January 2009

I'm getting afraid 2009 might just be the fastest year of my life! Trevor, Jaden and I started it off with a happenin' New Years Eve party!! In Jan. we had a family trip to the zoo and went to the Cartchner Cavers. The rest of Jan. Trevor was endlessly busy with a trial that was canceled the day of, he started a new semester and is finishing a 60 page note. Jaden has mastered her cartwheels and handstands, played in her first chess tournament and qualified for the state championship, she has run a mile once every week, and continues to be an amazing big sister! Jacob says a new word every single day, insists on pee-peeing in the potty and is growing up WAY to fast for me. I'm well, loving every minute of it all!!! no joke. OK almost every minute.

Merry Christmas!

Gobble, Gobble, Gobble

It's turkey time again, bring on the feast! Since this summer, with Tera's inspiration of eating "raw foods", we have eaten almost completely vegetarian and boy was I ready to sink my teeth into a big piece of a large bird! Trevor held strong and missed out. He studied for finals, while the kids and I went to Mesa for his Allen/ Stapely family reunion. We partied it up at the Dahl resort with the Maxwell,s and attended all five of the family events! It was a fun-filled weekend!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Sister and Brother LOVE

Jacob and Jaden love each and have so much fun together. Jacob wakes Jaden up each morning by crawling all over her and trying to wiggle his way in for a kiss and some love. Jaden might try to shew him away at first, but she smiles as she tries to give him a zerber on his belly. They love to play in the clean laundry, dance, sing, and as of last week, play in the new sandbox I built. I'm proud, can you tell. On the first day it was finished Jacob played in it for almost 45 min. while I did housework. I told Trevor, It was like a dream come true to see my little boy playing in the sandbox while I got things done. Trevor said, THAT is your dream come true??? hehe. Why yes, I guess it is.

Sea World

SEA WORLD we are back! A year and a half ago we had one of our favorite days ever. We came back for more. Trevor decided to add a little craziness and bring the family with him on his interview trip to San Diego and Irvine. It was great to cool off and imagine ourselves living in so. Cal. for the summer. With much, and I mean much deliberation and prayer, Trevor accepted a summer internship with Bryan Cave in Irvine, sorry Piper.
