6 Years Old!

Austin turned six today! I am amazed at how fast the time has gone by!
Austin at age 6 is:
Very social
Always talking or singing
Caring towards others
Curious about everything
Learning to read
Expressing himself through his artwork
Always making plans
Loves to do experiments
Getting more like his daddy everyday
Very determined (and stubborn!)
Here are a couple of pics from his party yesterday. The next phase of his birthday will be his trip to Disneyland in just a couple of weeks. I think I am just as excited as he is!

Spending Time with Oma & Papa

We enjoyed several days with Oma & Papa. We went down to the wharf for lunch and to see the sea lions, our local Covered Bridge park, a little bit of antiquing and a trip to the Sylvan Music store (full of so many beautiful instruments!)

Christmas Day

We had a beautiful Christmas day, the first in our new home. Nessa and Laith came down for the day and mom & dad stayed for several days. It was great to get to share our Christmas with them! The boys had a blast and are enjoying all their new toys. I personally can't wait until the batteries die on some of them!

The boys in their matching camo pants and with their new nativity set.

Love this pic of my baby sis, taken by her hubby, Laith.

Merry Christmas!

Dearest Family and Friends,
I will not able to send out Christmas cards this year. I regret not being able to personally send out our holiday wishes to each of you individually. I hope you know that we love all of you so much and are so grateful for your love and support, the happiness that you add to our lives. May your holiday season be filled with love, laughter and warmth.
Love,
Bryce, Sarah, Austin and Danny

Natural Bridges

The Boys and I went to Natural Bridges today to see the monarch butterflies. The weather was perfect and they were flying all over the place. Even Danny was impressed by them. After we went down to the beach so the boys could run, scream and play in the sand. Danny thought it was hilarious to throw sand at me. I now have probably a cup of sand down the front of my shirt! There was also a negative tide so we got to walk out behind the arch to see the sea stars and sea anemones. The pics are from my phone so they may not be the best quality.
