Eric caught Bodie catching some big air in McCall.
Why is Bodie shirtless? We'll have to ask Steve! Obviously McCall was fun for the men as well.
Nanny Bates comes for dinner and mommy actually makes it into a photo! These baby may never know they had a mom if it weren't for these rare moments! Ok, not really but it does seem more difficult to get a photo when you are always holding someone! Not complaining at all!
The icicles on the McCall rental house. They were literally 8"+ tall!!! It was so snow covered and beautiful. The Oregon crew really knows when to vacation in Idaho!
What fun! We were super blessed when Todd and Jerianna Mobley decided an Idaho trip was in their near future. The family loaded up and came over the second weekend of March bringing Evan, Gretta, and Abby for some more Idaho fun. The weekend was so much fun and between the snow and dirt I think everyone had something that they enjoyed. Gretta is the next Picasso for sure and when Abby crawled into bed with me at 3 am I knew that kid was trying to run away with my heart! Even and Big Bodie had some pretty special "Man" time riding and Todd shredded the local Trinity mountains on snowmobile with Bodie. The weekend was so beautiful and I can safely say that even though Jerianna and I didn't do much along the lines of physical activity, we sure had a good time. We LOVE to have people come visit and stay and it's even better when you just adore your company.
As many of our close friends her in Idaho know we have become very good friends with a group of surf church riding, party havin', Food lovin', family friendly, lovin' their kids, kind of good timers from Oregon. Well, for the last 3 years we have rented a cabin McCall together to celebrate some fresh powder together via snowmobiles. It has proved to be a GREAT time every year and I look forward to it every year. The food, wine, winter sports, and laughs seem to be never ending. We have grown to love each family and are forever grateful to crazy Sam Caruso for waving us down one sunny Sunday afternoon on the sandy shores of Tierra Del Mar. Now if I could just take more pics for once! :)
The babies continued to make great strides throughout the month of February. Bodie finally rolled over while Annelise was content to watch. Annelise decided that strangers were very scary but she would try her best to get to know them. They change so much every day and do so many new things that it's hard to write it all down. Bath time is ALWAYS a very calming and peaceful hour while the babies discover water and the simple ability to splash! Needless to say I often get soaked but it's always well worth the dry clothes. Both babies were in the 12 lb. area so we were very happy about that. Growing and getting big day by day. I hope it slows down so I can remember every detail!
Take note of the dirtbike T-shirt. Yes, Daddy did the shopping and annelise has a collection of her own. Daddy will have them out on bikes as soon as they can touch the ground!
