Just a bunch of stuff...

I am just going to post a bunch of pictures from the things we have been doing lately... I don't really feel like writing a whole bunch, but in case there are some of you out there who are acutally curious about what the Biondo's have been up to and you AREN'T on Facebook I thought I would post some stuff!! =)

We went to Big Bear for Memorial Day weekend with 8 adults and 6 kids! And we had a blast!

Snow @ Big Bear

We took the kids and spent the Valentine/Holiday weekend up at Big Bear. We went up Saturday morning and as we arrived at the cabin we realized that the snow was so deep we couldn't park in the driveway! We had to get back in the car and head over to the hardware store to buy a snow shovel so Anthony could dig out a parking space! There was a lot of snow!! It was a beautiful weekend up there... snow everywhere and the sun was out. We spend most of our day outside in the yard playing in the snow. Aidan loved it so much we finally came in to get warm and left him to play with the dog.

Potty Traning!

I just saw that Tami beat me to the Potty Traning post! Good job Khloe! Tami and I potty trained our kids the same week I think. Anyway, 2 weeks ago I was changing Alec's morning diaper and I decided to just put underwear on him. He, of course, had several accidents that day but by the next day we were getting the hang of it a bit more and by day four he wasn't having any accidents! DONE! Or so we thought... he did have a couple of number 2 setbacks the next week (SOOO NOT fun) but they were also resolved by the end of the week and now he is fully potty tranined! No more diapers!! I can't believe it! Of course I now have two kids wearing pull-ups at night and not entirely sure how to get over that hump... but I can deal with that. Way to go ALEC! We are so proud.

The End of 2008

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and are looking forward to the new year! We had a busy and fun holiday season here! We are also really looking forward to what the Lord has in store for us in 2009... we know it is going to be big and exciting! So stayed tune! I know I haven't been keeping up with the blog very regularly but I am trying to make up for it by doing a bunch of posts when I do get around to sitting down and writing... well, mostly posting pictures, not so much writing! So today I did 8 posts! So scroll down and start from the beginning or start here and make your way backwards! I hope you enjoy seeing what we have been up to!

Snow Play at Palomar Mtn.

December 28th we took a drive up to Palomar mountain to check out the snow. It isn't the easiest place to just go and stop... there are people pulled over all over the place and it is kind of hard to find a good spot... but we managed to stop and get out for a little while. The snow was mostly hard and slippery which was good when we found a plastic lid someone had left behind and put the kids on it pushed them down the hill! They thought it was great as long as we carried them up and down the hill and they didn't have to climb themselves. It was a beautiful day and not that cold. We were all pretty wet when we left and hungry so we drove down the other side of the mountain and went to the Lake Henshaw Cafe for lunch and had sandwiches. It was definitely a nice family day together.
