Yucaipa regional park

This place was awesome. Camping, hiking, mountain biking, 3 lakes to fish in, a HUGE play area for the kids, and tons of trees and lots of grass. We spent half the day there and plan to go back and camp very soon. And no, Ryder is not yawning. He's right in the middle of yelling "fuzzy pickle" for the photo.

For Eden and Miss Barney

So guys, it's all over the internet. And what? No editorial from you guys yet. I was kind of looking forward to reading your thoughts on the matter. Your audience wants to know what you think of the prospect of Dakota Fanning being cast as "Jane" in the new Twilight movie. Come on girls, what's your opinion???

Eureka Peak

Taken today. We discovered this peak that overlooks the entire Coachella Valley. You can also see both San Jacinto and San Gorgonio mountain ranges at the same time. It was very breezy and chilly.....good times! The last picture is the position we found Ryder in when we pulled into the driveway...just like his dad.

Talking to Chloe

"Mom, I wish we had a new trampoline. I miss our old one."

"We'll get one soon, honey. After we have saved up enough money."

"How much money does it cost?"

"A lot. Like $250!"

"Oh, well, Papa told me that Granny has lots of money stuffed in her purse."

Happy New Year
