Leah took Joshua and Tabitha out with her to do the chicken chores this AM... they were SO excited to go with her~ but even more to get back inside! They, of course, wanted hot chocolate!

January 31st!

On the way home from working in Del Norte today... I saw some great old buildings and views. I only stopped to take a picture of a few because driving over the pass I always get behind these slow/dangerous trucks.

Casa Bonita Annual Trek

The kids with their cousins~ AJ and Tori!

Sarah's 8th Birthday is today!!!

Joshua couldn't wait to give Sarah her balloon that he had bought her for her present. Present-giving happened in the morning!!

OUR NEWEST TRADITION FOR 2012... doing random (for others anyway) acts of kindness for however many years you are...

We started out at Safeway...

Hiding just the right amount of money on the back of a cake box.

Dollar Store... here we come to hide a $1.00 on the back of a toy!

We picked up ... and put away... grocery carts in the Safeway parking lot. It was a windy day... so it was hard!

Money on the coke machine in the Wal-mart!

Cookies for our neighbors!

Cookies for the Recycle place workers!

More cookies to the Fire Station!



Picking up trash on Ladonia Court! Whew... was it cold and windy!



An evening of a favorite meal and girl-y cake!


Happy Birthday Dear Sarah!!!
