let it snow

Oh today was soooo fun! I haven't been to the snow, in no joke, probably twenty years. We weren't a snow family. Yet, I have always had a dream of owning a cabin somewhere by a lake where during the summer we could boat and during the winter we could play in the snow. Anyway...one day =)
But for today we took a trip up to mountain high to play in the snow. We surprised Grey cause he had a sleep over last night at Geoff's parents place with his cousins, so when we picked him up we told him we had a surprise. As we were driving on the freeway towards home and the mountain finally came into view Geoff says to Grey..."do you want to know where we are going?" He then pointed to the mountain and told him to the snow. Greys response, " how do we get way up there?" Got to love the three year old mind. So we had a fairly easy drive, stopped off at Sports Chalet for a sled, some In n Out fries (yummy), potty break and up the mountain we went. Took a while to find a parking spot, but we did and then we started our adventure. Grey was a little weary of the snow, don't blame him. Its kind of interesting if you have never seen it before, it didn't help that mommy's boots were sinking into the snow, which kind of freaked him out. He got over it though. So we got him dressed in his new rainboots (they worked great), his pants over his jeans, big jacket, new gloves and beanie and he was all set. Sister got to sport her cute new outfit and boots too... sadly, mommy didn't really think about myself so well. I thought boots, check I have a pair....ok with no traction. It was like I was freaking ice skating with a baby on my chest. Not ok!!! Next time think of myself, then the kids, they are not good without there mommy safe. So, I unfortunately caused us a little drama just being a bit timid...fell once or twice. phew! But we made it to a great spot to sled.
Grey and Daddy on the far left sled ready to go down the big hill...
Grey not so sure about his first experience, daddy putting his feet down to slow them down resulted in:


hysterically crying boy cause the ice shooting up from under daddy's feet (see above picture) landed straight in Grey's face. He wasn't ok with getting wet. Until we calmed him down and explained its ok to get wet and covered with snow that I have a change of clothes in the car. Thank goodness he was willing to try again.


Me and my buddy, who, by the way wasn't too sure of the cold. Everytime there was a breeze she would cry. She is such my little girl.



Luckily, Daddy and Grey found this perfect size hill for him and he absolutely fell in love with sledding. He had no fear. He would walk up the hill himself holding the sled, hop on and down he'd go.



Having so much fun.





Waving from up top the hill...this was the tiny hill. I was so proud of Grey.

























Daddy's turn...








The boys having a blast together









The fam.... I didn't care if it was a great pic, just as long as we all made it in the picture...



Baby girl in her black track suit, so cozy!




Stepping in the snow with her cute boots


Watching brother in the distance


I had to walk a bit to calm Sissy down...she finally fell asleep




Backwards down the hill...why not!
Grey did such a great job and had so much fun. We got some cute video, but I missed the best moment of the day. Grey wanted to go down the big hill again, but this time by himself...crazy! So Geoff and him walked to the top, Geoff got him in position and then told him to hold on til he got down to the bottom of the hill (I'm about 50 feet away). So it's Greys turn, he pushes off, starts going down the hill, he is FLYING, he hits a bump...catches crazy air ( about 2 feet off the surface of the hill) thankfully had enough sense not to let go of the sled, landing back on the hill, on the sled and rides it out right past daddy!!! lets just say, I shreaked so loud I woke Emerson up, the people watching him closer to the hill all made a "woooo" sound in unison and then when he landed safely I started cheering for him...
His response to me at the top of his lungs: "Mommy was that awesome?"
Oh Greyson... I proceeded to give Geoff the knife across the throat sign meaning no more and they came back to the small hill.
It was such a fun day! Can't wait to do it again...next time with appropriate boots for mommy =)

Date night












Mr. Moysa and I had a date night!!! Yay for date night! I can't wait for the next one. We went to Fresh n Easy and loaded up on sushi, beer and my favorite; Poki. We headed to the Montage picnic area and set up on a bench all to ourselves. The weather again was perfect. It did get chilly once the sun went down, but that just allowed for some cuddle time. We enjoyed an amazing sunset and it was so nice. Something we need to do more often. No need to go to a nice restaurant, thats just not us.



xo

ohhhh, I just want to smooch her all the time!!! Her cheeks are so kissable...






The beach in winter

A few weeks ago I took the kids down to my old stomping ground... I had posted one pic of that day of Grey already. Here are just a few mores. I love the sandy jeans, toes and hands on my boy. We are so spoiled to be able to enjoy 75 degree weather in February.

Greyson said he wanted to make sand angels...pretty funny. It made me laugh to think of all the kids who grow up in the snow, how they do snow angels all the time...not here, we do SAND angels. Hey, it works.

This is his funny cheese face. Hoping he doesn't continue this for Auntie Lous wedding.


My big boy officially is the greatest pumper on the swings, I love that I don't have to push him anymore...Especially cause sissy needs me, so I don't feel bad that Grey isn't getting pushed.
I love this boy, even with all his energy, attitude and crankiness =) He has been the best big brother ever and has become the funniest little boy around. Hey Grey... "you crack me up!"
xoxo



Auntie C's bday

We celebrated auntie C's birthday at the beginning of February. All she wanted was for mom to make her yummy enchiladas and rainbow confettie cupcakes. Easy lady to satisfy =) The kids helped open her gifts and blow out her candles...Happy Birthday!
