We are SO excited that Auntie Angie is getting married to Scott, June 24th!!! Scott is such a wonderful guy! The boys love him so much, and even wanted Scott to stay in their room with them for the night instead of Auntie Angie! That says a lot! =D We are so happy to have him as part of the family!!!

Cabo San Lucas!

We loved sooo much going on a trip to Cabo San Lucas with Russ and Alesha E. the middle of December!! We all enjoyed the warm sunshine, relaxing, and seeing the special friends down there again! What a fun trip it was together! =)

Russ and Alesha!

Eating at 'The Office' (hard at work!) with our feet in the sand looking at the ocean! Wonderful!!

Alesha and I loved going on walks on the beach! What a wonderful setting and place to get in a little exercise! We even found a whole sea horse washed up on the sand! What a neat find!

We enjoyed eating at Brasil's one night! It was delicious as always and very fun!

Some of the special, special friends in Cabo! It was so good to see them again!! How we love them so much... (Elia holding Reid, Allejandra, Leilani, and Celina holding Coy from Canada)

We had so much fun going sledding with the family the day after Thanksgiving up by Hodoo! The boys had so much fun playing in the snow, throwing snowballs, and sledding down the hills!

What cute boys! Don't be decieved by their sweet smiles! They were throwing snowballs at mommy and having so much fun! =D

The mighty bow hunter! Chet has been having SO much fun with this bow that daddy picked up, and then we took one of daddy's arrows without the broad head on it, and we have been having SO much fun with it!! Chet is practicing shooting this deer, turkeys that come in our yard, and even our sheep rams! ;) Of course he usually doesn't get close enough to hit them, but it does make for a good hunt and he's getting to be a really good shot! Chet is so good at sharing too! He even lets Zane and mommy have some turns! It is really fun to shoot! Oh, it's haaard work to be a mom sometimes! ;) I love playing! =D

Concentrating super hard!
