A Little New Year's Fun.....

We brought in the New Year with the Parodi Mota family (do it, do it, do it) which is always a good time. And unfortunately since having children, I forget to take pictures of the adults. You know I still love you guys right? And the funny thing is our parents really believe that John and Liz are just a figment of our imagination because after being friends for twelve years, they still haven't met. Just keeping the mystery alive......

Who knew the hours of entertainment a bucket and shovel could provide?

All bundled up...

Santa was good to us....

Christmas had a whole new meaning for me with Spencer and Sahalie around. The way Spencer's eyes lit up when he saw the monster truck Santa left him and the snowshoes he had to try out immediately after he opened them. Sahalie babbling and laughing throughout most of the day while the snow fell. Perfect weather for some sledding and a hot toddy. Thanks Santa!

Waaaay back in June, we let Spencer take the wheel in the Alvord.

'scold!

Check out these ice fairies on the windshields of Todd's car and my truck.

A few seconds with my children.

Watching Sahalie can be like staring at a fire.
Hanging out with Spencer seems to be stoking one (no audio necessary).
Play movies simultaneously for maximum effect.
