It's a New Year!

Man, I am slacking. I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted on here! We had an awesome Christmas and a relaxing new year's. Christmas Eve we went on a hike up Rocky Peak Trail here in Simi. We had amazing views at the saddle which is where we stopped and turned around. Tom says it's about 5 miles round trip. It was more of a climb than I expected which meant I was tired and cranky, but when we got to the top and got this amazing view, it made it more than worth it.

After the hike we spent Christmas Eve with my dad and stepmom and her family out in Santa Clarita. It was more low-key than past years, but it was really nice. Christmas morning we opened gifts at our place before heading to La Cresceta to have lunch with Tom's Grandparents. After that we headed over to Burbank to have dinner with his other grandparents. It sounds like a lot, but actually was very relaxing.

All these new toys and he goes back to his giraffe!

I can't believe the munchkin is already 6 months old! It's true what everybody warned me about, it goes by way too fast! Here's our sweetie in his monthly photo shoot. :)

Loves feeding himself :)

We're heading to AZ on Thursday for my Mom's 50th birthday party! I'm so excited to see them again as well as the rest of my family. Tomorrow is my Mom's and Tom's birthday and Thursday is actually Kari's birthday! It's a very exciting week for our family. :)

Hike at Mishe Mokwa Trail

We went on a hike over the weekend on the Mishe Mokwa trail, near Malibu. It was so beautiful and definitely worth the drive up the windy canyon (which made me sick). We hiked to Split Rock and back so it was about 4 miles roundtrip. Jack got really tired and couldn't fall asleep in the backpack, so Tom ended up carrying him so he could snuggle and sleep.

UPDATE: My step-dad is back at home and has an appt with a cardiologist on Wednesday. They still don't know what happened to him.
