It was great to be able to celebrate this amazing woman with the entire family. Happy Birthday Grandma!

We have also be enjoying our disneyland passes once again. After taking a three year break from passes we decided we were ready again. And thankfully we have great friends to enjoy it with! 

So great!

My old high school teachers are pretty wonderful. What other high school teachers would spend their spare time learning a dance to participate in a flash mob during break to entertain their kids?

Check it out right here:  RHS FLASH MOB

Oh Rocklin High, you spoiled me.

Finally!

We MOVED!!!  ...about 20 ft. from our old apartment to our new place.  

Here are a few previews from right after we moved in. Still a lot more organizing and some rearranging to do, but we are slowly getting there.

Other than the move and organizing... 

We had a great time at the Warriors game with Joanna in the beginning of January.

We had a great day spent with some good friends from out of town.

And a wonderful day hiking in the canyon right near our house on an 85 degree day with the Bradshaws, who recently moved here. We love having them here!

Looking forward to another Warriors game this weekend and an Iron and Wine concert next week. 

Busy Month for us!

Soaking it up

I am trying to relax as much as I can as I soak up my last three days of Christmas vacation. Before break started I was bummed that I had to work on the 23rd, but now I am stoked! Good choice Pasadena School District! 

Christmas and New Years were great! We had a great time in Grants Pass, OR with my extended family and then had a wonderful week with my family back in Rocklin. 

The whole fam

 The girl cousins with the amazing earrings that Uncle Dennis made for us from our favorite lamp from our grandparents that was made for them by our Aunt. 

 Myles was pretty excited that he got Lips and Lotion in his stocking!

We went to the Folsom zoo on Christmas eve day. 

 Cute parents

 New Years Day we had good friends over for the day to celebrate. The Baker/Hays girls have been friends for over 20 years now. Its always good to be back together again!

 The Dunlops came up on New Years day to join the  party and stayed the night in Rocklin with us. We just love that Ruby girl. 

Off to relax again!!

Merry Christmas

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hope you are all enjoying Christmas with family and friends. 

Love,

Joey and Lindsey

New Camera...

Equals lots of Blog updates (hopefully)!!

Yesterday made the rainy drive down to Capistrano Beach to visit the Higerd family. 

The girls have gotten SO big since we last saw them and we loved meeting the newest addition to the Higerd clan. 

Caroline still has Joey wrapped around her little finger. We watched from inside the warm house while the two of them played outside in the rain and mud. 

A perfect mixture of her parents...cute orange toenail polish and muddy feet. 

Annabelle preferred cuddling with her Dad inside. 

Mari...how did I end up without a picture with you in it?

Can't wait for these guys to move out here in a few months so we can spend a lot more time with them.

It's Here!

CHRISTMAS week!

And the Olsens are starting the week off right. 

Schmitke/Baker family Chocolate/White chocolate/Pistachio/Cranberry Bark.

And the Olsen family English Toffee (my first attempt this year, but I think it came out pretty well!)

We both work through Thursday and are hoping this week flies by so we can get up to Oregon with the family! 

Happy Christmas week to you!
