For our 10 year anniversary we took a few days for ourselves and went to South Lake Tahoe. I was longing for a rigorous hike (without kids), and Travis found a good one for us. Unfortunately, I injured my foot in a local race a few days before we left for Tahoe so I didn't think I would make it on a hike. But Travis knows how to push me on, so we tried a short hike we've done before to test my foot out. It hurt, but it was a good trial hike. Angora Lakes were as beautiful as always.</div>

So the next day we went on the hike Travis had planned, with the option to turn around if I needed to stop. Thankfully I have incredible hiking shoes and a great hiking partner, so off we went. It was a six mile loop that would take us to two different lakes, Winnemucca and Round Top Lakes.</div>

I made it about 100 yards past this and then started to panic. It was the slippery shale that made feel like I would loose my footing at any moment and slide off the side of the mountain. Travis would have kept going if he had been on his own, and I told him I was fine waiting for him, but he decided to come back down with me because he didn't even have a hiking stick for stability (he has smartened up in his old age!)</div>

Father's Day is usually the weekend after Travis' birthday and we have been spending it at the cabin because it's also the start of the summer concert in the pines. Good music, dancing, and a great park with a climbing structure for the kids. </div>

A few pictures of Grandpa Great, his purple heart, and the bible that the Hilmar pastor gave him in the hospital in Germany…a pastor from back home just so happened to be stationed in the hospital that Grandpa was sent to after suffering from frostbite from walking for miles and miles in the frozen forests. The story that I've heard many times (and never get tired of hearing) is that the military doctors were going to amputate Grandpa's legs because they were so badly frozen. The pastor came to pray with Grandpa, and after recognizing Grandpa, pleaded with the doctors to give him more time because he knew Grandpa was a farmer and needed his legs in order to have a livelihood after the war. It worked, and my Grandpa was able to keep his legs. He was considered 40% disabled for the rest of his life, but that in no way held him back from becoming an incredibly successful man. In fact, if you knew my grandpa but didn't know the story, you would never have guessed that he had little feeling in his feet. After knowing the story, you can see how special that small bible is to all of us.<br />

After a night of dancing an playing, we spent the next day helping my dad build the new table set for the deck of the cabin.<br />
This is the raw wood that will be a bench…to give it a little scale, those are my dad's size 12 feet on the right side of the picture.<br />

It's the second time we've visited this beach house and it is still perfect or our needs. Walk right out the back door to a soft sand beach. Our kids are still too young to want to spend hours at a beach, so this set up is perfect. Walk out back, play for 20-40 minutes, go inside, come back out an hour later and repeat.<br />

Spencer turned TWO in April. I can't believe how strange it is to type that…how can he possibly be two? It's been a crazy two years, and he (and I!) have come a long way :) He is talking so much more now, he is potty training himself (yay!) and he LOVES to play and joke around. Seriously, he jokes. He loves to make people laugh and once he figures out how to get you going, he keeps at it until he's tired of the game. It's one of my favorite personality traits of his and I hope it sticks around.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, we had the family over for dinner and cake. Spencer's favorite part was the presents, of course :)</div>

Apparently I can only handle one hobby at a time (and I've been knitting up a storm lately!!) which means my poor blog has been put aside- yet again…</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here's what we did this spring…we found snow! One of the only snow storms to hit our area this year was in April. APRIL. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We took a day and played around in the snow. I feel like Adaline has always been adventurous in the snow, and Spencer is quickly following her lead. We had to head up pretty high to find snow to sled in and even then, it wasn't more than 6-8 inches deep. </div>

Jen and Denton had two girls that are the same age as our two kids, and Danelle and Jake have twins that are just younger than Adaline, but still in the same class. They play together every school day and still can't get enough of each other. Jen and Denton were kind enough to have us all over for an evening of Smores to socialize (and wear the kiddos out, I'm sure!)</div>

…especially Sammy :) We had such a good time! It's so nice to spend time with people who are in the exact same place in life as we are. It was a short and sweet visit, just long enough to tire the kids out, but not so long that they exhausted themselves to the point of breakdown. Home and in bed by 8~ a perfect night in my book!Margohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07197641523090852578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681052285714452033.post-47844196288770721542014-04-16T12:59:00.002-07:002014-04-16T12:59:19.723-07:00Grandma's BirthdayLast year we were in Carpinteria for my mom's birthday, and this year we will be there for my sister's birthday. Love how that works out for us :)<br />
But this year, Grandma's birthday fell on a Wednesday. We were all still able to get together to celebrate with a dinner and some grandchild-decorated cookies. Always a good time when we're all together!<br />

We were finally able to take a weekend away in Santa Cruz. We have long wanted to get the old crew together for an updated photo. Unfortunately, it was planned last minute (our fault!!) so we were missing the Adams family and Mike who was working that weekend (but we still had his better half, Leslie! For some reason, I didn't get a picture with her in it.)</div>

Next, we headed to Grandpa and Grandma Walsh's house for an overnight visit. We rushed down to Longs Marine Lab before closing time Saturday to experience the hands on exhibits of starfish and other marine life. The kids loved it!<br />

A quick surf lesson to end the trip, and we were on our way back home. A fun trip, but not long enough.

