TRAMPOLINE!!!

We got a trampoline for the boys as part of Zachary's birthday present and they LOVE it!!! It pretty much takes up most of our backyard but it is totally worth it. I always wanted a trampoline as a kid but never got one so of course I am going to get one for my kids so that I can play on it too!

Kaiden has already accomplished how to do a front flip!

Fun Times in Tucson, AZ

While we were in Tucson, Arizona for Christmas break we had fun exploring! We went to the park and fed the ducks, took a trip to the Zoo at night to see the Christmas lights and Santa Clause, went bowling, visited Mount Lemon, and Nick and I had a date!

Boys making turkey jerky with Gramma Sugie. It was delicious!!!

Making Christmas stockings

While we were in Arizona for Christmas the kids got to make their own Christmas stocking. This was a HUGE hit, especially for my artist Kaiden! They turned out so cute and were even cuter on Christmas morning when they were filled with goodies.

Road Trip to Arizona

Finally I am slowly getting around to some Christmas pictures!!! :)

For Christmas we traveled all the way to Tucson, Arizona to visit Nick's mom, sister, and our niece. It would have been almost an 18 hour drive if we drove straight through but we decided to stop in Odessa which is halfway to stay with our friends, The Carter's. So glad we split our drive up, otherwise our kids would not have lasted!! On our way back home we stopped in Midland and stayed with my brother and his family.

The boys LOVED seeing the mountains as we drove and they were actually really good. Kaiden stayed busy with coloring, drawing, playing his leapster, or his Tag. Zachary stayed busy with snacks, Tag junior and movies! :) Plus they both took naps, including me. :)My parents had given us a IPAD for Christmas before we left so I stayed busy for almost 6 hours straight playing on the IPAD while my sweet loving husband drove!

Our quick pass through of New Mexico! Wish we had a fun sign like this for Arizona but we never saw one.

Kaiden trying to figure out where we should go on the map, he is so serious!

Thank goodness we have a van to pile all of our stuff in. We actually had room for more stuff, can you imagine?

Can you understand this? It is his Christmas Poem. Here is what it says:

"Here is my poem. Christmas is the best you get lots and lots and lots of presents. snowflakes fall from the sky." I am so proud of my poem writing little man!! :)
