Fun in the Sun

Nate with Mojo on one of the trails.


Me and the kids after we got home

Today we went to this new park in South Chandler with Pappa Lake, Unlce Greg, Aunt Chelsea and cousins Abby and Maggie. I wasnt able to get a good picture of any of the kids. They were too busy running around enjoying the scenery. It was so cute the kids picked some flowers and ran up and down the trails together. The trails that we walked on were around a few man made lakes. The kids really enjoyed it; they got tired pretty quickly. It was a beautiful day out! Almost hot actually... I am so glad that we can get out with the kids and do this kind of stuff. YAY for Nates vacation :)

Playing at the Park

The kids and I went to the park the other day and had a great time! The weather has been so beautiful here. It truly does not feel like January!! Its why we live in AZ right? Brayden was being a little camera shy, I could only get a couple shots of him. They are growing up so fast.

Update

I have been bad about updating this for the last few weeks. Truth be told, I havent taken any pictures to post on here. I was trying to post this really cute video that I took of Nate and the kids during storytime before bed, but I was having the hardest time...?

Anyway, the kids are doing GREAT! Brayden is becoming such a smart little boy. He will read along with many of the books we read each night. His favorite is "Chugga Chugga Choo Choo." I have been watching a few boys a couple days a week, and he is having so much fun with them! He is always asking me when his friends are going to come over.

Brooke is getting to be so big! She is catching up with Brayden in height! I think she is going to be a tall girl!! Volleyball? Basketball? I dont know! :) She is finally starting to get more brave with words.... Still not talking like I wish she would be, but I guess it takes time.

Nathan is working hard as usual to support us. He has been doing so well. This past weekend was a 4 day weekend for us, so that was nice! Unfortunatley I was sick for most of it, but being the great hubby he is, he took good care of me :)

Not much else going on with us... we are trying to plan a trip to San Diego here in a couple weeks :) We want to take advantage of a 3 day weekend Nate is going to have, plus we think the kids will really enjoy Sea World! I have never been, so I am pretty excited!

Happy New Year!

I cannot believe that it is 2009 already! Time sure flies the older you get it seems. 2008 was a pretty good year for us. Nothing too exciting to note, but we are grateful for everything that we have been blessed with and the chance to be together. The kids went down last night around 8 and we had a few friends over to help us ring in the new year. We watched a few movies and played the game "Catch Phrase" (which by the way is one of my favorite games :)) Its so funny to see how people think by how they try and describe these words. Well, a little after midnight the kids both decided to wake up again! We watched a movie in their room and finally they went back to bed. All in all it was a nice, low key, relaxed new years eve. Just the way I like it! I hope that the new year will bring our family and friends much happiness!! Love you all!
