Tucson Adventures

Macey and Heidi went to Tucson with Scott's dad and step-mom over Christmas break, and they had tons of fun! They went to the Biosphere, to Colossal Cave, and went horseback riding. They sure had some fun stories when they got home.

Christmas 2009

We actually had a white Christmas this year! We spent it at Scott's mom's house in Pinetop. The kids had so much fun playing in the snow, and it was cool to actually have a chimney for Santa to come down! It was a little too cold for me, I am definitely a Phoenix girl, but the kids didn't seem to notice that it was only 20 degrees. We had to bribe Ryan with hot chocolate to get him to come inside!

Petting Zoo 2009

For the girls' birthday party we had a petting zoo and over 20 very excited and very loud little girls (there were a couple of little boys, too, but they were severely outnumbered.) It was so much fun, and it made Scott and I realize even more how much we want to have our own little farm. We had a calf, several dwarf goats, many rabbits and chickens, a couple ducks, a pot bellied pig, a sheep, and a llama with an anxiety disorder (sounds like a Disney movie, huh?). Seriously, this llama gets anxiety when it is around people for too long and it will start drooling. He lasted about 30 minutes, it was pretty funny.

Thanksgiving and Birthdays Galore

It has been a very exciting couple of months in our house! We had a great Thanksgiving, Macey turned 8 on the 29th of November, Heidi turned 6 on the 6th of December, and I turned the big 3-0 on the 7th. Wow! I taught a Permanent Makeup class from the 4th-7th, so I didn't get to spend mine or Heidi's birthdays at home, but the girls are having their birthday party this Saturday so we can celebrate then. I am teaching another class on the weekend of the 18th, and then we will be ready to have an awesome Christmas together as a family up in Pinetop. What a crazy month!
