New Years Day at the Phoenix Zoo

We celebrated the first day of 2010 with a trip to the zoo. Grandma Maggie gave Kendall a zoo membership for her birthday. Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie and Uncle Jeff all joined us and we enjoyed a beautiful, sunny first day of the new year! Kendall's favorite animal it seems is a tiger!

New Years Eve!

We celebrated the last day of 2009 with a hike in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. Bonnie and Bernie are on vacation from Denver and we had a great day with them! Happy 2010 everyone!!

Merry Christmas 2009

We wish everyone a belated Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

Christmas Eve Cookies!

We made sugar and gingerbread cookies on Christmas Eve day.

The boys loved rolled the dough and cutting out the shapes. Kendall supervised.

The cookies were delicious!

Celebrating Kendall's Second Birthday in Flagstaff

We went to Flagstaff, AZ on Kendall's 2nd birthday. We went sledding and had to leave early due to a blizzard. Kendall did not like the snow. She cried and cried and cried. She was a very miserable little girl! I took her back to the car and out of the snow gear and she was once again happy! The boys loved sledding and didn't want to stop. The next day we cut down our Christmas tree near Stonewall Lake.

ASU V. UC Santa Barbara

On 12/21/09, Blake's basketball team played a scrimmage game during the ASU/UC Santa Barbara halftime. They played on the court for 6 minutes and Blake's team won by 2 points. The highlight of the night was meeting Derek Glasser after the game. He shook the kids hands and signed autographs for them. Blake told us he was never washing the hand that Glasser shook! Don't worry it was washed later that night!

Kendall's Elmo Party!

We celebrated Kendall's 2nd birthday with an Elmo themed party on December 19th. She invited some friends from her playgroup as well as our family. Gary made her Elmo cake and we had orange and red balloons and Elmo decor. It was a beautiful and sunny day so we opened presents and had cake outside. Kendall enjoyed her 2nd birthday party!
