Wyatt's 2nd Birthday Party

Wow! I am really behind getting this post up! Wyatt turned 2 on January 22nd, and his party was at the end of the month. We had a lot of fun playing down in Phoenix that day and enjoying some nice weather. Here are a few pics from the party...

When all was said and done...

...we finally got to play!

Suns Game ~ Merry Christmas, Jake!

I gave Jake tickets to a Sun's game for Christmas. Thankfully, the snow storm cleared just in the nick of time, so we were able to go down to Phoenix for dinner, the game, and a night without the kiddos -- thank you Heather for babysitting and letting us be kid free for a night! The game was very fun - the Suns won (yay!) - and we got some pictures of the snow aftermath while driving down and back up the hill.

On the way home, you can see the snow on the mountains in the distance.

Snow weighing the trees down.

SNOW!

We had a HUGE blizzard hit us already this year - the third wettest storm on record in Flagstaff. We easily had 5 feet of snow, the majority of it falling in only two days! However, we were snowed into our house for about a week. I would bet that Jake spent 15 to 20 hours outside clearing snow from the ground and roof of our house. It was crazy!!! Here are some pictures of our great snow adventure...

Silly Sentences

Cousin Heather gave Micah a fun sentence building puzzle game for Christmas. He really enjoys it and is doing a great job of constructing sentences with the pieces. He made most of the sentences in the pictures all by himself. I know he is smart, but the boy is always surprising me with what he is capable of! If you are looking for a fun educational tool for your kids this really is great - encourages reading and even includes periods to teach a bit about punctuation.

Super Cool Storm A' Brewin
