Christmas

Zoo with Cousins

Jack and Kate goofing around at the zoo with their cousins.

The Disgruntled Reindeer

Jack performed for parents and friends at school and then had Christmas cookies and punch. Needless to say he was more impressed with the cookies than the singing.

Preschool Thanksgiving

Jack invited his family to his preschool Thanksgiving meal. Before the meal the kids dressed as Pilgrims and sang songs.

Birthday Party

Jack and Kate celebrated their birthdays together at a party with friends, family and a large bouncer.

Tombstone

Jack and Kate took a trip to Tombstone. Although Kate liked the gunfighters, Jack found a car more his style.

Kate is 2

Kate had a fun birthday. Although she will have a party with her brother and friends next week, to celebrate her actual birthday she went to the movies, had lots of sweets and enjoyed a few presents. She loves her new backpack and wears it constantly.

Jack Swimming

Jack graduated from his ISR swimming lessons a few weeks ago.

ISR Graduation

Kate is finishing up her ISR swimming self rescue program. She had to perform her skills in her winter clothing and then she got to change into her swimsuit. Jack is having fun in the lessons too. He started a couple weeks later than Kate, but stay tuned for videos of him.

Colorado with Grandma and Grandpa

Kate and Jack took a road trip with mom up to Colorado to visit grandparents for the week. They took hikes, picked lots of dandelions, and Kate kissed grandma's porch bear every time she came and left.

Horseback riding

Jack and Kate went to their cousin Emily's riding lessons with her. Kate had a great time hauling her bucket of goat food around and feeding any animals that would take it. Jack got to ride Emily's horse when she was done(and used her helmet). Jack jumped on, pointed to the road and told the horse he wants to go that way..
