

Fork

Lookin' coordinated!!!

February Austin Trip

Catchin' up!

Liam and I went to Austin to see Leif (and Elmo!) several weeks ago. We also got to spend some good time with the Philbrooks and their son, Jacob. Liam and Jacob played sooo well together:

...at Leif's soccer game...

...at the park....

...and at Flying Saucer!

We also got a quick trip to the zoo, which was more like an animal sanctuary.

We'll probably get back to Austin some time in May, so be looking for us, Austinites!

Go Packers!!!

Playing with the Brubakers' toys is way better than watching the Super Bowl!!!

Snow Day

Interested in the crunch, not so thrilled by the cold.

Margaret's First Birthday

Liam and I made a day trip to Arlington (TX) with Mom and Harv on Saturday for Margaret Louis' first birthday party.

Liam really wanted to reach these balloons and thought that climbing up on that short stump would get him close enough to reach. The idea was right, but the scale was completely off!

The boys love playing with their Papa Harv!

(man, Liam needs a haircut again!)

The Louis family singing Happy Birthday to their youngest member:

Sweet kisses:

Happy Birthday Margaret!!!
