Katie's Tea Party


Jacob was invited to his first tea party! My stepmother gave him a fancy suit for Christmas and guess where he was going to wear it?! There was no coaxing or convincing, my star wars obsessed boy was really excited to go! Katie went ALL out, and had tons of fun snacks, including crust less peanut butter honey, chocolate covered cookies, and my favorite pizza bites! Jacob's favorite thing however, were the sugar cubes! If you've read Kerry's post she's not kidding about Alex, poor poor Alex! I swear I saw him laugh and have fun but geez! He had it tough! I'm sure it built character or something! I love all of my son's friends and watching them twirl and bounce on the trampoline was MY favorite for the day! Jacob's favorite thing about the tea party was "seeing my friends". Thanks Kerry, Katie, and most of all Alex!



Feliz Navidad!

Christmas was fun!





The Grand Canyon








Saturday morning, we realized that Williams, AZ was 60 miles from the Southern Rim of the Grand Canyon. Instead of heading back to Vegas right away, we made the side trip. Of course it was worth it! Freezing cold and windy, but beautiful and inspiring. I couldn't feel my toes, but it's not like I was going to walk very far to the railing! I tried my hardest to not say "Jacob, come here! Jacob stay close! Jacob don't go over there!" But, really? There's a sign in the visitor's center saying that 'Yes, people do fall off BUT they don't survive after the first 300 ft!' Are you kidding me? It took every last ounce of Love and Logic in me to not hold his hand the WHOLE TIME! I really did enjoy the view after a bit (when he was holding his dad's hand!) and am glad I was able to check this off my life to do list. Enjoy the pics!
