Playing at Tumbleweed Park

Christmas Lights!

Last weekend we printed a list of the best Christmas lights in the East Valley off of the Internet and decided to check a few of them out.  I have to say that people must've signed themselves up because a lot of the houses were pretty disappointing.  Some of them probably didn't have any more lights then I have on my house.  There were a few good ones though.  This one house that we went to a ton of lights and they were playing a Christmas movie on the garage door.  They had seats set up with heaters in front of them to watch the movie plus free popcorn, hot chocolate, and cookies.  It was so cute!  It was definitely my favorite.  I told Matt that maybe we should do that next year. . .  I think that it may take a little bit of convincing.

Horse Races

We went to the horse races at Turf Paradise with Matt's dad a couple of weeks ago.  Caden had a good time running around, but we didn't win at all. I would have to say that it probably wasn't one of the best trips to the horse races.  Maybe we will do better next year.

More Pics From the Dunes

These are some pictures that my mom took after my camera ran out of batteries.

The Dunes

We went up and visited my parents for a couple of days during the annual Thanksgiving dunes trip.  Caden had fun playing in the sand. but we spent a lot of time inside of the toy hauler because it was super windy most of the time.  Matt went on a couple of rides in the rail, but I guess that isn't so much fun when it's windy either.  I wouldnt've thought that it would've made much of a difference since you have sand flying at you anyways but apparently it does.  It was nice to relax and hang out by the campfire though.  My camera ran out of batteries, so these are the only pictures that I got.

Brrrrr So Cold!

It's finally gotten cold around here (Well really only cold in the morning and at night.  It's really nice during the day.  I guess that's Arizona for you.).  Caden was so cold that he had to put his robe on in the morning. :)



Caden Was a Busy Boy Today!

These pictures were all taken within a couple of hours this afternoon.  I think that he is just trying to keep me on my toes!

Baby Grant

Matt's sister Janeille had her baby, Grant, yesterday.  He was born a week early via c-section, and he was still 9 lbs 10 oz and 21 inches.  He is so cute and looks like a little chipmunk with his chubby cheeks. 



Happy Halloween!!

Caden was the cutest duck ever for Halloween!  I was a little worried that it might look a little girly, was he was so dang cute that I couldn't stand it!  

 Here he is doing the chicken dance.

 Here is the back of his costume.  The tail moved back and forth, so it looked like he was waddling when he walked.  It was adorable!

Caden with my brother Mikey.  He was a little scary looking!
