Well, no complaints here, it is Jan. 2nd and like 70+ degrees outside.  Lil E and his 2nd cousins were out playing at a very crowded park in Carlsbad.  We had to leave early because it seemed that the bees were enjoying the weather too, so once they started to swarm we left.  

I just had to share what the "Sprinkles" cupcakes look like.  Too bad you can't taste them they were really good!  We went to the store in Newport Beach.  Yummy....

Here is Simon.  He thinks he is back up in the mountains around Santa Cruz, where he grew up playing out on the farm in the redwoods.  His old home was so beautiful, I would miss it too.
