Angel's Camp

We went to Angel's Camp with my Mom and Dad. It was wonderful! The kids had a great time swimming, playing tennis, arcade games and spending time with their grandparents. We miss them so much. Filippo, Grammy and Jenny Bridgete and Grampy We went up to Calaveras Big Trees...ummm no one thought there would be snow. It was still beautiful even though we couldn't walk on the trails. Me and my hubby!

Gymnastics

Bridgete walking on the balance beam (note...her feet are just like her mother's.) This was Bridgete's final class...they all took turns posing for the camera. Bridgete isn't into being the center of attention, so she wasn't too sure about the whole thing. When the class was over I asked her if she wanted to do it again. She said, "No thanks Mom." I think we will give ballet another shot, but what she really loves to do is run. Yep, that's right...run. She can almost take all of her brothers and sister in a race. It is a crack up.

MIA

Ok, for what it's worth, my computer was down for three weeks. It was actually kind of nice not to have so much technology in my life, but it also made me a bad bad blogger. Sorry. Dave and I are going on a cruise TOMORROW...by ourselves! We cannot wait. We are headed to Jamaica, Caymen Islands, Mexico and the Bahamas. Watch out virgin pina coladas...here I come! By the way, it is 9:30pm...we leave in 13 hours and I have not packed a thing. Better go!

My Funny Valentine

Every year we have a spaghetti dinner on Valentine's Day. Why is that?..you might ask. It is red and white...duh. The beverage of choice on this day of love can only be strawberry milk :) Are we festive or what?

Way to chow it down boys! Yikes. Eat up girls! I just love showing off their table manners. It makes a mama proud. (I promise...they usually take human sized bites)

Sledding with the Schramm's

Filippo coming down the mountain. Bridgete and Jenny riding the tubes down the mountain. Evan - love the expression :) Spencer and Daddy flying down the mountain. Somehow, they would always end up backwards. It was a beautiful day. We went to a snow park that is on the way to Reno. The kids look forward to it every year!

Look Mom....I am riding my bike!!!

Can't you see the pride in his little face? He was so excited to get rid of those darn training wheels. Everyday he asks Dad to go riding. Dave is the only one who can keep up!

Another picture of Spencer with Daddy running after him. I love this photo of them. Spencer had complete faith that Daddy wouldn't let him fall. And he hasn't let him down :o)

Jenny; Our Dancing Queen

This weekend, Jenny had a big regional dance competition. Her dance team at Elk Grove High is called Rythmical Madness. They didn't place in the hip hop category but took first in the large dance company category :o) She looked absolutely stunning, as you can see from the picture. We are so proud of the young woman she is.
