iphone pics

We put our Christmas tree up the other day. The kids got up so excited to see the tree box. We put on some holiday music and had a fun time decorating the house. They even put up the little trees in their rooms.

My parents went out of town so we had our dog Noodle back with us for a few days.

 Kali took this photo on my phone and I had to share it. She's getting so grown up. She's pretty and so kind to others. She struggled with school the start of the school year and now she's doing very well. I'm really proud of her. It was a big learning curve to change to a more challenging school. She's in student government and year book and loving it!
 Kali has had asthma since 1st grade and was sick a lot during the fall/winter months but since Dr. Padrez told her she needed to gain weight it been a HUGE change. Kali has not been sick and not used her inhaler once. She is so happy to be able to go hiking and not miss any school. We hiked one of the trails at Squaw Peak and the views were amazing! It was a such a beautiful clear day.


It's been SOOOO cold this week. Like in the 50's which is nuts for November in Phoenix. Kora and I have been happy to wear our winter hats.

After Turkey Bowl

We met our friends up at the park for an After Turkey Bowl. The kids had so much fun playing football, soccer and basketball. The adults got to relax and visit. It was a fun afternoon.




Thanksgiving

We had one big Thanksgiving at our home this year. We had lots of food (each kid helped me make a dish or dessert) and the weather was so nice that we ate outside. It was fun to have family here.














Field Trip

Kali's 6th grade had a field trip so I was a chaperone. We went out to Mesa Grande ruin. It was pretty interesting.

Hiking

It has finally cooled off enough for us to go hiking again. I love this time of year!









Veteran's Day

We met my parents downtown at the Veteran's Day parade and after we went to Manuel's for lunch and my brother, Bret came up too. It was a fun day!
