Xmas Card 2019 & Tractors

I really love sending out Christmas cards but I hate sending out Christmas cards......  HAHAHAHA!  If everyone could just stay at the same address going forward, that would be AWESOME! I loved the cards we did this year.  Buffalo checker print print is my fave!

 Jaafe took the boys to a friend's community he is developing where they had these big tractor machine things.  I thought the pictures Jaafe started texting me were digitally enhanced images HAHAHAHAHAHA....guess not.  The boys had so much fun!  Jaafe said Hudson was a little afraid at first but then was great.  Love!  12.15.18

 You can see how into it Steel is by his facial expression in this picture.  So cute!

And this is Jaaten and her sweet friend Alex at the Highland HS football game with Jaafe.  We love taking Alex with us.  The girls get along so well and are the best of friends.  And she's nice....which I love!

The kids' school invited parents to the quarterly assembly for the first time this year.  I'm SO glad I was able to go.  Jaaten received two awards a I was so happy I was able to see how proud she was of herself.  Jaaten is the absolute easiest kiddo! 12.18.18

 

This dog!  Millie loves to lay up on the island in our closet while I get ready in the morning.  I started putting her up there so I would know she wasn't peeing on my floor.  Now she's hooked!  12.19.18  

 Hudson had Grinch Day on Monday....he was a hog in heaven.  His sweet teacher sent this picture today!

Polar Express & Bearizona

We took the kids to The Polar Express in Williams, AZ this year.  Grammie an Papa came too which was awesome.  The kids LOVED it!  Not sure we would do it again but it was fun!  It was kind of a one-and-done for us. ;)  11.23.18

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Jaaten lasted about 30 minutes on train!  Boooooo! 

 

 

 The boys LOVED driving by the North Pole.  We were bummed Jaaten fell asleep!

 

 

Hudson's face was so awesome in this picture!  Hudson absolutely loved Santa coming on the train!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Millie the Sheepadoodle

Yes, we got a puppy!  These three children of ours have been asking for a puppy for about three years now.  The kids absolutely adore her!  Millie is her name....we just got her last month at 9 weeks old.  She is sweet but can hold her own with these three all over her all the time! Even Jaafe likes her. ;)
The first 5 pictures are the pictures the breeder sent us before we met her. ;)

 

 Picking her up in Little Rock, AR.  Such a fluff ball!  11.13.18

The kids had no idea we were getting her and met her the next morning.  They were so excited!  11.14.18

This was the first morning Millie was with me while I was getting ready for work.  I would call for her and realized she's laying right at my feet.  So cute! 

 And she rides to school with us every morning! 

 And always sits under Hudson's chair when he is sitting there! XO

Christmas Pictures 2018

This year we had our pictures taken at Saguaro Lake which is about 25 minutes from our house.  The photog, Jackie, is a friend of mine since early college serving at a bar/restaurant in Chandler.  Ha!  Jackie is awesome and gets the best faces out of my kids!  I took this first picture on my phone before we started.  So pretty there!  11.12.18
