Where All the Magic Began...

Magical...
Best word to describe our trip to Disneyland.  Mimi and Papa gave us the BEST gift of tickets for a
3-day pass to Disney.
We took one of Chris's days off over Christmas and spent the entire day from sun up to sun down at the Happiest Place on Earth. 
 
And we were all super happy as you can see!  And a little silly too.
The kiddos are counting down the days to return with Mimi and Papa this March.

Happy 2013

A new year and a fresh start.  I like the sound of that.  2012 brought so many wonderful things for our family, but it is always fun to start fresh and see what God has in store for us. 
 
One thing I know for sure is that the next year will bring ups and downs, peaks and valleys, but through it all I can always, ALWAYS see God's faithfulness.
He never leaves or forsakes us. 
 
2013 is going to be a tough/strength building year for our little family.  A long, long deployment is headed our way and I don't look forward to it one bit.  When it is all said and done, Chris will be gone about 11 months this go around.  Yuck.  He sacrifices so much to serve and defend.  So many do.  As much as I hate him being away, I am so very proud of who he is and what he does for our country and family.  So, I will put on my big girl pants and press on.  And press in to the One who can get our family through this separation. My Jesus.

So until he goes, I am going to try and make the most of every moment and second that we have Chris here with us.  Not that it will be a lot of time, but we are going to truly live in the moment. 
Happy New Year to all!
 

Holiday Hike

Since Chris has some time off  block leave over Christmas, we have been living it up trying to squeeze in as much family time as possible. 
 
We took a hike out at the Daley Ranch on a gorgeous day here in CA.
 












Happy Birthday, Jesus

Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!  I know we sure did.
