Playtime in the Snow!

We went up to north to play in the snow with our friends
Joey, Katie, Landon and Kenlee.It was such a nice day, we did not even need our
heavy coats.

Abi says "lets go"!

Cutie pies, Kenlee and Leah

Abi Sledding

To our surprise, Abi wanted to go on the sled by herself.
Now this is a girl who does not like to go down a slide by herself.
By the end of the day she was going down the hill on her tummy!!!
When watching the video listen for the screaming, that is Abi.
The quality is not so good, but it is still worth watching.

Abi and Landon going for a ride on their own,
they are getting so independent!
Look at the pretty mountains in the background!!Oh what fun!

Abi crusin' down the hill!

Daddy and Leah

Abi and the mini snowman.

Abi making a snow angel. Cuties!

We had such a fun time! Abi was almost in tears when
we had to leave. But the talk of getting ice cream made it
better. A girl after my own heart.

They don't come any cuter!

NFC Championship Game

Philadelphia Eagles vs. AZ Cardinals
We scored some tix to the game! Jordan Sparks, American Idol
winner from last season and an AZ native, sang the national anthem. We went with Andy's partner Steve and his wife Kelcey.

One happy Cardinals fan! (see video below)

Winning Play

Here is the winning play from the game. For all of you who
don't get it, this is 21 years in the making. Since the Cardinals
came to AZ they have never gone to the Superbowl. Talk about
an important date in history, here's one for ya. ;) This explains the
reason for the excessive celebration. My apologies for the quality
of the video, but you get the point. Although they are not my team,
it was really fun to be there and I will be cheering for the home
team on Sunday. The Cardinals are the true underdogs in this scenario.

GO CARDS!

Playing With Our Friends

Just before we went on a hike.
I am carrying Leah in the Baby Bjorn. Kenlee and Leah getting some play time.

Such cuties!

Abi got to go for a ride on Landon miniature horse, Stella.
Here he is showing Abi how to brush Stella
before putting on the saddle.

Abi riding Stella! What a big girl! Landon walked Stella for Abi.

What cuties!

They make such a cute pair! Landon did such a good job walking Stella, and Abi had a
blast riding Stella!

Backyard Fun

Abi wanted her picture taken only because
I was taking pictures of Leah. Funny girl.

Pretty girl.

Bath Time!

Leah enjoys her baths, she likes to sit on the end of her seat
and splash.

Trip to Illinois!

Auntie Jen and her little niece Leah
watching Elmo LIVE!Elmo can do all sorts of stuff, he sneezes, dances, tells jokes and
asks to be picked up when he falls over,
then says "Thank you" when you pick him up.
Fun and scary at the same time.

"Princess Abi" as she calls herself.
Uh oh, I think we may be in trouble.

A raccoon my brother shot. It has been living in my parents
barn for quite some time now.
They think he is guilty of eating their chickens. That sucker was big!

Gramps and his girls.

"Monkey" Adam as Abi calls him, had a good
time painting together.

Grams and Leah yuckin' it up. (having a good time, mom)

This was a new face that Leah developed while we were there,
not sure what it means. Just being silly I suppose.

We visited with some friends while in IL. This is
Ellie. Ellie and Leah are only about 2 weeks apart! Abi, Leah, Avi and Ellie.

Me and Somer. Jenny was there too but we forgot to
get a picture with her, here is your shout out Jenny!
We love ya!

Abi and Anderson