Six years ago Trace entered the world on Grandpa's birthday. Every year since, we've had a joint party for them and it's always so much fun. This year, Trace set it all up himself. He called all of us and asked us to go to dinner at a restaurant (that would sing to him- the one and only request he had!) and to come over to his house for cake and presents afterward. He's growing into such a neat guy :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Dinner was a hit- the first time that Travis and I have successfully eaten dinner with both kids without having to leave the table because of crying…Travis only had to leave the table once with Spencer and it was only because of the offensive smell that he was emitting ;P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back at Trace's house, Trace quickly organized a tractor-fixing station (with his new tools!) so that Grandpa could help him fix his broken tractor. Spencer deemed himself helper and looked on approvingly. </div>

The gym that Adaline attends offers birthday party packages, and Travis and I agreed that it was the best idea for this year's party. Adaline's classmates and all their parents could come and someone else was in charge of setting up, entertaining the kids, and cleaning up! </div>

Happy 4th birthday, Adaline! It feels like just yesterday that I was waiting for your arrival, and yet you are already in pre-school, Pretty School as you like to call it. It is so fun to watch you grow up, making friends of your own, and being a great big sister.Margohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07197641523090852578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681052285714452033.post-75640239986968684792014-04-12T13:17:00.001-07:002014-04-12T13:17:41.410-07:00New Year's Playtime <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was also able to finish up a gift for our friends' Chuck and Darla's first baby…a beautiful little girl named Cora. Hopefully she was able to fit into the gift at least once before she grew out of it :)<br />

I didn't take a lot of pictures for the month of January. We didn't do anything special, just eased into the new year doing our own thing, mainly looking forward to February and Adaline's 4th birthday...Margohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07197641523090852578noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7681052285714452033.post-69650576140835930262014-03-12T19:59:00.002-07:002014-03-12T19:59:51.451-07:00Christmas Day 2013<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The next morning we headed out to Hilmar to have our annual Christmas Breakfast with the Tornquist Family. I forgot my camera (I've been doing that a lot lately…shame on me!) and left my phone in the car, so I didn't get any pictures of the beautiful gathering. It's the one time of year that we all manage to get together, and by all, I mean roughly 50 of us. It's crazy to see all of our children playing together…</div>

The next day (I think…) We headed to Long Barn to try our hand at ice skating. Funny, because there is an ice rink five houses down from us in Turlock, but we never managed to actually skate on it. We visited at least once a week and watched everyone else skate, but it took us going 2 hours up the hill to get out on the ice :) Laura's a pro at it, so that gave Adaline the confidence to get out and try. She only lasted a couple of laps, but she gave it her best. We did end up going back another time before winter was over and she tried again, lasting longer and holding her own a little better…but it all started here :)</div>

Spencer found the one patch of snow that existed and spent a good amount of time poking at it with a stick. Good fun!<br />

Spencer finally got a baby of his own…and yes that does look like original Cabbage Patch Kids packaging…because IT IS. Dated 1984. Long story short, on Christmas of 1984 my cousin Alisha, Hayely and I were all given Cabbage Patch Dolls, and my mom and grandma gave one to each other (they always did think alike). This one managed to be preserved until 2014, when my mom decided to pass it on. I really hesitated to open it, but there was no way I could keep Spencer away from that baby once he realized it was for him.</div>

But the best present of all came last…My Grandpa Tornquist gave every boy a Case tractor as a gift sometime around their second birthday, so my dad carried on the tradition for Spencer. Spencer LOVES Trace's tractor and looked completely stunned that there was a tractor in his house, for him. He had this look on his face for a good 5 minutes.<br />

For the last two years, my mom has given the kids matching Christmas jamies (which they LOVE!) and we have started taking photos of them in them… Because of the popularity of the re-photoshoots floating around the internet (you know, the ones where the adult children dress up in the similar clothes and recreate old family photos…), I told my mom she just gave herself a present that she will should expect to get at Christmas 2043…especially the one with Trace smelling his feet :)</div>

As challenging as it is to try and get small children to smile all at the same time, we have so many laughs and create so many memories.

We were so thankful we were able to host Thanksgiving again this year. Last year our first hosting attempt was so stressful because of the<a href="http://www.travis-margo.blogspot.com/2013/01/happy-thanksgiving.html" target="_blank"> stomach flu</a> that I don't remember most of it. This year, we were eager to host Thanksgiving because we're still in "nap time" stage of life and we are the only ones in the family to still be in this stage since my sister's kids are a bit older…so we are the most difficult members of the family to work around. How do you fix that? Host :)</div>

Thanksgiving went MUCH better this year and I really enjoyed myself~ I hope everyone else did, too. It's always such a wonderful feeling to be surrounded by loved ones. The holidays have so much more meaning to me now that we have so much more to be thankful for. And come on, who wouldn't want to spend a day with these cute children?? Hope you have a wonderful day, too!</div>

This year Adaline wanted to be a princess (surprise, surprise!) and Spencer didn't seem to mind the duck costume Adaline wore a few years ago. We didn't go all out with the princess costume, either. While shopping for one, I discovered you can spend upwards of $30 on just the dress. Um…no thank you :) We found a nice cool one (since it was still in the low 90s outside) and we used a handmade crown passed on to us from my favorite Miss Mary (it's still her favorite one!) This way I didn't feel bad about her wearing it for almost two weeks straight before and after Halloween, as well as to school. Wear it until it falls apart, Adaline! (We're now in December, and she still puts it on at least once a week.)</div>

These beautiful photos were taken by <a href="http://www.lizestudio.com/" target="_blank">Liz Evans</a> at her Customer Appreciation photo shoot this October. I love that she offers this, and I take her up on it every chance I get! I swear she's the children's photographer-whisperer. She captured these and more in just 10 minutes. I try for 30 minutes and get just one okay-ish picture. And that's why she's the professional :)</div>

Adaline's pre-school went on a field trip to the pumpkin patch- which just so happens to be at the end of our street :) Parents were invited to meet at the pumpkin patch so of course I went! We talked about riding the school bus for a good week before the trip...she was so excited, but a little nervous about the whole thing. Thankfully, she was comfortable with the pumpkin patch because we had already been there so many times before. </div>
