A Taste of Cold Weather

On Thursday, the kids and I headed up to Pinetop to visit Grandma and Papa Tindall. We were excited to see snow because they got a ton of it last week. Unfortunately, the snow had all melted, but the weather was still freezing. We had so much fun hanging out with Grandma and Papa. Bradock got to enjoy a little bit of an early Christmas, since Papa couldn't wait to see him in his "new Escalade".


Bradock was having so much fun playing with the little doggie door. Don't you just love the simple things that make kids laugh?

While Bradock was playing outside, he discovered Grandma's hiding place for his Christmas presents...they learn so fast. Grandma gave in and let him ride his new scooter. Luckily, Bradock is still young enough that she can wrap it up again and he'll never know.



What a little stud muffin! When I sent Brett a text of this pic, he text back and said Bradock better not be getting any wrong ideas about what he'll be driving in high school. Looks like dad is going to be a scrooge and make you drive what mom used to...a yellow 1978 B-210 Datsun...whoohoo!!

Bradock loved his new truck and gave Papa a big hug for the fun gift.

Bradock was a little scared of pushing the pedal and making it move, but he sure loved looking at all the little gadgets and stickers and getting in and out of it.


I couldn't forget my cute little girl. Miss Raylee sure is getting big and growing up so fast. She loves being the center of attention and likes to be held up, so she can see everything.

She also loves to grab things, especially mom's necklaces...what can I say she's a girly girl.

She sure does love those hands.

Back to home sweet home. We were so excited to see Dad.

Now that Bradock is in a big boys bed, he sometimes doesn't end up actually sleeping in it. He loves to play in his room and when he gets tired, he just crashes. The other day, I was finishing cleaning my bathroom and Bradock wasn't playing in my room anymore, so I went to find out what he was doing. I walked around the corner and the door to his room was shut. I cracked it open and my sweet little boy had shut his door, crawled up in his bed, snuggled with all his blankies and went to sleep...it was only 9:30am. I don't think he's ready to drop those morning naps yet.

I was playing on the floor with Raylee and Bradock had to get in on the action.


Isn't she such a cutie? I love her cute, big brown eyes, her dark, long eyelashes and that adorable black hair. I can't believe I have already had to give her several haircuts.


My dad and I had a date night Saturday evening. I have been dying to see High School Musical 3, so my mom said she would watch the kids so I could go with my dad. We had so much fun. When we got to the theatre my dad asked if I wanted some popcorn...are you kidding; do you even have to ask?!! I said I would love to share some, so I went and got some seats while he got the goodies. When he came to join me he had 2 XL bags of popcorn. I started laughing because when it comes to popcorn my family just doesn't like to share. Needless to say, we both scarfed our bags and enjoyed every minute of the movie. I totally get my love of music and dancing from my dad (not that I'm talented in either, but I sure love to listen and watch). I love that my dad appears to be a big, burly masculine man, but he sure loves a good musical anyday. Thanks for the date dad. I had so much fun!!
