The Month of Love and other Fun!

The morning of Superbowl Sunday, we took the boys to the NFL Experience in Phoenix...

They got to be on the cover of Madden 2015...

And we got to be on the big screen at the Superbowl (with a little help from some green screens)!

Daddy hit the jackpot at the Skittles Station...

And the boys enjoyed all of the activities!

It was a fun morning!

Evan had a 4th Grade Field Trip at the Capital Museum.  

Of course he and his friend Quinn, found a Lego flag of Arizona!

Freddy and I had a night out at a friend's wedding one evening!

The boy's had art night at school to show us their work...

They did a great job!

We snuck in a selfie before Valentine's Day Dinner at Mastro's 

(which was delicious as usual)! 

Science Night at School was also a hit!

Only about 2 1/2 months of school until our babies are done with 4th and 1st grade!

It's CRAZY!

Starting the Year out Right!

It's a New Year!!!

Here is a normal evening at home for Daddy and Ryan! 

Ryan started his Winter Flag Football Season!

He managed to keep the foot in! Hooray!

Only in Arizona can you play outside in muddy water in January!

We rolled in it...

And splashed each other!

It was a fun Saturday afternoon!

We had dinner and cake at Grandma and Grandpa's to celebrate

Grandpa's Birthday on the 17th!

On the 25th, we had Ryan's Party...

It was at K1 Speedway in Phoenix!

Ryan was so excited!

He, Evan and 8 of his friends had a great time racing!

We can't hardly believe our baby is 7!

Happy Birthday Ryguy!

That evening we had a family dinner celebration at Grimaldi's!

The next day was the 26th!  His actual birthday!

He got to celebrate at school with his friends!

I even caught Evan walking by from Science, 

so I got a quick pic of my babies!

One of Ryan's favorite things to do is play 

NCAA Football on the Xbox!

We made sure he had time to do that on his big day!

Before the month ended, the boys got to ride their

motorcycles!  They were getting good at racing

with a little air time at the end!

This is a favorite afternoon with Daddy for Evan!

Nerf War and Adventuring in the Backyard!

Everyone loves having Daddy home!

Where did the Year Go!?

The boys each got to do something they love this month!

Evan did a local how-to commercial...

And Ryan got to compete!  He played in a soccer tournament with some of his best buddies!

It was their first time playing together!  They did awesome!  Won 2 and lost 1!

December means lights were aglow...

The tree was decorated...

And the stockings were hung by the chimney with care!

Our Elf, Jingle Buddy came back to keep watch...

He also had a little fun with his friend, Randall!

Ryan and Daddy won the championship in their first year playing/coaching kid pitch!

It was a great night for the whole family!  So proud of our Stars!!!

Evan finished his season of soccer!

He accepted his AWARD!

And Grandpa came to support Evan of course!

After the game, we took our annual trip to Flagstaff!!!

We went to the North Pole...

And saw Santa!!!

It was a ton of FUN!!!

We graduated from Elf College...

And wrote our letters to Santa!!!

 Evan's made Mommy cry...what an awesome letter!

The next day we hit the slopes!!!

It was a great family day!!!

The boys outfits for their school's winter concert were a hit!

And so were their performances!!!

Ryan's and the 1st graders sang a song...

 And so did Evan and the other 4th Graders!

Evan and his buddy Quinn had their Culminating Event before winter break!  They have been studying Ghost Towns and the history of Arizona for months! 

 In order to kick off break right, we set out to find the boys' tree!

We had to go to 2 lots to find it...

But we did...and it was worth it!  

The next morning, it was time to hang the lights and ornaments!

It was a great choice...smelled really good!

On the 21st, it was Daddy's 37th birthday!

We went to dinner at ZTejas, then came home for presents and cake!

We couldn't head into Christmas Eve without baking cookies for Santa!!!

We also got to meet and hold Baby Jackson!!!

So thankful he is healthy and HOME!!!

Notice: Evan got his braces off!  Hooray!!!

With cookies laid out...

 And reindeer food on the lawn...

It was time for stockings and Christmas Eve gifts!!!

Merry CHRISTmas to All...

And to All a Good Night!

We woke up to find..

Our big gift was a new iPad!!!

Thank you Mommy and Daddy!

 All Christmas Day we relaxed, took our time opening gifts, and watched Christmas movies!

Then, on New Year's Eve, we threw our annual party at home!

Even the rain couldn't dampen the fun!

A few adjustments like moving the balloon arch and fire pits under coverings...

And it was time to party!

The Burger's Amore truck was a hit again this year!

Happy New Year Everyone!
We hope you all have a happy and healthy 2015!!!
