What we do when it rains

Not that it happens often here in Phoenix,

We had planned to spend some time at the park Monday but the weather didn't allow us to do that. So instead of having sad kids we had a picnic inside. The kids had fun and I think that it saved the day.

At least until the I heard the toilet flush and heard oh-oh and the sound of water hitting the tile.

Christmas

We had such a great time this Christmas. We were so spoiled by my parents and by Santa, and Lori and Ryan, and I was spoiled by my sweet husband. We enjoyed all the time that was spent and made some great memories.

We got to do a lot of the things that we wanted to do and some that we didn't want (being sick). But we loved the snow, got to play a lot of games, and found out that my Grandma S. knew how to play Rook, and we had lots of fun New Years Eve. We tasted 5 Guys Burgers...super yummy loved it, and enjoyed Chinese Food on Christmas Eve. I loved every minute of the cold and snow I wish we could have had more snow but was grateful for the moments of snow that we got.

I should have taken a picture of us shoved in our van on the trip home....we literally didn't have any room for anything else. I have never seen such a good packing job to be able to get almost all of our treasures home. It made for an uncomfortable ride but we got our goods home after a 2 week vacation.

Candy Cane Cookies

We decided to make cookies for Kylie's preschool treat tomorrow. The kids had a lot of fun rolling the dough and trying to shape the cookies in a candy cane. I think Tanner did the best but Kylie had a fun time trying. And Paige well just look at the pictures. She kept trying to sneak a few bites...but she did have a good time playing with the dough.

And of course we had to get a picture of this little cute guy. He is doing so well and getting so big. He talks so much, and of course will laugh if I tickle him (he laughed out loud for the 1st time on Thanksgiving). He is so much fun!

Tanner ice skating

It's about time

Kylie's field trip to Basha's Supermarket. She had a great time, I didn't get more pictures Paige was hanging on my leg the whole time! My two cute boys, Tanner was helping me hold the baby so we could get ready for his game. He sure loves Cameron, and I think the feeling is mutual. Tanner's last soccer game was so fun. He was able to play against a lot of his friends. Tanner had an awesome goal, he stole the ball and dribbled up the field and shot and scored. He did so well this season and had a great time. Paige has a new favorite outfit.Thanksgiving was super fun we surprised family and showed up a couple hours before dinner. Jason's parents were truly surprised. We had a great time visiting showing off Cameron, and the kids had so much fun playing with the Headrick cousins.
With so much family in town we were able to bless Cameron. This is the first time that we were able to have both sets of grandpa's in the circle. It was so amazing to see so many loved ones together at one time. We missed all those who weren't able to be there!

These are just a few pictures of Cameron smiling at my dad, Jason and his 10 pieces of bubble gum balls, and just a picture to document how chunky our little man is.
