Christmas

Zach and Megan opening gifts

Zach and Megan tore through the presents in mere seconds. I was sick this year so I literally only took a few pictures. :(

Megan spraying the camera Nicole, Hailey, Lauren and Megan

Annual silly string war with the Harts!

Zach doesn't like the silly string

Zach HATED the silly string – he got sprayed and ran away crying “I’m Messy!!”

Christmas Eve

December 24th, 2009

Zach and Megan with Santa 2

Santa dropped by on Christmas Eve to say hello!

Mickey still reading even with Zach and Megan's distractions 

Grandpa Mickey read “The Night Before Christmas” while taking quite a beating by the grandkids. I would have yelled at them but it was really funny.

 Zach talking with Uncle Adam via Skype

Zach just loved that Uncle Adam was in the computer.

Megan and Zach going to bed in Zach's Room

Megan and Zach went to bed in Zach’s room since Grandma spent the night. They were so excited I was worried they would never sleep. It took awhile but they finally gave up.

Christmas Cookie Baking

December 18th, 2009

Nicole, Hailey, Christy, Mom, Kim and Megan

We all got together to make christmas cookies on the first day of Winter break. Christy, Grandma Linda, Me, Nicole (our neighbor), Hailey, Megan (and Laura who took the picture) decorated like crazy people. Grandma Paula must have missed the picture as I’m sure she was chasing Zach!

Zach loves wearing the chef hat

Zach LOVED wearing the chef hat and was an excellent decorator.

Hailey is a mess

Hailey didn’t want a hat and got her hands messy.

Megan at lots of sprinkles

Megan got the hat stuck in her hair, decorated three cookies and ate all her sprinkles.

Disneyland for Christmas

December 5th, 2009

Yes, another trip to Disneyland. We paid for the passes so we are bound and determined to get value! I’ve never been around Christmas and it was really pretty to see all the decorations.

Zach and Megan with Mickey, Rob and Kim

Grandpa Mickey and Donna joined us for this trip. It was a fantastic trip, happiest place on earth!

Zach and Megan eating lollipops

We might need a 3rd mortgage on the house after paying for these…

I read the weather forecast as 1/2 and inch of rain, I missed the “PER HOUR” on that. No lines but it sure got cold.

PC070053

Rob and Megan on the Dumbo ride, did I mention no lines?

Zach and Megan on the animal train after Zach's Diaper blew

Zach had a diaper blowout and couldn’t wear his pants. As you can tell he was really bothered by it. I’m saving this picture to show his prom date.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Our beautiful family all dressed up! My intention was to send out a holiday card with this picture but since Christmas is next week I’m going to let this blog be my card!

Megan and Zach

Megan and Zach are SO cute!

Megan singing carols

Megan after singing carols with her Daisy Troop

Megan sang christmas carols with her Daisy troop at the library. She wanted to wear her holiday dress with leggings, cowboy boots, her uniform and her reindeer ears. She looked so festive and cute!

HAPPY TURKEY DAY 2009

November 26th, 2009

Beer and Turkey

My favorite carb loaded side dish, BEER of course!

Why am I swimming in November 

After 2 hours of boot camp Linda convinced me a swim in her wetsuit is needed. I am known for my “crazy” ability to swim in cold water but this was even too much for me. I also discovered I DO NOT like wetsuits!

Linda, Mike, Rob, Megan and Kim watching the turkey

Nothing says high class more than a sitting in the front yard watching the turkey fry while drinkin’ beers.  It smelled amazing and tasted the same!

Sedona Hike

November 24th, 2009

Ruins

Gary took us to see some really cool ruins nestled into a mountain in Sedona.

Kim and Rob hiking in the crack

Fun hike yet I wasn’t so sure I was comfortable doing it without a top rope.

Cousins are Home for Halloween

October 31st, 2009

Megan, Lauren and Hailey with their boo bags

Megan is delivering Boo Bags with her cousins Lauren and Hailey who are now living in PHOENIX!

Lauren, Megan and Hailey running away from House #2

The girls had a blast, they were so loud all our neighbors could hear them “sneaking” up to ring the bell.

Megan and Hailey have different decorating ideas

Megan the butterfly and Hailey the devil. Their personalities are a bit different…

Rob, Megan, Zach, Kim, Hailey, Kevin, Lauren, Christy, Linda and Pete are ready to go 2

All the grownups joined in on the fun. We got beer, better than candy.

Disneyland at Halloween Time

October 23rd, 2009

Family picture in front of the Mickey Pumpkin

Disney has the best decorations. The Haunted Mansion was our favorite!

Megan and Kim come around the turn

Megan is officially hooked on coasters. She yells at me to put my arms in the air.

Megan thought she wrecked the car

Megan is a horrible driver, I snapped this picture just as she gave me whiplash, again.
