a little nature walk

 

 

 

Miss K, not enjoying sitting on top of daddy's shoulders.  She has decided that the front of the stroller is where she wants to be.  This would work only Gavin has decided the same thing.  These two are hard headed just like their parents I guess

AJ pretending to fall and Gavin helping him stay up

 some days I wonder why we have a double stroller??!!

Gavin Dentist

We took Gavin to the dentist today and he rocked it.  First year to get xrays done, he was a little unsure of this but got over it quickly with a trip to the treasure chest, he had two more of these to complete the visit.  I found out if that kids are usually pretty happy and easy going if you have lots of prizes for them:)  Kaylee got to come a long this time and watch her time is coming up this year, although I feel like we will be starting back at square one with this one, because sister does not like to be told to do things like sit in one place or open wide to look at teeth.  But time will tell:)

 

 I think AJ played more video games than the kids while waiting to be seen

 Can not believe how little Gavin looks here

 

 

Showing off his cool glasses, amazing everything matched

(with a little help from his mom)

 

 Getting his teech cleaned, check out Gavin squirming around in the chair, too cute

the best part about going to the dentist throwing money into the water fountain



my loves

Sometimes when the holidays roll around we start to get a little homesick around here

 

 

Snow just means Christmas at home and its this time of year that seasons would really come in handy (also in the dead of summer, a change of season would be welcomed!)

 

a list of things that would not be fun doing at home right now-

 

sidewalk chalk would definitely not work in MN right now

 

Riding tricycles without a jacket and hat would be freezing in the snow

 

Same goes for bicycle rides

 Hot air balloons would not work in winter storm warnings

 

 the only sand showing at home right now would be on the roads

 

and swinging would just be freezing cold

 

 

So yes we miss our Minnesota friends, family and weather but we have all that down here just a little different than it is at home right now

 

Merry Christmas from Phoenix!

 



Really really behind in posting pictures, opps!

 Kaylee is really starting to get good at the whole feeding yourself thing:)

 Walking on shapes after the rain

 attempting to wait (patiently) for santa, Kaylee has a tough time with this one

topping it off

We have had the tree up for awhile now, but for some reason forgot to finish with the star on top.  The last couple years Gavin has done it so we let him put the star up thinking Kaylee won't be too interested yet.....Wrong.  Kaylee thew a fit so we took it back down and let her have her turn.  I figured this was a couple years away but silly me right?
