We rented a "tag-a-long" for the back of Spencer's bike and let the kids take turns riding on it. They loved it! This is at the covered bridge on the bike trail near our home.

Our whole family--plus cousin Kiana--after a kids' run just before Halloween. It was a mile and the kids ran the whole thing with just a few walking breaks!

We feel so lucky to be one another's best friend. We work so hard to have a relationship that is equal, honest, fun, and trust-filled.

Spencer teaching Milo to skateboard. We love to teach our children. Spencer has had so much fun teaching them to ride bikes, rock climb, and any other adventure they've wanted to try.

Milo and Isabel at cousin Kiana's "rock star" birthday party. They are lucky to have so many great aunts, uncles, and cousins who love to play together!

This was taken after a Sunday barbeque with our extended family at one of the great canyon parks near us.

Camping as a family is one of our favorite activities. Grandma Kim and Grandpa Manuel came with us on this particular adventure.

We love to hike and spent a whole day exploring the mountains near us with some good friends and their kids.

Isabel and Milo blowing out their birthday candles. We love to celebrate and this year we had a "camping" birthday party. We had a bug hunt, a pretend campfire, s'smores, hot dogs, and even an indoor tent!

Milo and Isabel with cousin Kiana at her soccer game. We're an athletic family and we love to cheer each other on as well! Milo and Isabel love their cousins and are lucky to have Kiana live so near to us!

Smiling for Mom after a gymnastics class. Learning and education are so important to our family. We do our best to provide our children with the opportunity to learn about music, art, science, sports and gymnastics/dance!

Our sweet little guy!

Our fiery little girl!

Isabel, Spencer and Milo holding a baby duck at Grandpa's farm. We are animal lovers and spend so much time at the zoo, the petting zoo, and (when we visit Utah) Grandpa's Farm.

Fishing with Mom in the canyon near our home. We live in such a beautiful area. There are mountains, canyons, lakes, and rivers so near us. It makes for tons of outdoor adventures and fun day trips!

Isabel and Milo checking out the ocean with Spencer. This was on one of our funnest family trips--San Diego and La Jolla.

Milo and Isabel with Erin after a race. We are athletic and feel that it is so important for our kids to have the opportunity to be active too. We love to support one another in rock climbing and running!

Spencer and Isabel at a family wedding in August 08. Spencer is such a loving and amazing dad--this picture captures so much of that!

One of our greatest family adventures this year was a trip to San Diego. We visited the zoo, the beach, Balboa Park, and tons on other fun places. We learned so much and had so much fun just exploring together!

Isabel and Milo after a bike ride. We love to ride our bikes to the library, the parks, the grocery store, and the splash fountain. Isabel and Milo love to ride their own bikes or--better yet--hitch a ride in the bike trailer behind Mom!

We love to do anything active and outdoors. Snowshoeing is a favorite winter activity.

Milo and Isabel having a "hot chocolate party" with some of their friends. We have such a fun backyard with plenty of trees, grass, and toys.
