Sunday with Grandpa

I had to work this Sunday, so Grandpa wanted to take Janiece for a road trip for the day.  I think they ended up somewhere around Globe, Az.  Here are some of the pics that they shared with me!!

Our Saturday

This Saturday, we got out of the house and had some fun.  The first Saturday, since the holidays and volleyball have been over.  After I made pancakes for everyone, we did some running around and then came home to walk over to the park with our dog, Diesel!! 

The girls on the playground

Diesel finally out of the back yard. lol (He hates the dog park)

You can't quite see Ciera feet but she is at the top of the slide with feet up and Janiece is at the bottom

Running Diesel behind Luke who is on Ciera's scooter

Luke getting in his exercise, lol.

Then he decides to use both girls scooters, one on each foot, and make the girls run behind him and push him around. lol.

They barely made it once around

Time to play a game, I think they were pretending the sand was lava.

Then a game of frisbee.

I think Diesel was done. lol :)

Then, the girls went to their other parents houses and it was time for our date night!!

Luke brought me these pretty red flowers home the other day, so nice!!

And then dinner at Oregano's (yes, its our favorite!)

No leftover poozkie for you!!!!!!!  :)

New Years

Happy New Years to Everyone!!!!


Hope everyone had a safe and fun new years.  What an adventure 2011 has been and I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store, especially with my lil nephew that should be coming very, very soon!!!!!! :)


I spent most of my new years eve working, but once I was off, me and my hubby headed over to my brother's house for some games, food, and fireworks!
