Christmas Morning!

Christmas morning is so much more exciting with little children. Kristen and Timmy were very excited when they woke up. I didn't expect it, but Timmy was very into opening the presents. I thought he might still be a bit too young to get excited about it, but I was wrong.

Snow and the Zoo!

Merry Christmas! I haven't been keeping up with the blog updates lately, so the Christmas photos will have to wait for another post. Last weekend we went to the mall to visit Santa and it snowed! Well not really, but they did have a snow machine and the kids were fascinated by it. Here are a few pictures.

Last Saturday we met some friends of ours at the Phoenix Zoo for Zoolights. We had a lot of fun, despite it being insanely crowded.

Kristen gets some of the most spectacular bedhead hair I've seen. I just had to share with all of you.

And finally, here is Kristen showing off her new dress she wore to Christmas Mass.

I promise more pictures from Christmas as well as our professional photoshoot will be coming soon!

Goodnight Gorilla

Watching this video makes me want to go pick up Timmy and snuggle him right now! Here he is reading his favorite book, Goodnight Gorilla. He loves the brightly colored pictures.

Playing the drum

Kristen and Timmy love playing with their drum. Grandpa Dave made this drum for Kristen for her 2nd birthday. Thank you Grandpa Dave!

Halloween pictures!

Ok, so I'm not that great at getting pictures up in a timely fashion. I can admit it. But here are our picturse from Halloween night. The kids had a great time trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.

Has there ever been a cuter Pooh pumpkin?

Trick-or-Treating!

Once again, Timmy demonstrates why it's hard to be the little brother to a 2 year old girl who loves dresses and all things pink.

The Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend we made our yearly trip to the pumpkin patch. It as a bit hard to feel the fall spirit since it was almost 90 degrees, but we still had a good time.

Here are Kristen and Mommy just after we arrived at the farm.

Here is Kristen measuring up.

Timmy had a good time too!

Kristen the scarecrow!

Navigating the hay bale maze.

So proud at the end of the maze!

This is the tractor that pulled our hay ride. The driver let Kristen test out the seat after our ride.

A Few Fun Pictures

We have had a few very uneventful weeks. Mostly just playing, which is how it should be. I do have a couple of cute pictures though, so here they are!

Timmy had a lot of fun with his first adventure feeding himself spaghetti. I think he even got some in his mouth.

This is what happens when your 2 year old sister helps dress you. Timmy doesn't seem to mind too much.

Kristen all hyped up just before bedtime.

Apparantly, we were too slow getting her into bed and she decided to get herself all snuggled up on the couch.

Timmy found Kristen's new undies. I have a feeling this will be a blackmail picture someday in the future.
