Pops & Nana

Stopped by Amy’s Farm with Nana to pet the horses. 
Got to see Pops for his birthday and of course he was game for fun. 
Glad we didn’t give him our germs! 

 

Cute Pups

Now these two cuties deserve some air time,
 not so sure about the bad, but cute, pup.


Spring Break 2022

Family memories, interesting how we all remember it differently.
The crazy ones went in the 60 degree water.
More memories made at Newport, 
Nickle Nickle and Adventure Playground.

We were so proud of Axel who really became a riding pro,
we got to ride all the way to the Shack Shake!

The man, the myth, the legend

Bittersweet, the boy's best friend moved
 to be closer to Aunt Shannie
we are happy for them but miss them lots. 
So glad we get to see them in the summer!
We are special friends, 
we started off protesting in strollers at anti-human trafficking rallies over a decade ago. 
Now teenagers ourselves.
 

Mama Dates in Motion

 You’ve probably seen your fair share of TB 🌮🔔pics




Still more fun… “yes, mom” 
     “I am having a happy childhood “ … 
if you want a laugh, check our weefeasel's cosplay...



He’s a Real Player

Axel's soccer mentor, Lucas, was a great supporter
Pops came to cheer him on too
and HE SCORES!!


 Our favorite soccer player!

Sweet 16 Gift?

So for my 16th birthday someone stole the catalytic converter off MY Prius, so of course my daddy fixed it. 

 

Memories with Taya & Grace

The inevitable reunion and the inevitable virus.
We almost got to start off 2022 right, with just
a few delays.
We got to celebrate Grace's 12th, Lilli's 13th
and Mikayla's 17th


 

Lilli’s Memorable 13th

 We had a girl's night out at Spaggi's and it was quite memorable;

For Lilli's birthday, daddy made her a "hideout"
I wasn't too happy about Smokey visiting,
even if it was her birthday! 

Mountain Top Meeting


 A White Christmas wish...
we got to meet the Forsters at the top of Mt Baldy.
Lola & Tita Ema squeezed in the Land Cruiser with us too!

Christmas Day 2021


 Christmas Day at Nana & Pop’s new house
Aunt Shannie was super sick, so we brought some extra 
Vitamin C
Yes, he can build 1,000 pieces in a day
Yes, I wake up this beautiful
Yes, they still sleep together most nights
and it's the cutest thing ever (finally quiet)
Christmas morning building my record box with dad


We always enjoy Nana's little Winter Wonder Land

Christmas Eve 2021

Christmas Eve at Lola & Opa's house. 
First year without our "German Cousins", 
so it was a little quieter than usual. 






 

Our Harpist

Lilli started learning the harp via Zoom 




This video is mom's favorite as it shows Lilli 
"practicing with the judging crowd"
Lilli's humble evening practices are a sweet sound in our chaotic household.
