Look the other way...

Nothing to see here folks... Just some image hosting going on...

First trip of the year.

We spent the first day of the new year in the snow... kind of. We drove about 100 miles north-east of Phoenix and ended up near a place called Christopher Creek. We really enjoy this place during the summer, so we thought we'd check it out during the winter.  When we got out to play, it was SUNNY! - and about 50 degrees. Not bad weather at all. The kids had fun... poor Nic's fingers were cold from all of the snowballs he made and threw at us.

We ended the day with a packed picnic lunch, and made it back down to the valley just in time to witness beautiful sunsets and twilight. We live in such a beautiful state. Lucky us.

Happy New Year!

Envious

I envy the bloggers that have been able to post something during the past month -- for I have not.  You didn't get to hear about my son's 3rd birthday (and I am ashamed to admit that I didn't take any pictures). You didn't get to hear about my 33rd birthday -- and the cool beach cruiser bike my husband bought for me. You didn't get to hear about our Christmas shopping and gift-wrapping, or our large family's Christmas Eve (which is always celebrated on the Saturday before Christmas). You didn't get to hear about the fact that I am on vacation from school AND work for two weeks. I didn't get to tell you that Alex was hurt at school last Friday, and he now has to go to a hand specialist - he might have a Salter-Harris fracture in his thumb (that's okay, I don't know what that means either).  I didn't get to tell you that Isa washed her brand new cell phone, or that the husband and I got new Blackberry Storm 2s (love them!)...

I will leave you with this, though... a breakfast of Dr. Pepper and Doritos is a fine way to start this cold, frothy morning!

Hope to be back to share some of our Christmas with you!
