Mesa Arizona- Jan 1, 2010

So we loaded up the car and headed off to Mesa, Arizona to ring in the New Year! Not a bad destination (75 degrees) when coming from Utah (32 degrees...if you are lucky!) Our two main reasons for going were to see some friends and attend the BSU-TCU Fiesta Bowl Game. Our kids were grrrrrrrrrrrrreat! in the car and amAzing on the entire trip. Gotta love boys!

Jordan, Braden, Austin, Noah, Cole- Five boys under age 6!

Christmas 2009

Good Morning! It was a good morning....our kids slept until 8:00 AM!

Cole got a few packs of Legos and had them all put together before we went to sleep on Christmas Day.

Noah got a Leapster (we call it his DS)

This is when the kids came running in the family room which was wrapped in Christmas Paper to hide the surprise of seeing all the gifts under the tree. A fun tradition from Amy's childhood that is being carried on in our house.

Classic Cole face. Not sure why he looks mad? He's not the one with someone sitting on his shoulders...Greg didn't seem to mind.

I love the lights of Christmas but they are not too photogenic (for an ameteur like me). Vickie decorated our house this year and it looked so wonderful. Everyone that visited couldn't get enough of all the Christmas delight. You could find it in every room. I guess that is what one dozen wreaths are for????
