Snow Days

It was a clear sunny day and we decided to head up the highway to find some snow. We ended up at Sly Park where it was just frigid.

Jon and I brought our snowboarding gear to keep warm and we dressed Rylee in her pink and hot pink snow clothes..."My colors are blush and bashful mama".
This was Rylee's first experience with snow. She was a bit timid at first because of the unstable ground. With every step she took she would say, "Sinking, Sinking etc". (Oh, there's Brody in my GUT!)
You couldn't miss her because her outfit could be seen from a mile away. She reminded me a lot of the movie, "A Christmas Story". She was part "deranged Easter Bunny" and the little brother who could bearly move in the snow because his mom laygered his clothes so much. Jon and I couldn't help from laughing the whole time.
Jon then taught her how to make snowballs and they had a snowball fight. Rylee won, of course, though Jon got a few good shots in as well. We had a great time!!! Rylee is always ready to go back!!!

Blake in Berkeley again...

As you know our nephew Blake is taking drum lessons and is getting quite good. Every quarter Blake has a band concert. Here he is...a changed boy.

He is also working on the bass guitar. Blake still says that drums are his favorite!

Funny Faces!!!

Those of you that know Rylee, she is a PERSONALITY PLUS!!! She is such a character and loves attention! Then again, who at this age hates attention? She is so silly and loves to show off every minute she gets. I have no idea where she gets it from....probably from Jon!!!!

BURRRRHHHH!!!!

Did I mention that it's starting to finally get cold here? Well here are some fun little pictures to illustrate what I mean.
This picture was taken in doors. Gotta save some money for college - no heater this month!!!!
Here we are at the park just having a little fun. I guess it wouldn't have been so cold if we hadn't gone in the black of night. Oh well, we had fun none the less!!!
Here Rylee is screwing around in our garage with Jon. This is what Jon wears to mow the lawn...can't forget the backpack! She looks CRAZY!!!
