We miss our daddy!!

The boys and I left Ryan in Arizona, so he could study and take his finals without our distractions. (What you can't study with the boys climbing all over you? Just kidding!) Good luck. Study hard. WE LOVE YOU & MISS YOU!!!

Thomas on the airplane

No... I am not kidding. This is what Thomas insisted on wearing on the plane ride up to Utah!! At least we brought a smile to EVERYONE who saw us.

"Let it snow!"

We are having so much fun in the snow, although definitely missing the Arizona sun. Thomas is the happiest riding on the four wheeler with papa!





Trying to keep Nate warm! He has a big blue snow suit, but he thinks it's torture whenever I try to put him in it.

One, Two, JUMP...hey, what happened to Three?

Thomas could do this for hours!!

Thanksgiving

It was so much fun having my family down for Thanksgiving. The boys loved having grandma and grandpa around and playing with "Dado" and "Daner".






Thomas discovered this year that he really likes pumpkin pie..maybe a little too much!

Train Park

The "train park" is one of Thomas' favorite places in Arizona. Although, you woudln't be able to see that by the pictures. Thomas thinks it is so funny to run away from the camera just as I am trying to capture the cutest shot. At least Nathan still complies!







I would love to figure out how to do slide shows. If you know how, please let me know.

"Do you want to hold my ax?"

This picture is a little dark, but it's of a fire fighter helping Thomas hold his giant ax!! For a short time Thomas took a break from cowboys and was obsessed with being a fireman. So, one day I was really brave and went and knocked on the door of the fire station. The fire fighters were so happy to have "visitors". They took turns showing us around and letting Thomas try on their gear and sit in the truck. To say that Thomas was in his glory would be an understatement. He took everything so serious, like he was one of the guys.

Halloween

Nathan was a little pumpkin for his first Halloween. Although, the costume didn't last long!
No surprise, Thomas was a cowboy!

We went to so many fun activities around Halloween that on the 31st we just stayed home and let Thomas hand out candy to trick or treaters. I love this picture. Thomas' best friend here in Arizona is Jack. They are the best of buds. I thought it was perfect that Jack was Buzz lightyear for Halloween. We didn't even plan it and the two of them looked so cute together as Buzz and Woody!

Thomas & Nate before going to the pool

"Nater Bug"

Nate is the happiest baby! He is such a joy. Nate smiles at everyone and is so easy to laugh. I often think that I don't know what I would do, if he wasn't such a good baby. We love our "Nater Bug!"

"I want to be a cowboy!"

"I want to be a cowboy!" This is what Thomas says to me each morning as soon as he wakes up. He wears his boots and hat everywhere we go. I'm sure that he is fast becoming famous in Glendale for his attire!
