Will...what happened to my no guns policy??

Before I had kids I always said, "my kids will never play with guns or Barbies." HA HA. Will makes guns out of everything...EVERYTHING. Even Heath admitted that Will may be the only kids who uses his macaroni noodles to shoot with! Here's how the pleasant hike behind our cabin turned out this weekend...

The Polar Express

We made our annual trek to Flagstaff this weekend for a ride on the Polar Express. Ryan and Will were so excited to see Santa; Will, because he's amazed by this incredible man and Ryan, because he knows how it works - mom and dad aren't buying anymore toys and Santa is a means to an end. We all got decked out in our new jammies and headed to the train station to meet the big guy. Ryan stood in line and rehearsed his wish list. When it was our turn AJ and Will both willingly sat on Santa's lap for pictures. Ryan chose to stay off to the side and was very business-like. It went something like this:

Will (wide-eyed) - "I want racecars and a racecar track"

Ryan - "Hello, Santa. I have 7 things on my list. 1. Wall-E, 2. Eve..." he couldn't remember #5 and got so flustered. Good on him though - he kept his cool, though red in the face - and said, "Well, I'll have to come back to #5" and continued his list and then remembered #5 just in time. My heart melted at how stinkin' cute it was to see him there, braving his fears. 

The train ride was great and we are all now ready for Christmas!

Updates Coming Soon!

.....I hope!! Please check back in soon! Oh yeah, enjoy the music! A friend of mine has an awesome blog and she taught me how to add some flair!

Facebook

OK, while I still love to blog, I'm finding it more difficult to find the time to update photos and write. I have been sneaking around on facebook instead of on my blog...which is fun and fast! 

We've been so busy here with Halloween, parties, school, friends, and everything else that seems to keep us running! Here are some pics from recent weeks.
