Punky Brewster in 2010???

You would think that Punky Brewster died out in the '80's...here she is making her first appearance.

The Living Aquarium

We went to the Living Aquarium with the kids and they had so much fun looking at all of the different types of fish. They were able to touch a Stingray and they thought that was really cool!! We went shopping at the Cabela's and the Gateway after the Aquarium. It was such a fun day with the family!

Christmas and Dance Recital 2009

Olivia, Kristen and my niece Natalie pose with their Roses after the recital. They were so cute and did such a great job!

This was Kristen's first dance recital ever - she was amazing!!

Olivia just had her third dance recital and she was a star with her antlers as they danced to Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer.

Tombstone Arizona

We spent the day in Tombstone with John and Jana. It was really fun to see the place that was in the movie where Doc Hollywood and friends ruled the world.




Here are some pictures...














Here is a picture of the gang...














The cutest little cowgirls ever...











































Truly 'Dead Meat'...We went to a gun fight today and the lady that was a part of the show kept making reference to Tom's legs and that she could see up his shorts and from that point forward he was the only audience member that she paid attention to. You could see how a wife might be upset.















Isn't this just the cutest little S*&$??















If you look at the background behind the girls you can see the set for the town and the place they had the gun fight.

Pictures of Us after Driving 18 hours in 2 days...did I mention the number of Potty breaks???

Here are pictures of us in the truck after driving for 18 hours. We drove approximately 7.5 hours the first day and 8.5 the next. It was nice to get here and see all of the family. We met baby Hayden for the first time and Richards girlfriend Kirsten - they are both delightful. I finally met the infamous 'Simon' the cat which hates me by the way and the cat 'Jackie' which also just greets me with a hiss. 'Big Foot' the cat actually likes us all and makes us feel loved so it is ok.

Kayla was less than happy about the long drive.














These two girls had a nap.













This is Tom after a long grueling game of Golf...don't you feel bad?

Half-Way to Sierra Vista...Vegas!!!

We stopped in Vegas on our way to see Grandpa Ed (Tom's dad) in Sierra Vista, AZ. By the way, it is 66-72 degrees here since we have been here. Augh....

The girls were mostly excited about going to the hotel but we still visited Fremont street which was unusually vacant. I have never seen this small amount of people in Vegas. We gambled and lost...the girls got lots of souvenirs so along with losing money, we spent it too but it was all in good fun. \

We visited the M&M factory...here are some pictures...
