Lately....

I've been trying to sub two days a week so Kora spends time at my parent's house and my Mom took these cute pictures of her playing. 

 Here we are in the van waiting to pick Kali and Kai up from school.

 Kora LOVES going to her preschool class. Her teacher said she is such a good girl.

 We went hiking last week with my friend Heidi who I've known since 7th grade. 

 Kali was such a good helper with the little girls. 

 It was such a beautiful day & we could even see snow on some of the mountains to the east

 today is Cardinal's spirit day at school so the kids are all dressed up in Card's gear

 Kai is SO excited for the game on Sunday. Last game he made us all these cardboard hands to wear during the game. 

Snow Day!!

Today Kai & Francis woke up not feeling well so I called the kids in from school, Fran called in sick to work and I packed up the van for our first ever snow trip! Kali and Kai have only seen snow once in Cave Creek a few years ago and it was about an inch deep so this was fun! We drove up to Stoneman Lake

 Kai jumped right in to the snow and was head to toe covered

 Kai was trying to throw this at me

 Kora loved the snow

 Kali is going to be as tall as me soon

First Day

Kora started her first little preschool class at the community center today. She will got two days a week. She was really excited to go & meet her teacher who she says is very nice. After she came out she said she wants to go back tomorrow, the next day and the next day and the next day. I was so glad she liked it but a little sad that she is growing up so fast. 

Mountains

Kali and Kai came with me to hike Lookout Mountain on New Year's Day. It was the first time they've come with me & they loved this hike.

We all went on one last hike before back to school on Friday. We took an easy trail on North Mountain for Kora. It was fun and the weather was perfect.
