Big Bear trip and Matts b-day


I'm back and going to try to catch up a bit. Let's go back to May. May is always a busy month for our family. We have Mothers Day, Ivy's birthday, my dad's birthday, my grandma's birthday, brittany's birthday, and memorial day. So the weekends fill up pretty quickly.
This Memorial Day Stan and Ivy asked us to go to Big Bear with them for a little weekend getaway. I really don't take the kids anywhere over night because they aren't good sleepers but I decided to attempt it. While it turned out better than I expected, it was still a rough night of sleeping for me and Jack. We came up on Sunday and stayed through Monday night. We had a great time. We went to see and play on Stan and Ivy's property that they own (huge piece of land). That was a lot of fun for the kids to run around and collect pine cones and rocks and "treasures". We went into town a couple of times and walked around, shopped, and ate. We went to Big Bear Lake and walked around, skipped rocks and the kids LOVED it there. Ivy and I took Emily to the park and the fire station. We also hiked around the back of the cabin. It was a really great time and I can't wait until Jack gets a little older and sleeps better so that we can do fun stuff like this more often. The kids had a WONDERFUL time with Grammy and Papa and got lots of one on one attention from them. Thanks Stan and Ivy for a great weekend!! We made a lot of fun memories.

For Matt's birthday we had a family birthday party the weekend before and on his actual birthday he took the day off to go to, none other than, good old Disneyland. It was actually really fun and we got free Disney cash! Here are some pics of the day.
