Ice Skating

We were invited to a birthday party at the ice rink. Hayden and Ian were both really excited to ice skate for the first time. They had these home depot buckets for the kids to lean on to keep their balance. It worked out really well since I myself had never been on the ice before. I was afraid both of them would pull me down. The buckets were really helpful, no falling down.

Christmas Memories 2009

Our favorite time of the year is Christmas. I love decorating the house and shopping for everyone. This month we had some seriously low temps and a little snow. It is such a magical time when you have children in the house trying to wait up for Santa. Christmas brings back so many great childhood memories for me and my goal is make this Christmas the best day. Every year, I try to make new memories for my boys so they can remember Christmas as the best day of the year. Watching their faces gleam from excitement when they open their gifts is priceless. Sitting on Santa's lap.Making our gingerbread train was so much fun!

Thanksgiving 2009

We had a great Thanksgiving dinner and watched Charlie Brown Thanksgiving. We are very simple and it is the little things that make us happy. I am so grateful to have such a loving husband and two great kids. We love spending moments like today.

Family Feast Night at Ian's Preschool

We went to Ian's preschool for Family Feast Night. Ian decorated his vest and headdress to look like an Indian. The kids sang songs like 10 Little Indians and The Turkey and the Straw. We then sat down for a Turkey dinner with his entire class. Ian has changed so much since last year. He is more confident and outgoing. He went up to his friends and just started talking to them. I am so proud of my boy!

Trick or Treat

We had a great time tonight. We went to our good friends house; the Zamora's. They had a Halloween party and we went trick or treating in the neighborhood. The boys had a great time playing with all the kids. Hayden and Ian both decided to be "Darth Vader". Here are few pictures from our night out.

Snow Day

It was a cold day today with a high of 32 degrees. Even though it was cold, we had to go outside and enjoy the snow. The boys had a snowball fight and made snow angels. I cannot wait until we go up to the mountains for some snowboarding.Hayden is so proud of his first snowboard.After all it is still October.

The Wishing Star Farm

We went to our favorite farm to pick some pumpkins and have a little fun. The boys loved petting the animals, duck race, going on the little choo choo, going down the largest hill slide, playing on tractor tires and climbing up the haystack. They were so dirty and loved every minute of it.Camel love
