Its a Boy!!!... Yeah!!!

Thanksgiving

We hosted Thanksgiving

at our new house. We had

friends that are like us and

have no family here in town.

I was nervous about it, but

then Mark volunteered to

bring the turkey, so that

took off all the pressure!

All I had to do was have a

great table..

The only pic we

could get of all of us..not bad

Santa's helpers left the

girls a surprise.

The Phoenix Zoo

We hadn't visited the zoo

here in PHX, so we took

an afternoon and saw

all our favorite animals.

biggest turtle...ever!
Madison got to feed
the giraffes. McKinzi just
stood back and watched.

We took the girls to lunch at Oregano's

and to the train park.

Halloween '09

We had such a great time with

the girls this year for Halloween.

They got the "trick or treat"

down pretty good and came

home with a full bags of candy

and big smiles!!

Pumpkin Patch

We are lucky enough to have Morgan

visit us every October. We kick off the

Halloween festivities with the

Pumpkin Patch.

It's official... we have a pool!

Living here for almost 4 years now.

I didn't believe people when they

said "you have to have a pool"

They were right, after 3 long

summer's with no pool.

You can see how excited

the girls were to fill it up!

Morgan turns Eleven

We went to Utah for a family

wedding. We were able to celebrate

with Morgan for his 11th b-day.

We went to Park City to ride the Alpine

Slide. The girls had so much fun and

we loved being in the mountains

for cooler the weather.

Big changes

Madison went from a crib to big girl bed.

She loves her new room and bed.

She stays in for the most part, I know

I miss the containment factor, she now is an early

riser and her mom isn't. I went

in one night and she had lined up

all of her animals from

tallest to smallest.. Can we

say OCD?

Madison's old room with crib.

I miss her stripes. I still remember

the look on Jens' face when I told

him my idea!

Madison starts pre-school

Sophia & Madison
she was so excited and nervous
but I didn't cry.

Kinzi was so excited, she thought

she was going to school too!

picture day!

good thing i took this pic

cause the one i had to choose

from was pretty funny.

Kinzi loves talking on the phone

We try so hard to get pictures of
all of us, but we don't always have Morgan

but we sure try..

the girls found a family of snails. Each

one represents each member of our family
