All seated and ready to go. The seats swivel so we can face each other or the front.

Loving mom.

We saw this bird. He looks half turkey half duck. I've never seen anything like that before.

Her turn to row.

Handsome guy.

Pretty girl.

Making Valentine's treats.I asked the kids what kind of Valentine's desserts they wanted to make. Kyler said he wanted to do rice crispy treats and Lexi agreed. So we added red and pink sprinkles and cut them into heart shapes. They loved them!

We decided to take a hike. The waterfall.

It was so misty, beautiful!

Dad and the kids.

Nearly 4 miles of hiking.

The kids and I. I was exhausted and nauseous, but we made it all the way through.

Mushrooms growing off of a fallen tree.

Today we decided to go to the beach. It was a gorgeous 60 degree day.

Seal Rock.

Jared checking out the rocks.

See all of the sea urchins? Jared caught a rock fish in here. I love how much life you find here.

Can you see the little crab? Jared caught him in a tide pool.

Kyler playing football.
Standing in the waves. They had such a blast! It was nice to sit and relax in the warm sun and watch the kids play.
Sooo...we are having a baby! Due in October.

We are thrilled. The kids are so anxious and excited. They fight over who gets to share their room with the baby (as I expected the fighting to go the other way). They are constantly hugging and loving my belly. It's wonderful to see them so happy. March 30th we will have our first ultrasound, we can hardly wait.

and now...on to March!
