Winter Birthdays

Special guests from Australia were here for our
January birthday celebration, plus we got to celebrate Shannie 

a little early.

 Uncle Hen & Aunt Mia always win with the coolest gifts

Happy 17th Birthday to me!

Got to have my first party and mom was just

excited to have my friends over for the first time.

Sorry not the best quality, but I had so much fun "performing" 

at my first job with my friends. It was a fun, festive experience.

Uncle Mark and Dad finally got to take a trip to the dirt together. 

Glad the other kids enjoyed it.

Halloween 2022

Celebrating Bear's 12th

Axel's 8th

and daddy's firehouse finale of 2022!

 

School

It was a busy fall with sports.

Thankfully, I can drive myself, am busy with my work, friends and 11th grade.

Lilli is in 8th and had fun on the OC JV Volleyball Team.

Axel loves the social aspects of 2nd grade.

Bear is excelling in math, reading and writing in 6th grade.

Here's 16.

 

Hollywood Bowl

We had a fun time at the Sound of Music Sing-a-long.

 

Gathering

We love our family, friends and church family!

 

Cousins

So glad we got to see our cousins in August. Plus extra bonus times with cute Kira & Kobi. Always a special day at Lola and Opa's when we all get to be together.

 

Summer Growths

Daddy was teaching Axel how to propagate...watermelons.

He was proud of his first baby.

Mikayla, MJ and I actually had a lot of fun

at the defensive driving course.

 

Stay-cation…or…

"Staycation 2022" was alright, minus the fact that 

BTS week was looming days in front of us. 

We had fun "Axel's Day" taking the train to San Clemete

going to the beach and eating crepes. "Bear's Day" at Nickle Nickle.

I think us girls just wanted shopping and eating out, but always

grateful for when daddy gets some time off to be with us.

then...this...

I still don't know who exactly to blame for this "upscale" camping trip for Labor Day weekend.  

Looked like Little House on the Prairie but felt closer to H.E._. _!! 

Thankfully when even tough Lilli started to complained & they broke me out of my friend's RV in the middle of the night so we could go sleep in our own beds in AC.  Definitely memorable!
