Hiking in Caroline Park…

We decided that Chomp is probably big enough for his Kelty Backpack now that he sits up so well.  So, today, we went on a little hike in Caroline Park.

He LOVED, LOVED, LOVED it!  We are continually amazed at how much this kid loves being outside.  He giggled the whole time that we walked.  (We think that he liked the bouncy sensation of the backpack).

This was a trial run for the snowshoeing that is to come this winter.  Speaking of which, where is El Nino already?!   Come on snow!!   You’re only there on the tippy tops of the mountains.

2 Reasons Why We Live Where We Do…

These were both taken within the last week :)

Yucaipa Park 12.5

From Olive 12.8.09

Yes, these are the same mountains.  The first picture is from last Friday at Yucaipa Community Park.  The second is from our walk today in South Redlands. 

Beautiful!!  

Chomp and Momma took a lunch trip to the snow to visit Daddy today.  But, you will have to wait for those pictures ;)

Thanksgiving Part I and II…

 Thanksgiving-dinner-2

Part I:  Gosenson Home with the Erquiaga Side.  4 generations :)  Lots of fun.

 

Girls-2

 

 

And part II with the Stewarts.  Lots of food.  Football.  Good Times.  These pics we took at home before we got there. It’s totally Heather’s fault that there’s only half of Josh’s face…she was trying too hard to get Chomp to look at the camera, she forgot to pay attention to what she was shooting.  OOPS!

Thanksgiving Part III: tomorrow with the Kayser side :)  Yummm!

Buddy Walk 2009…

Today, we went to Buddy Walk 2009 at Anaheim Stadium with our friend the Avis’s to raise money for the Down Syndrome Association of Orange County and make sure that everyone knew how amazing Chompy’s friend Macy is! :)

We were a part of Team Macyn Hope!  

We had so much fun hanging out with our friends, taking the 1/2 mile walk, and checking out all of the events on the field.  We even got to go into the Angels Dugout! Woot!  

Here are some cute pictures from today!!
