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.

Oh Christmas Tree

This year the kids loved to decorate the christmas tree. Sydney is really into this year. She loved getting all the ornaments out and putting them on the tree while Blake was behind her taking them off and putting them somewhere else.
Blake getting into trouble and Sydney hard at work decorating. All I did this year on the tree was put on the lights.

Sydney found a cute lil tree just her size.

Checking out the Christmas Trees.
