More fun with Kirsty!

Fun at the Zoo!


Feeding Denver, our favourite giraffe at the Zoo.


Painting our nails and discussing girly things like flying fast jets.

New Year's visit with Kirsty!

We had so much fun with our friend from the UK, Kirsty. She is an amazing pilot and we met her while stationed together in the UK. I told Maggie that she was a pilot. Maggie replied, "I'm a pilot too. We have alot in common and alot to talk about." Kirsty is so busy with her new job so we were excited to get a chance to catch up with her. We miss her already!!

8 Months Old

Katherine loves daddy. She likes to giggle. She likes it when we sing this little light of mine. She likes to practise yoga with downward dog. She stares at her big sister in awe. She loves avocados, bananas, sweet potatos, green peas, blueberries, apples, pears, and cheerios. She can scoot across the room on her belly. She loves to go for walks. We take her everywhere and she just smiles. She loves her paci to sleep. She loves to lay sideways in your arms to fall asleep. She says baba, dada, baba, dada, baba and babbles all day long. She really likes mommy right now and cries when strangers first hold her. She sleeps through the night: down at 6:30pm and up at 5:30am. She is so super cute and we love her. x

Katherine on Christmas Morning

Christmas Morning

For some reason the pictures have loaded backwards. So... we will begin with the aftermath:

Maggie so excited to open her Hello Kitty box. She loves Hello Kitty! Well, she actually calls it Huckle Kitty.

Coming down the stairs! She actually slept until 7. We were expecting her to be up at 5:30 or 6!

Christmas Eve Hike in Sabino

Weather was really warm on Christmas Eve. Perfect for a hike in the Canyon.

Christmas Catch-up

We had a great Christmas. It was the first year that Maggie was so excited for Santa to arrive and bring her presents. She asked every morning for weeks if it was Christmas yet! Uncle Johnny, Sean, and Baba came for the holiday. We hiked in Sabino Canyon, enjoyed the hotel pool, and had wonderful tamales for Christmas Eve dinner. Christmas in the sun and warm weather was really nice.

Snow on the Mountains!

The first light dusting of snow in the mountains.

Mom: "Maggie are you excited for Christmas?"
Maggie: "I am excited! But... Boy oh boy... Daddy is really excited. He won't stop talking about it!"

On the MOVE!

Winter in Tucson

Winter begins today... It will be 74 degrees! Lots going on in our house this week. Getting ready for family to arrive and for Santa. This morning daddy and his girls made a sleigh and hopped on to deliver presents! Another big development... Baby sister is almost ready to crawl! Pics to follow.

Nothing is more fun than riding a little zoo train with a little girl.

Visit with Santa

We had so much fun at the squadron Christmas Party. The girls loved Santa! Baby K loved his beard and pulled and pulled at it.
