A Great Month to Start out an Amazing Year!


The first few days in January, Freddy and Vic went golfing.
We all enjoyed his visit!




Our first tournament of the month, we sported our new throwback jerseys!
Below is a short highlight reel of Ryan's AB's from that USSSA MLK Tournament. 



We played up in the 13U Majors Division and took home the Championship!




One evening, we attended an informational night at the boys new Junior High/High School!




The Sadie Hawkins Dance was on the 25th.
Earlier that week, Evan came home with this... 


Josie was so creative with the poster!
She was Evan's first official date.  They had a good time!




The 26th was Ryan's 12th Birthday!


We celebrated by going to Castles and Coasters that weekend!


The morning of his birthday, he awoke to some fun door decor!
He had to break out...


In order to enjoy his favorite breakfast!
He had a fantastic birthday weekend!

To close out the month, we had some exciting stuff happen!
Auntie Tiffani, Scott, William and Summer came to visit from California!


We did many fun things when they were in town!
Like an afternoon at the park...


And a nice dinner out while Evan was at school getting prepared for...


His school musical!  Mary Poppins!
He played the role of Michael Banks!  It was INCREDIBLE!


Above is the link to the musical!  Enjoy watching Evan in his element!


On closing night the kids were able to come out for pictures in costume!
Here is Evan with our family!
We were all so proud of him!


And here is Michael with his stage family...


Jane and Michael with their Nanny...


And Mary and Burt...who were quite impressive!
We can't wait to see what the next 3 years at Seton holds 
as far as Evan's theatre experiences go!  




Tiff and family were also able to catch some of Ryan's games before they headed home.



It was such an awesome visit!  
We all really enjoyed the time with them!

December of 2019 has already Come...and Gone!


Hello December!








Our house was ready early on...




And so was our Christmas Card!




Evan's school even got a visit from Mr and Mrs Claus!


 He and a few of his friends had fun posing for some pics.




We even had some December type weather in AZ this year.
Evan made a hail ball at school one day!




Each year, Seton has a Mother's Mass.
It was a nice afternoon for us to spend together
and remember what Christmas is all about!




During Ryan's 1st Tourney of the Season, 
he had a Double...


And a Single...and the Stars won the Championship!




On the 10th, Ryan got all dressed up for his band concert...


Where he performed for us on his trumpet!


He and his fellow 6th grade band students played several songs,
but my favorite was this one from Star Wars!


My handsome boys...LOVE!




During Ryan's 2nd Tourney of the season, he got a Triple!!
The Stars won that Championship as well!




Once school broke for Winter, we headed up to Flagstaff for a fun getaway...


And we brought Evan's friend Niall along for the ride!


We went to Snowbowl to ski...




And the boys went sledding in the woods behind the home we rented!



They really had a blast!




On the 21st, we celebrated Freddy's 42nd Birthday at a tubing park!





Then we got ready for dinner and went to Grimaldi's!




We picked Dad up an OREO ice cream cake to enjoy...


Sang to him...


And he opened gifts from both Evan...


And Ryguy!
He said he had a great birthday!




As we do each year,
we headed to the tree lot one weekend
to pick out the "perfect" tree for the boys!


They carried the tree in...


And then decorated it themselves!




On Christmas Eve, we hosted Freddy's family!


His nephew Jason even brought his daughter Abby!


We took the Ranger out to look at Christmas lights...



And listened to Christmas songs along the way!
We also ate tamales and opened gifts.  It was a great evening!


Freddy's Dad came wearing his Golf father shirt...
So Ryan put on his Blockfather shirt to match!
They represented each of their sports well!




On Christmas Day, we sported our "Comfy's"...


And spent the day hanging out, eating and playing games at the Aguilar's house!
It was a lot of fun!  Thank you guys!




On New Year's Eve, we had a small get-together...


And wore ugly sweaters for a fun themed night!


Freddy's Best Friend, Vic came to town...


And Thomas came by for a bit before he went out with his friends!


The guys played a little Hold 'Em...


And Foosball!


Then we all played some Minute to Win It Games...


And had a terrific time doing it!


Just before midnight...


We popped the corks...


Put on our hats...


And counted down!


We had such a wonderful night celebrating with the Waggoner and Caz Fam's!
Happy New Year Everyone! 
We wish you all health and happiness in 2020!
Best year ever!  Let's do this!
