Hiking in Pictures

Yesterday we headed down for some major hiking in Tucson to celebrate my cousin's birthday. We were watching some friend's kids so we brought them with us. It was fun and exhausting and there weren't many major melt downs.

I love Cara's hair in the picture above. She was mid jump.

Everyone was very interested in uncle Bob and looking at his pictures.

Cara had a lot of the hike in style- on my back.

And finally the real reason we went hiking. To spend time with my aunt, uncle and cousin. It was a great day and we celebrated by having root beer floats after. Delicious.

Thanks for a great day!!

Worth 1000 Words

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I say this picture describes Rich to a tee.

Do you know what he is celebrating?

We won a game of tic-tac-toe with a 9 year old.

Oh, to be a child again.

Wait... he isn't... he is... RICH!

Problem Solver

My little problem solver. I love her.

Hazel

I need her.

When is the next 3 day weekend?

I think I need my hair done then.

Maybe for my birthday? A trip to Utah to love on my baby girl niece Hazel.

Busy Girls

2 year olds are extremely busy.

Within about 30 seconds I snapped these pictures of Cara:

Oh my.

Cute Ryann is showing off her horse dress from Auntie Ashley.

Thanks Auntie!

We love you!

Yellow Bathroom

Wow, this new camera thing is taking a lot longer than I expected to figure out. And mine isn't even a fancy pants one... here are my cute girls in the bathroom.

The very YELLOW bathroom.

Wait a minute... what happened? Oh, the flash! Seriously? Yup. Look, my bathroom looks nice and white and clean.

Cara's face is another matter. This chocolate covered mess of a face is why we got in the bathtub to begin with.

New Camera, New Year

So I am testing out my new camera that I got from Santa (black Friday special) and I know there are a lot of kinks I am going to have to work out. Fortunately Ryann is more than willing to pose for pictures.

Yes we ended December with a bang- we went swimming!!

Ignore the messy house. I promise that it is clean now.
