Big Bear

This past weekend was so much fun! Manuel, Aubree and I went up to a friend's cabin in Big Bear so Aubree could enjoy the snow! We left around 8:30 on Friday night and came home on Sunday afternoon, just in time for my mom's birthday party :]

My daughter is a little snow bunny! She absolutely LOVED the snow. Manuel built a slope that she slid down on her backside and on the sled with Daddy. I pulled her around the yard, and she fell out a couple of times, but still had a total blast and laughed everytime she or I fell. She looked like the Michelan Tire Man in her snow suit, but she was still the cutest thing ever. Abby (the girl whose family owns the cabin), Amanda and I made a Thanksgiving feast, that everyone loved :] The guys played beer pong and the girls watched a very amazing & educational video ( Amanda's at home, water birth video of Marley). While we had a great time in Big Bear, we were ready to come home.

Our friends, Jeremy, Amanda and their 3 month old daughter Marley also came up. Aubree is competely IN LOVE with Marley. She wanted to be in anyone's arms that had Marley. She wanted to hug and kiss and hold her every second of the day. She didn't like when Manuel or I held her though. SHe was like "That is my mommy and daddy...." haha, She was so incredibly cute!

On Sunday was my mom's 42nd birthday party. She spent her actual birthday (Feb 21st) at Disneyland with my baby sister Hannah. So my grandma and I made her yummy Taco Soup, her favorite salad and cornbread. :] She seemed to have a great time :]

All in all, life is great right now. We are enjoying our Disneyland passes and are looking for a new place to move to right now. Aubree is growing and changing everyday and suprises us with all her super cute things :] She now says Agua (even if you tell her water she says "AAAAAUUUUgua". She says "dog dog" "Mommy" "Daddy" and so many other things. She is quite the little ball of fire :]

I hope you dance....

This song is our dedicated to our Aubree <3

I hope you never lose your sense of wonder,
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger,
May you never take one single breath for granted,
GOD forbid love ever leave you empty handed,
I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance,
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Livin' might mean takin' chances but they're worth takin',
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth makin',
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter,
When you come close to sellin' out reconsider,
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

I hope you dance....I hope you dance.

I hope you dance....
I hope you dance.
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along,Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone.)

I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean,
Whenever one door closes I hope one more opens,
Promise me that you'll give faith a fighting chance,
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance.

Dance....
I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....
I hope you dance.
I hope you dance....I hope you dance..
(Time is a wheel in constant motion always rolling us along Tell me who wants to look back on their years and wonder where those years have gone)
