Yosemite!! Fun times with the Beckers!






WE were fortnunate enough to be invited to visit the Beckers at their cabin in Yosemite for MLK day weekend. We had such a blast.... the kids enjoyed the snow, even though we missed the innertubing at Badger Pass-- ( that trip will be know as "the most inconvenient lunch we could ever have had with kids"! And will go down in our memories! Rock Band was played by all---- a few new stars were born with the Yose Mites. There were many fans of them under 3 years of age! After the kids went to bed , the adults got to play games! We played Pictionary and the women beat the men.... and the CoitKirkSOns whomped the FItzBeckOises...... We do apologize for that landslide of a victory-- NOT REALLY! ; ) Many memories were created.... we hope to be invited back again! And as an aside... that was Rob's FIRST trip to Yosemite, as well as Brianna's ( although that's not as surprising! ; )

First trip to the snow!





Betsy, Justin, Sydney and the Hodgson clan ventured out to find snow the other day ..... we ended up stopping along the side of the road on the way to the snow park to build our snowman. Brianna may not even have realized that we were at the snow, but she enjoyed the time with her parents anyways...... Betsy and Sydney created a great snowman which Brianna was fascinated by! Oh, the joys of childhood!

How cute am I?


Here is Brianna trying on her new hat and boots for the snow!! ;)

First Christmas tree



Here's Brianna's first Christmas tree! Now it's planted on our property! How's that for recycling!?

I love my new sweater!



Mimi made a beautiful sweater for Brianna for Christmas....although it's a little big still, it's so adorable.... and it makes her look all grown up!

Goat and Me!



Goat loves his little girl.... he often times just sleeps next to her, or strokes up against her. And when Brianna sees her Goat she smiles a HUGE smile-- she loves him!! One day Brianna will be confused about what a "GOAT" is! ; )

Very behind......in Blogs. A Few pictures




OUR LITTLE GIRL!! Her happy smile, reading with dad, and her new highchair!
