Men in Snow.


Hi Guys!  I am back!

We spent the holiday in Big Bear, CA at a cabin with family.  It was awesome.  



Yes, that's a mohawk.  He gets to grow it until school goes back...cutie.




My dad got The Boy and himself these dart guns... so much fun!

We had an awesome Christmas Dinner, with crowns and all!  

Me and my princes....

My cousin Suzanne and her man, Sean...


The ski slopes were packed, so we opted for sledding.  In true So Cal fashion, it was $25 per person to enter the slope area, BUT they had a motorized walk way up the hill, so as not to exert yourself!

Here are a few pics of our holiday fun....


I love this picture of my cousin, Stephanie!  
Man, my husband makes me happy....


Have a fabulous New Year!

Please allow me to ask a dumb question (this is where you say, "there are no dumb questions, Lisa..."):

I have seen so many Christmas blog pictures with paper crowns, and I have never seen or heard of this tradition before. Please explain the significance! Have I been living under a rock? Does every other family in the world do this? What gives?

What great pictures! A few minutes from me, they have created "Snow Mountain" for the kids to sled. We might have to actually pay the exhorbitant fee and go...cause it's so unlikely that we'll actually have any snow...

Don't you love California living? Snow, mountains, valleys, and beach all withing hours.

Oh the mohawk!?! What an awesome Mama you are! He does look cute - a nice picture of boy-meets-man with the mohawk and snuggling the stuffed animal. Priceless.

Glad you had a nice getaway, and are home safe and sound.

The neigbors big boys tried to sled on my not growing green grass down our little mini hill with Soren's little tikes car and his booby car on Christmas Day.

Great photo's!

Mohawks, will they ever go out of style?

I dated a man in the 80's that was a mortician and had a Mohawk. not saying anymore on that subject.

Have a wonderful New Year!

How fun!

Sometimes we go to Idylwild to go sledding around this time of year.

How come he has to get rid of his mohawk before school? Is it the teacher? Mini D's teacher doesn't care but he has a little friend that goes to another school in our city and the principal has a policy about them. Whatev's.

Wonderful Pictures Tiffany! I should nag my husband to bring us up the mountain this year so we can enjoy the snow and the tubing! Those crowns reminds me of an Australian Tradition during Christmas. Is that why you were all wearing it? Lest I forget, Happy New Year to you and your family.

Now that I'm spending so much time consorting with the Cali set, I have heard a lot about this mythical snowy place called "Big Bear". How do they keep any snow there with so many people playing in it ;)?!

Glad you had a good time. You look great! And what a cool mom to let the boy have a christmas break mohawk :)!

All the best in 2009 to you!!!

Looks like so much fun! We spent a week in the snow, but we drove to Utah to do it. Mt. Baldy is just up the hill from my house. You should have seen the hoards of cars heading to the snow!

My Big News and a $100.

Image
It just dawned on me that I have had some super exciting news that I haven't officially shared! You all know how I feel about the importance of optimism and resiliency in the successes I've had in my life and how important it is to pass those on to my son. Did you know my company is named "Bright Future Managment"? Doesn't get more optimistic than that! A few months ago, I was contacted by a PR firm representing Pepperidge Farm. They were interested in interviewing me for a faculty position for Fishful Thinking , an initiative that offers parents tools for fostering optimism in kids. Now, as the director of one of LA's largest and oldest private summer camps, I get contacted to participate in all kinds of things for kids... usually, I pass, as I want to spend all my free time with my boys. But in this case, the message and the presentation was so incredible, I jumped at the chance and agreed to the interview. Within the first 5 minutes of the interview I wa...

OB...No, not another tampon post.

I 'd like to start by proclaiming that I am in madly in love with my husband. In no way does this moment of "gyno-attraction" diminish his hotness and my love for said hotness. Having said that, let's begin. So I feel pretty safe in saying my OB is hotter than your OB. Okay, make that "was", because when we left LA for St. George, I had to leave his glorious, silver, stirrups. But he is worth a post. Trust me on this . Let's start with our first (and only) encounter. It was my 6 week follow up after having The Boy. My regular OB was out of town, so they assigned me to Dr. McHottie. I walked into the room with no idea of what was to come. I got undressed (from the waist down of course) and stuck my feet in the stirrups. Then he walked in. A cross between Jake Gyllenhall and Channing Tatum. In scrubs. G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. I got all kinds of flustered and the conversation went something like this. McHottie : "Hello Mrs. R." (Cleverly remin...
