AZ Snow Day

Well, since everyone seems to be getting snow, we decided to bring some snow to Chandler, Arizona. It started with a Sno to Go kit that Adam and I found at the airport in Wyoming. The best thing is that you can play with it indoors and you don't need any snow gear :)The boys really enjoyed it, but I think they may need to experience real snow..... Time for a trip to the cold country :) Another, crazy thing about this Snow to Go was that it was cold to the touch, we have saved some for anyone who wants to come over and play in the snow...

Then, at Little Man's preschool last week they trucked in snow for Snow Day, so we decided to drop in and have a little fun as well. This video gives you a little glimpse of Colin's flirting technigue.... and thank goodness it's not that effective....




And of course with a snow day, hot chocolate and donuts is a must... This picture of the kid's face beside Little Man cracks me up!!!

See look real snow...we haven't totally lost our mind!Little Ax loved the snow, although he was a little upset that he had to leave with mom and couldn't stay with his brother. He is of course the same age, well he thinks he is anyway.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year! This is just a small taste of the New Year's celebration (and maybe some foreshadowing for Little Ax, he couldn't put down the cup of apple cider for anything....) Stay tuned our friend will post more soon.....The first family event for the New Year was the Fiesta Bowl Parade, along with thousands of other families! We decided to head over the parade early to truly enjoy all its festivities.. like the potato shooters that are now sold on the same cart as cotton candy... I may be out of the parade loop because I really thought the guy was kidding until he showed me the actual potatoes (look close and you will too)!!! Needless to say we did not purchase one, but maybe next time...

Little Man had to fill up on juice getting ready for the big parade...

Ax did what he does best... SNACK.. SNACK.... SNACK .. SNACK (at least I brought noodles this time, yes actual noodles)

Game faces... These days this is the one of the only ways Little Man will look at the camera....

While I was watching the parade, I thought what could I do in a parade... play the tuba, no that instrument is bigger than me, and then I saw these women and thought my friends and I will definatley be doing this in about 20 years!!!! Look at those legs!

One of my favorite things was a costume club that is in the Valley for Star Wars fans. Made me think I was in Hollywood for a brief second...
And after the various balloons (because floats aren't the cool thing anymore) hundreds of horses and various marching bands, Little Man was ready to head home....
