hi ho the merry o... A hiking we will go

It was the first day in along time that it was awesome here in Vegas. The sun was shining and it was 60 degrees. So we decided to go for a hike. It seemed like everyone else thought the same thing because there were so many people out at Red Rock today.


This was the first hike we went on that Blake did so well on. Usually we carry him until we get to our destination and carry him back. but this time he hiked until we had to carry him over the spring where we had to hop across using rocks.

Damn Donuts

I have been working really hard at working out. Going to the gym at least 4 times a week doing cardio and weights with my friend Julie. Ive been making healthier meals at home and eating better. I finally yelled at Rami not to bring anymore crap home to tempt me and he's been really good at doing that... until last night. He brought home donuts. And they have been calling my name... so I ate one. Which is fine but it was so good that after I was out all day I came home and had another one. Damn donuts.





Today Blake got a spikey hair do and he thinks he is so cool now.

Its raining its pouring...

Today is a gloomy rainy day. So we are hanging out at home. Might as well get our Valentines ready. Blake has Spiderman valentines for his preschool class and Syd has some butterfly ones with a faux tatoo. I can't believe how much it has been raining here in Vegas this year. I know I should be grateful and Iam. But I would love my sun back!

Bowling

We took the kids bowling for the first time.
Blake had a blast. He loved picking up the ball and throwing it down the lane.

Christmas 2009

This year the kids were really into christmas. Christmas Eve was a long night trying to get them calm enough to finally fall asleep.
Blake loved his Buzz Lightyear and BL pj's.

Syd loved all her presents. Pj's, markers, etc.

Blake says thanks G-ma for my transformer mask. He is having lots of fun this year with all his new total boy toys.

Christmas sunday.

Team Work

So this is how they keep getting the toys I put in time-out when they have been fighting!

Santa Train 2009

This year we went down to Boulder City to check out there Santa Train. It was fun riding in a train and having santa come sit with us and talk to the kids.
Christmas this year was so much fun because the kids are so into Santa and Christmas. They get so excited when they see Santa it makes it so much fun. It was only last year that Blake was afraid of Santa and this year he runs up to santa and hugs him.

I Love the kids expressions in this pic. Blake is so happy and Sydney is crazy.

Santa Train 2009

We had some time to kill before the next train ride so we took a trip down to Hoover Dam.
