Week in Review...

Merry Christmas~! Monday was Christmas and Rick got a hat from his parents trip to Alaska!

Rick took Zach out kayaking on Christmas, they had a good time!

I've been sick in bed with the flu all week so Rick got to take care of me and entertain the kids. He took the kids to a brand new park across from the temple in Mesa, it's a gigantic park with huge slides and climbing structures. They loved it! Abby can't wait to go back!

It even has a big train to climb on...

Abby climbed in a big tree....

He even took them out to lunch, what a good daddy! I wish I could've joined them though!

Christmas Eve Carrie and Zach, Austin and Ethan came over to hear the Christmas story and to make a gingerbread house, we had a fun time. Austin loves me, if his mommy isn't around:)

Haley even played the piano for us to sing....

Abby just loves little Austin...

New jammies for Christmas Eve!

Christmas Morning...

Abby loves to look at this pic...

The Paul's also came over for Christmas dinner but we completely forgot to get pics! We had a wonderful Christmas, so grateful that I was health for Christmas! Now, we just need to stay healthy!

Week in Review..

Abby's best friend Lexi comes over to play at least once a week and one time they were watching the Grinch and dancing to the song at the end, so cute!

Last Saturday we took the Paul's on a tour of the river and the lake near our house, here they are in the Wild West...

The kids loved throwing rocks into the water, they thought it was so fun!

Yesterday we took the Paul's to the Scottsdale Train park which is always fun....

Riding the train...

Ethan is so cute...

Jacob loves having another boy to play with...

We got Abby to smile for a pic!! Merry Christmas Eve...

Last week I made toffee for the first time and it turned out!

Rick even approved...

Last Sunday we had Carrie, Ethan and Austin over for dinner (Zach had to work) and Carrie brought cupcakes so we lit one up for Austin's 1st birthday. He loved his cupcake, so cute!!

Abby made this Christmas tree in preschool, so fun!

It's been super cold here so we started up the fire pit...

More pics at the train park...

These are from the Christmas party, Abby freaked out because we wanted a picture. Ugh!!

Such a stinker...

I got called to be the new Primary Secretary today, I'm pretty excited! It's my first primary calling besides being in Activity Days! I think it will help Abby for me to be in the same room and I'll get to see little Ethan start sunbeams in a few weeks. So now I'm the Secretary for our HOA board and the Primary Secretary, I guess I'll get really good at agendas:)
