Why's The Sky Blue...
I picked up M from religion class (yes, don't faint)and on the way home she saw a shooting star (I think it was plane). She started asking a whole bunch of questions about shooting stars and I tried my best to come up with some answer, I do remember a little bit of 8th grade science. Well one question lead to another and before I knew it the ultimate kid question flew out of her mouth, "Mommy, why is the sky blue?" Well, I tried my best to answer, but once I saw her confused little face in the rear view mirror I said "Hey, lets look it up on the Internet when we get home" She smiled! Thank God for the Internet, really! Remember how we researched things when we were little, do ya? We had to go to the library and figure out that damn Dewey Decimal System, and then hunt for the book hoping it was in the right place! Moral of the story is INTERNET = LIFE IS GOOD!

Happy New Years...
Wow, never would have thought the kids would have made it to midnight after the busy day we had yesterday, but they both surprised us and went to bed at 12:30 a.m.. Luckily the kids are not on a schedule so M slept in till 11:15 a.m. and C slept till 12:00pm! Guess who they take after, hmmmm? :) It pretty much was a lazy day, still playing with all the new Christmas toys and then played outside with their friends. Esie surprised us by stopping over and we ended up going out for Mexican food. So far 2010 seems to be going pretty good, only 364 more days to go!

Happy New Years Eve 2009...
Happy New Year's Eve! Mike and I decided that it would be a lot of fun to spend the last day of the year up in the snow with the kids. So we tagged along with some friends and headed up to Payson to look for snow. We ended up at a turn off a little past Christopher Creek with fresh powder snow.
Unfortunately on the way up Mike's crazy driving made C car sick, UGH! I thought we were going to have to go back home. We meet up with the Gritten Family at Walmart and let C rest for a while and bought him some medicine. We found some awesome deals on snow gear there. Mike and I bought snow bibs, C got new boots and gloves, and M new snow bibs and gloves. I never ever thought I would own snow bibs again! Luckily C started to feel better and so we headed off to find snow, and boy did we find it!
C was very exited to get out and play in the snow, but he is definitely an Arizona baby because he didn't like being cold! COLD.. COLD.. COLD..!
M on the other hand could have played in the snow all day. She never even mentioned the word COLD once. The entire day she kept begging to building a snowman, but unfortunately the snow was to fresh and would not stick. So she did the next best thing (or so she thought) and ate the snow!
All of the adults were big kids too and had a fun sledding. It took us big kids several rides down the hill to pack the snow down. Thank goodness it was a small hill because by the time we got to the top we were huffing and puffing.
We had such a great time and now that we know it only takes about an 1 1/2 to get there, as long has Mike doesn't make C car sick, we are going to have to go more often.
When we packed up to leave this is what we found. The truck said it was 31 degrees out and only an hour and a 1/2 later we were in 65 degree weather. We made it home by 7:15pm and joined the Michon's for their New Years Eve get together.
