What a difference a year makes.....

We enjoyed a little picnic up in Oak Glen today with the kids. It has already been a year since we took Holden up there for the first time. That was also when we found out we were expecting little Maddie! Wow time sure does fly when you are busy.

Lake Arrowhead weekend

We celebrated my grandparents 80th birthday up in Lake Arrowhead. It was a beautiful day and we had a great time visiting with family. The next day we met up with our friends Travis and Simone and they were kind enough to take us out on there boat. The weather was so awesome and Holden loved being out on the water. Little Maddie slept most of the time. We had a great weekend!
