New York

In November we took a girl trip to New York. I loved it! the smells, noise, people, shops, shows all of it! I didn't think it would be my type of place but I was wrong. We were supposed to see "the Little Mermaid" but thanks to the strike that fell through. It didn't stop us from having a good time my girls are very adaptable. (Oh, and we ran into Matt Harping at FAO) Thanks Grandpa Hicken for making this trip possible.

Sledding

We had Monday off school. We went to the church parking lot and found some pretty good sledding piles. Luke was not a big fan. He really hates snow clothes and kept pulling on his hat and gloves saying he was stuck.

Mia's Wild Party

Mia just had her 8th Birthday party. We had a rock and roll theme. We made rock star boxes, played pin the microphone on Hanna Montana, played guitar hero and rock band, and made our own rock band names and costumes. The all girl band was named "Girls Off the Leash" and the other was "Dirty Boys and Girls". All went smoothly except for a mouth injury due to extreme dancing. (he recovered and got a visit from the tooth fairy so all ended well)

Japan Trip

In October we had the opportunity to go to Japan. (No kids) I loved every minute of it. We met up with some of Brandon's friends and they took us to see many cool places outside of the city. It was fun to hear Brandon talking Japanese. I loved the people and the food. I wouldn't mind spending more time there someday.

San Diego

We get to take a trip to San Diego this week! Here are some pictures from last years good times. This year we plan on spending plenty of time at the beach the girls want to rent bikes and ride around Coronado. Last year we went to Sea World this dolphin ignored the kids on the other side and came over to stare back at Jada.

Ice Skating

Last night we took the kids to a local ice skating rink. The girls loved it and caught on pretty quickly. Luke loved being pulled, carried, and pushed but didn't grasp much more than that. Mia and Jada both had some pretty hard falls so next time helmet and elbow pads are a must.

Hawaii

In the fall of 2006 we had an amazing adventure in Hawaii. Luke was too young so he stayed home with Grandma. We all agree it is one of the greatest places on the planet. We get to go back this upcoming winter. Luke is coming I'm sure he will love it too.

Glacier

More pictures of our summer trip.

Glacier National Park

Wow I really need to take more pictures of everyday life. The only pictures we have are of vacations. We have been some pretty amazing places. So to start out I will share a few. This is from a trip in summer 2007 to Glacier National Park. My little family is so much fun to travel with the kids were great and Luke was an avid hiker.
