Dry Creek Trail


(do you see Ranger?)








We decided to get out and do a little hike today, so we checked out Dry Creek Trail up by Lake Cushman. It started out cold and cloudy, and Ridge was still not himself after being sick the day before so we ended up carrying him.  But it was a fun trail and eventually the sun peaked out and the fog cleared and it turned into a beautiful day!  There was a lot of Elk droppings along the trail and Daniel could tell they were fresh and must not be far away, and sure enough when he went to check out the camp area he snuck up on about 50 of them.

Children's Museum

For Ridge's birthday party/gift we went to the new Children's Hands on Museum with Riley and Ian, it's a cool place for kids but definitely loud and crowded..

I'm 3

Thursday 1/3/13 was Ridge's 3rd birthday.  It sneaks up on us being so close to the holidays but Ridge doesn't mind he enjoys more presents and treats.  Ridge is a stubborn one these days but also a sweetie pie, he's daddy's little buddy and mommy's little cuddle bug.  Three years have come and gone so fast but I'm so excited  for all the years ahead to continue to watch him grow and be entertained by his silliness. 

Ridge's favorite color is Orange, he wanted an orange cake with orange candles and he picked out an orange shirt from the store.

Happy 2013

New Years Eve
We got to spend new years with Rachel and Tyler's family, we had lots of fun and LOTS of good food.  

Root-beer tasting


We made a fun game for the kids by putting ideas in balloons and they popped them every 15 minutes then did the activities.  We did duck duck goose, wrestling, brushed teeth, told a story, and
Photo shoot and



Freeze dance..

The kids had their count down and went to bed about 9:30 ish.  Then we ate more and played a few games including Clue and Pigs,, I had an exciting win at the game of pigs, I went from rolling zero for 10 rounds or so to getting 75 points on one turn and winning.. After that it was about 11:15 so we didn't want to start a full length movie so we watched and war documentary and I slept till 12 then we said Happy New Year and went to bed.

New Years Day
We went to Fort Flagler and played, Ridge had been so excited to go to the beach, he likes the water and sand but now he keeps asking to go to a warm beach.
