I've been lazy...

I have been lazy on the whole blogging thing but don't worry, I have lots of pictures to post! Here they are, not in order but we can't be too picky when we are so far behind.

Eating can be so exhausting!
Last Saturday Desert Ridge had snow brought in and a bunch of christmas activities for kids so we brought Carly to see the snow. We unfortunately didn't have Cayson last weekend so he didn't get to go with us, too bad cause he would have had a lot of fun. It was fun and Carly was so cute sitting in the snow. After the snow we enjoyed completing our christmas shopping!

(see how she is looking at the snow...what the heck is this cold stuff that I'm sitting on!)
We made gingerbread men for family night a couple of weeks ago. Cayson had a lot of fun decorating them and eating the extra frosting. Notice the gender confused gingerbread man...Thad has such a fun sense of humor. Cayson and I were decorating our cookies and I hear Thad laughing to himself and there he is laughing about his cookie he made.

Carly was the cheerleader for decorating. She also chose the winner...sorry Thad but you didn't win.
Mom, Carly and I went to Malibu the first weekend in December to visit some of her friends from her "Bunny" days. We had a lot of fun with Jenny and Sandy seeing the sights and shopping. Jenny almost lost her house last year during the Malibu fires. The back of her house was burned down some neighbors lost their homes completely. I had never been to Malibu before and it is beautiful there. This picture is at a restaurant called Geoffreys that was majorly overpriced but had the best crab cakes and lobster bisque that I have ever had.
We went for a walk down the hill from Jenny's house and found a house with some pretty gates. My mom brought her extravagant camera and took some beautiful pictures of Carly and I.

Jenny's husband Neel and 5 of their 6 dogs. Check out these names...Mr. Facke, Mama Lodee, Elodee, Portney Foy, Lilly One and not pictured is Luther. They bark and bark and bark!
Mom, Carly and I went to the Santa Monica pier and walked around, went on the ferris wheel, visited the aquarium (Carly touched a starfish) and went shopping at this really cool outdoor shopping center. Oh the shopping, I only wish I had the money to spend!

Okay, not completely caught up yet but its a start! Enjoy!!!

How fun that they had snow! I didn't know about that. Sydney won't even remember it from last year. Those were some cute pictures. Glad you updates!

P.S. Would you mind giving me your address? You can email it to me at lesliehatch at gmail dot com

Oh wow Carly is getting so big, and she looks so much like Thad...I always Thad would make a cute girl!;)
I love Santa Monica, too! The shopping is unreal...it doesn't take much to outdo Iowa Shopping Malls!
