President's Weekend In Mammoth

Dear Diary,
This year's forecast for snow in Mammoth was good.  Josette was ready to go!  The 3 little ones took a lesson then hit the slopes.  Jeff helped each one with their skill and technique.  Even though I'm not a skier, I enjoy seeing their smiles as they slide down the mountain concentrating on their path.  This year we went with Ginny & Gene and the Brusseau's.  We stayed at Mountain Back and also fit in a day of sledding and snowman making.  I got sick toward the end of our trip but that didn't stop us from having a romantic Valentines dinner in Convict Lake.  Good times with family and friends!

Love Day Recap

Dear Diary,
Who cares about Valentines Day anyway?  I do!  Yes, expectations can be high to pick the right gift or make some amazing romantic plans, but I think it's just a nice day to do something special for the ones you love.  I love my husband Jeff and I love my 4 sweet children.  This year we took our kids and cousins to the cove for a little surf then had lunch at the park.  Later we invited my in laws Ginny and Gene to join us for dinner at Avenue Italy.  Jeff brought home flowers for me and the girls and we all exchanged cards and candy.  It was the perfect day!  It doesn't have to be well thought out, expensive or extravagant.  As long as you're with the ones you love, Valentines Day can be perfect and mine was!
