New Years Day 2015

Is it already 2015?  Seriously, it feels as though we just had Y2K.  We did something a little different this year for New Years.  Our gift to the Hixsons and vice versa were Season Passes to Knott's Berry Farm.  On New Years Eve, we went to Soupplantation for Linner.  Instead of our usual slumber party, we parted ways and got a good nights rest so that we could head out early to go to KBF.  It was busier than usual but that was to be expected.  We didn't feel any pressure to go on every ride because we will have plenty of opportunities to go again.  Selah, Providence and Brayden all went on their first upside down ride.  Jason put a anti-nausea patch behind his ear and was able to actually enjoy going on the rides. 

Snow!!!!

What a wonderful surprise to wake up to 3-4 inches of snow.  This is such a rarity for us Southern California folk.  What a bummer for Sawyer.  He was feeling sick so he didn't get to experience the snow.  He just got to view it from the window.  The other kiddos sledded and made snowman.  We had  snow and ice

on the ground for 5 days. 

Paintball!!!

Aunt RayRay gave the boys the awesome gift of time together and adventure.  She took all the boy cousins to play paintball in San Diego.  I think this gift ranked very high for my 2 gun crazy boys.

Christmas 2014

Another Christmas has come upon us and we have filled every moment with activity.  The usual events of the Be A Santa To A Senior Wrapping Party, Hemet Christmas Parade, Christmas Celebration at Cornerstone and celebrations with friends and family.  Providence had a solo in the Christmas program and Brayden had a speaking part.  This was Dallas' first year singing with Lightforce and Selah enjoyed Kids Praise.  Jason and I decided we wanted to promote family "togetherness"  for the gifts to the kids.   We all have season passes to Knott's Berry Farm and we will be going on a Disney Cruise this summer (compliments of Home Instead).  The kids also got a trampoline that has already gotten much use, as well as tickets to see the movie Annie.  We were blessed to have the Denny Norris' family home again for Christmas and RayRay.  We have so much to be thankful for.

O-Rides

Dallas was finally able to participate in the Orientation Airplane Rides for CAP.  He and another cadet fly with a pilot from Hemet Ryan Airport to March Airforce Base and back.  He was able to pilot the plane for a short time.  I think we have a future pilot in the making.
