The Big Guy

There really is a Santa Claus! Not only that, but he knows where our mall is because Jacob and I got to meet him today. Here is proof!

Here we are helping Daddy decorate the tree

See Santa, Jacob and I are never mean to each other.......

Thanksgiving in Arizona

We had so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We are so thankful to have spent it surrounded by family and friends in Arizona! Thanks so much to Uncle James and Aunt Jess for letting us stay at your beautiful house. Hugs and Kisses!

Here is Jacob and I getting ready at the airport---Arizona here we come!

We got to go to the coolest place--Williams, Arizona--gateway to the Grand Canyon. We didn't get to go to the Grand Canyon this time but we did get to go to this awesome Deer Farm. Mom has seen a few too many "When Animals Attack" episodes and so was a bit fearful of the deer but they were so nice! They followed us around and loved to eat straight out of our hands. We got very slobbery.


Munch, munch, munch....

Can we bring him home?


Don't worry Mom, I'll protect you


We visited Ashfork, AZ along the famous Route 66. We found this cool museum. This is Jacob and I in a real Old West jail cell.


Jacob and Uncle James just relaxing on the couch after a nice Thanksgiving



This was at Uncle James' work...can you believe he has a pond at work? We also got to pick tomatoes out of a green house---could there be a cooler job?


While the boys were busy laying block and mortar, my mom, Aunt Jess, and I had a girls day. Here I am getting my first pedicure! Mom says she's afraid she created a monster...whatever that means.

One of the best parts of the trip was getting to see and spend time with Papa P. He's just pretty much a cool guy and his favorite thing to do was to get us really hyper before bedtime : ) Thanks Papa P!

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Don't worry folks, we won't make him ride the pink one forever.....but we at least had to get some video of it!

Halloween Day Videos

The Spider and the Fly

Happy Halloween! So originally when asked what she wanted to be for Halloween, Rachel replied "a spider". Ok I said, and before I could ask Jacob, his big sister chimed and said....."and I think Jacob should be a fly". Hmmmmmmm, I thought...that can't be good. Well, I wasn't able to find a spider costume quite in time so here we have a beautiful bride and a spooky skeleton. We had a great time trick-or-treating and as far as I know, brides don't wrap up skeletons in their web and eat them so I think Jacob is safe....for now.

It's State Fair time again! Time for funnel cake, cotton candy, and lots of weird people eating giant turkey legs. We had a great day and Rachel is officially tall enough to go on a few rides....very exciting for her mother seeing as I was a bit older before that happened : ). Anyway, here are some pictures from the day!


We're here!
