. Cherry Blossoms & Tangerines

We went to the Cherry Blossom Festival and then on to pick tangerines today. The cherry blossoms aren't in full bloom yet so, we didn't get to see too many. We went to pick tangerines afterwards and Bryce had a good time pulling them off of the trees. I think he enjoyed it more when the would roll down the hill after he dropped them. Some of the Japanese ladies that were there gave him some of their tangerines to fill his bucket with. You can eat the tangerines as you're picking them so, we were all enjoying that.

Little boy

Bryce got a haircut this week. When his hair started to get into his eyes, daddy decided it was time to take him in. Now with his short hair, he doesn't look like a baby anymore, he looks like a little boy.

Which state will it be....????

Well, I jinxed ourselves in our Christmas letter when I said we were hoping to end up in either Washington State or Idaho. Niether of those states were on the list of choices that came out this week. We'll find out where we're going on the 16th of February. So, which state will it be....????

Family Pics

Since I've been bad and haven't taken any new pics lately, I thought I would post some of the pictures from our family photos that we had taken. For our first family photo, I was expecting a "Hallmark" moment and for Bryce to be the perfect little angel. Instead, he was the typical 1 year old and had his sights set on playing in the water & sand. So, we started out in the beach in one outfit, after he fell in the water, we ended up on land in another outfit and by the end of our photo session, we gave in and just let him play in the water like he had been wanting to do all day...
