pool one day...to the snow the next

last friday after school, i took the boys to the pool to play with their friends. yes, the pool in the winter... in the middle of january! it was probably in the high 70's or low 80's.brybry is like me when i was little. i tagged along ALL THE TIME when my older sister hung out with her friends! [hi sis :) love ya]






so that was friday. saturday, we decided to take a drive to big bear. although it wasn't snowing, it was fun for all of us. the boys don't get to see snow all but 1x a year! and does this even count? it was man-made snow blown out from a snow machine! LOL




this place was better than the place we went to last year. no scary chairlift!! plus i didn't have to hear whiney boys tell me they're tired from walking up snow hills! let me introduce---the "magic carpet". it's a moving escalator that takes to to the top of the hill! genius, right?


ok ok....brandon doesn't look that happy but daddy is!


bryan was happy. he's holding snow :)


ooops--picture is upside down! who has an iPhone 4s?? when my pictures from my phone are uploaded via iCloud, i cannot edit/rotate my photos. apparently, it's not compatible with windows. grrrrr. i managed to fandangle pictures from my phone by emailing them to myself and then editing them from there. does anyone have any other tips for me for editing iPhone 4 pics?



snowball fight!!


let me tell you having a good, inflated tube with no holes or rips makes for a smoother & faster ride down the hill! see how the blue one is 'puffier' than the yellow?



can you tell brybry was ready to call it a day? he actually wanted to go down one of the smaller hills by himself and he did. at the bottom of the hill, he said, "that.was.AWESOME"!!



fun saturday for us. and we were lucky we didn't choose sunday to go...it rained sunday off & on.



we went here a couple weekends ago, bruxie. it's a gourmet waffle house.


i had the bananas & nutella waffle. YUM!


no crafty cards to share this post but this store front caught my eye. love the pompom garland!



and this cute sign was outside that same store! super fun!
