Cardinal Fever

Even though the Cardinals didn't win we sure has a lot of fun cheering for them and watching the game! The first picture is with our awesome 3D glasses we used to watch 1 commercial-ya!

Pumpkin Pie Haicutted Freak

Well, Calon had a lovely head of hair, but it was starting to get in his eyes, so we took him to get his first haircut! He was better much than we expected (we expected it to be a big fight-that is the only reason we didn't try it at home first)- but instead of a tiny trim around the face and in the back she butched and crookified the bangs and the back had the right half at 1/2 inch long and the left half at like 2 inches long- it was awful. So now he went from having awesome hair, to being a pumpkin pie haircutted freak, to buzzed. Yep, it was so bad we buzzed him- we did it on the longest setting possible, so it can grow back quick. It looks better buzzed then we thought it would, but I am so sad:( Here are some pics of the adventure in Calons' loss of hair. In the pics of him in the tub, the crooked bangs have not been partially buzzed- that's how she cut his hair!

Chad and the Cardinals Game

Go Cardinals Go!!!

Well, the Cardinals Rock this season and tomorrow is the NFC Championship game- Chad is so excited (as any life long Cardinal's fan would be) and he has given us all football fever- he's got Keston going around the house saying "Cardinal's Rule- Eagles suck"- he even has me looking forward to the game- (though I'm not sure whether I am excited about the game as much as I am excited about eating delicious snack foods! :) ) Anyway- for whatever reason we are all really pumped for the game tomorrow!

In other news- Calon loves trying to race to the kitchen before we can stop him from playing with Tank's food and water- this time he made a beeline for Tank's Kennel and got stuck, so here are a couple pics of that and just a few other pics from the last week...

Ode to Chad's Vacation

Well, Chad's vacation is officially over- at noon he goes back to work :( But we had a great time while he was off! We had company, Christmas, New Years, my B-Day, we had time to relax and do nothing, time to play games, time to go out to eat, time to go to Hoot's, time to watch movies, time to get haircuts, we had a super time enjoying Chad's time home!! Here are just a few pics from while he was home......

December Visitors

Since we weren't able to make it down for Christmas this year friends and family stopped by to see us.

Uncle Mike came to play from the 26th-30th.
Kes and Mike are having fun putting together a cart, but Kes had the most fun when they were wrestling and he "kicked Uncle Mike's ass."- out of the mouths of babes:)













Here Chad and Mike are riding the carts from Grammy.













Rue Rue came by the 29th to visit and unload her storage unit. She brought delicious homemade poppy seed bread and pomegranate jelly.













Chad's brother, Maurice, came with Rue- Kes really liked racing down the hill on the new carts with him.













Papa came by the 30th- he was staying at his cabin in Show Low, AZ and did a one day turn around- crazy if you ask me, but we were really glad to have him, even if it wasn't a very long visit.

Christmas 2008!

Christmas was so fun this year! We were not able to make it down to Arizona because Cal is having a really rough time, but it was nice to just be at home. Keston was so excited to open presents and Calon was so excited to play with all the wrapping paper. It was a happy day! Here is a slideshow of the morning....
