Little Tigers

A couple of weeks ago, our church was having a family fun day. The boys got to have their faces painted like anything they wanted. Mason chose a tiger and Archie chose a dog. Well, after Mason got his painted like a tiger, Archie decided that's what he wanted too. After the party, we went on a hike. The boys loved pretending to be tigers in the forest.

Mason dresses himself now. For church he always wants to wear something "handsome." I think he pulls off the look pretty well. :)

Our New Home

In mid-January we made the move up to the Sacramento area. We had been trying to decide for months where the best place to move our family would be. We kept driving up and down the California coast trying to make a decision. My parents had been talking for a while about this area and how beautiful it was. We decided to take a look at it for ourselves and completely fell in love with it! It is so beautiful and green and what you can get for the money is just amazing! So, here we are on our own little 15 acre soon-to-be ranch. :) The boys absolutely love having all of this land to run around on. On the days when it isn't raining, we go out exploring. We have been having so much fun!

Mason loves climbing on the big boulders on our property. Behind him is our little house and a horse arena and barn.

Look at that view out our back door! We found a horseshoe set at a garage sale and it is our new favorite pastime.

Notice the binoculars Mason likes to bring on his explorations. :)
