Phoenix Zoo Lights

We took Jake to the Zoo Lights at the Phoenix Zoo last weekend. He really liked them, and REALLY liked that we let him wear his PJ's to the event. Gotta love Thomas the Train PJ's in public places. I guess that's why it is cool to be two. Nobody really cares what you wear out in public.

Denver Trip

We had a quick, but very nice trip to Denver this month. We got to spend time with Brian's Mom & Sister and also with his Dad & Step Mom and Brother. Here are a few pictures of our visit to the Civic Center to see the pretty light display, and also from our chilly trip to the park one morning.

San Francisco

During our little Chico trip Jake and I went to see Brian on one of his overnights. We spent the day before Thanksgiving in San Francisco playing! Jake really liked the sea lions at Pier 39 and seeing the ocean.

We tried to get Jake to stand like a sea gull (on one leg). If you look close you can see the bird on one leg - and Jake on his one leg too!

Thanksgiving Week

Two of the cutest pilgrims I have ever seen :-) Jake's cousins Macie & Maddie on Thanksgiving morning.

Papa Rich and his Grandbabies! This was the scene the whole evening - they were all piled on him watching videos on the computer.

Camping

We went camping this weekend at the McDowell Mountain park just outside of Fountain Hills. Brian had a 12 hour bike race and we had a great campsite right on the race course! Jake had a great time playing in the dirt!

Grandma Jean!

Grandma Jean came to spend the night with us this week. Here are a couple of pictures from her visit.
