Winter? What Winter?

California had a crazy warm winter this year...January there were days in the 80s and all the blossoms started coming out on the trees the last few weeks in January.  I am not complaining...it was nice, but bizarre.  So what do you do when it is warm and sunny?  Go to the beach.  We went to the beach a lot this winter.  Monterey with my brother Tyler and sister in law Lynnsey in January, and Mailbu for Valentine's Day.

                                                Me and Lynnsey at beautiful Point Lobos

 We saw a deer on our hike and Jamo was estatic.  Really tame and came right up to us

                                        Tyler and Lynnsey at the beautiful cove in Point Lobos

 Cole and Jamisen.  Best buds playing on beach in Monterey.  80 degrees in January. It was crazy.

                                                                Love this little munchkin...

                               Little Saturday morning sidewalk chalk drawing with Daddy

 Funny little note and drawings Jeff wrote me for Valentine's Day in our "marriage" journal.

                                                       Malibu Beach for Valentine's Day

                                     Daddy and Jamisen having fun on the beach in Malibu

Valentine's Day Dinner in Malibu...as you can see it got a little crazy taking kids.  That is Jamisen trying to be a bug or alien with the chop-sticks.

                                                   Beautiful Mission Inn in Riverside CA

 Went to an Open House in Rancho Cucomonga for Jeff's niece Annilyn who got married a month before in Utah

                                                              First time to the LA Zoo

                                          Silverback Gorillas...highlight.  They were amazing!

 It was soooo hot!  Like 90 degrees.  Jamisen and I stopped for a much needed snow cone break

I heart attacked the boys doors leading up to Valentine's Day

 Jamisen saying goodbye to his friends Jonathon and Caleb Tracy before they moved to Dallas.

              Jamisen loves driving Uncle Ryan's new electric boat out on Woodward Lake
