Bring a Friend to Dance

Gabby and Morgan

Little Boy Blue

Even though he is already 26 months, I still have to pinch myself to remind me that he is mine. Oh how I adore this little man of mine!!!

Hoe Down Venezia Style!

Gabby's school had a family Hoe Down at Western Trails Ranch in Morristown, Arizona! It was not exactly right next door, but the drive was definitely worth it!! The girls learned some country dances while enjoying hoe down grub with good friends.

The Next Food Network Star

Pancake Sunday!

The girls love being in the kitchen.

Gabby loves watching the food network almost as much as Daddy.

Her favorites include

Giada de Laurentiis, Guy Fieri and Alton Brown.

Today she helped Daddy make

Alton Brown's "Instant" Pancake Mix.

The pancakes were delicious!!

Gary and I decided to begin 2010 with a new tradition. I read about One little word last year but I never took the time to really follow through with it.

This year will be different. Gary and I are seriously committed to Simplifying our life. We believe that by simplfying our life we will be able to truly enjoy what is most important to us; our family.

We are excited about this new challenge and are really looking forward to a wonderful year ahead!

 

Happy New Year!!!

We decided to bring in 2010 with some goofy glasses and homemade donuts.

We are VERY excited about the coming year and are busy making some New Year's resolutions.
