Gabriel’s Angels Walk - March 1, 2008

Hi all…

Thought I’d post some of the pictures my wife took during their charity walk for Gabriel’s Angels on March 1, 2008. Ev, Mykayla, AJ, Granny Sue, and Granny Sue’s dog Sasha walked the whole 2 mile route in Gilbert, AZ, at the Cosmo Dog Park.

Ev & the girls raised more than $2000 for the walk and had a great time visiting back in AZ.

Here’s some pictures from the event!

Ashlyn’s (AJ’s) 3rd Birthday at Pump-it-Up

Hi all!

And sort of unlike what we did for Mykayla, having the party after the birthday, for AJ we had the party before her birthday on Superbowl Sunday. Afterwards, the Superbowl even turned out to be worth watching. Who knew?

We had her party at Pump it Up, which is basically a big indoor play place with inflated play areas for the kids. I think everybody had a good time. :)

Everyone was forced to watch the indoctrination video about what NOT to do on the equipment…

Mykayla’s 7th Birthday at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo

Hi all…

Though Mykayla’s b-day was January 3, we had her b-day party a few weeks later at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. With family and friends we celebrated that they once again let us into and out of the zoo without trapping any of us in the monkey house. :)

They were able to feed the giraffes, which I think was a big hit even with the adults in the party… Giraffe LoveGiraffes reduxGiraffes and MykaylaHaving fun!More fun!Walking along…

The carousel was a big hit as well…

They had a close encounter of the scaly kind, courtesy of the nice gal in charge of our motley crew during the party…

And at the end there was cake and ice cream! The cake was courtesy of Ethan’s mom, Charlotte.

Afterwards, Mykayla got to hang out with a couple of her friends before we took them home…

Giraffes got legs!Cheesy!

So there you have it… I think everybody had a good time. And if you haven’t been to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, we recommend it. :)

Christmas 2007 #2 in C. Springs

Hi all…

So we drove back from Texas the day after Christmas and had another present opening fiesta at our house the day after that…

We believe that the Boo enjoyed her present best of all, however…

Christmas 2007 in Frisco, TX

Hi all…

So for those of you who didn’t know, we were invited to Buddy (Ev’s brother) & Kristen’s house to spend Christmas with them this year. We drove down to Frisco, TX, and had a great time.

Before we left though, Mykayla was concerned that Santa might not know where we were so that he could deliver presents, so she left this lovely note (written on her own, I might add):

Mykayla’s Note to Santa

For those who can’t quite make out the note, it reads as follows:

To: Santa Clause
From: Mykayla
We are in Dallas Texas at
Uncle Buddy’s house.
Merry Christmas!

The day after we arrived, we got to enjoy one of the local playgrounds around their house:

AJ Swinging AJ, Uncle Buddy, and Jackson Sliding

And then on Christmas Eve, we had a surprise visit from Santa himself!

And if that wasn’t exciting enough, we actually still had Christmas morning to go!

So as you can see the children were tortured and neglected this Christmas, as per usual. Nothing fun or frivolous was received in the least… HAHAHAHAHAHA

We enjoyed our time in Frisco, TX, and then headed home for the next incarnation of Christmas with all the other presents we didn’t take to Texas. :)
