Christmas time has come and gone!

Boy was it an awesome Christmas this year! 

It was Avery's first Christmas and I have to say he enjoyed it very much!
Michael's parents and sister came out to visit and spend the holidays with us. We had such a good time with them here, we didn't do much though because somehow Michael got sick. (Someone always gets sick during Christmas time). 
Tae and Avery woke up, well we had to wake Avery up, on Christmas morning and three hours later we got done opening presents. They got a ton of clothes as well as even more toys. I think we could open a toy factory here we have so many. As I type Michael and Tae are in Tae's room playing with his new Christmas train that Grandma and Poppy gave him. 
It was such a good Christmas and now we are ready to ring in the New Year!
I'm going to stop typing now and just put up a bunch of pictures! 

Here are the pictures that would have ended up on a Christmas card had we sent them out. So Merry Christmas to everyone who was suppose to get a card! 




Also indeed we had are first EVER white Christmas this year!


And here are pictures of Christmas morning,




        






Tae and Avery got awesome presents from Santa this year. Tae got a bike and Avery got a walker!


Happy Birthday Jesus! If it wasn't for him we wouldn't have this glorious day to spend together! I am so thankful that I am getting to know Him more and more! I can't wait to teach my kids the meaning of Christmas and what it is really about! 
Until next year, see you all in 2014!

All moved in!

Sort of... Just waiting for our stuff to get here! 
The drive from Mesa to Fort Morgan was a long one, 16 hours and 5 minutes to be exact! The kids did amazing, we seriously got so lucky. They only started fussing when we got stuck in traffic for an hour in Colorado Springs! Tae didn't go potty in his seat at all. We stopped on the side of the road at least 15 times. Once when we stopped Tae had a great conversation with Michael: 
Tae: no daddy I want to go potty in that tree 
M: no Tae go potty right here in the rocks. 
T: no daddy I want to go on the tree
M: no Tae right here 
T: okay daddy but you get me a white rock 
He seriously made a laugh when we arrived at the hotel and he had like 20 rocks! 
We got into the house and are working on making it are new home, it will help when we have furniture. 
We are slowly but surely adjusting to the weather. Being from AZ I never understood why people had separate waredropes for summer and winter, being here I understand it now. You can't wear shorts in CO in December! 
I'm currently working on making friends :) I found a few social things to attend which helps get us out of the house. 
I am looking forward to living here though, it's something different and forcing me to branch out! 

Leaving AZ! 


All bundled up and can barely move!! 

I will post pictures of the house after the goods arrive :)
