February

The only two big events that I missed blogging about in February...besides finding out we were pregnant...was our trip to Long Beach, California and Hunter's 14th Birthday.

.

We travelled to Long Beach for our annual Chick fil A Seminar...all expenses paid by corporate! :) It is a really neat experience. Every year it is a different location, and for a week they have different speakers and events planned for all of the owner/operators in the US. This year I got to meet Kirk Cameron (he was one of the guests....soooo petite in person!!) and Dave Ramsey. I have never heard him speak before...I thought it was going to be boring since it was about money and saving, but he is absolutely hilarious!! I really enjoyed him. The bad thing was on both occasions that I met them I didn't have my camera. It is a pretty big/heavy thing to lug around when you are 6wks pregnant and feeling like crap!

This was the only picture Jamie and I took together the whole trip. We were heading in to hear a symphony that Chick set up just for our group! It was so neat!!

We also got to rent a car and drive around Hollywood, LA, and even drove down Rodeo Drive. We stopped and ate at the famous Pinks Hot Dogs. I didn't eat much of mine since hot dogs don't really sound good when you are pregnant...but from what I tasted it was good. And boy was there a long line!!
I can't believe Hunter is now 14!! It blows my mind that I have a step son that will be starting High School shortly! He sure is growing and taking after his Dad. He is 5'10 or taller now, wearing a 34x34 pant and a wait for it...a mens size 12 shoe! Holey Moley! Makes it kinda hard to repremand him when he is so much bigger than you at only 14!

He celebrated his birthday out at the ranch with a slumber party with a few of his friends, and then the Harris families coming out the next day for activities, cookout, and cake.

Ava LOVES riding on the 4-wheelers when we are out there! LOVES it!!
