Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas to all of our dear family and friends!! We had another exciting year! The most memorable event was the birth of Kyle in early March. Learning to transition to 3 kids and still do all of our activities has been our year! Our summer highlights include an awesome trip to White Fish Montana with Jason's sister Jen and her family. We all loved it! As Ryan said the other day, "I want to go back to Montana...again and again and again." It was so much fun. I also took the kids to Lake Mohave with my family while Jason had to work. Jason got to get away for a short guys golf weekend with his brother, but otherwise we've been home bound with the baby! We feel very blessed to have work, all be healthy, and happy. We're looking forward to celebrating the holiday's with Jason's family in Scottsdale. We hope you all have a safe and memorable Christmas and a wonderful New Year!!

Love,
Jason, Trina, Jayne, Ryan, Kyle

November

For an early Christmas gift we gave the kids passes to Disneyland. It's been a while since we've had them and Ryan barely remembers going. I took him and Kyle after school one day. We had so much fun! It was Kyle's first time. The park was already decorated for Christmas. We met up with a few of Ryan's friends and had a great time!
Happy Boy!
Poor baby didn't get to keep him nap schedule that day. He was so tired he crashed on the tram on the way to the car. Poor 3rd child gets dragged everywhere :-)
The boys and I helped chaperone a Girl Scout field trip to the fire station. Ryan thought this was really cool too.
Jayne's Daisy Troop
I'm so happy we're almost over having the 1:30 church start time. Ryan was a mess and needed a nap but we couldn't cause we had to leave for Church. I was getting ready, and come down the stairs to find Ryan totally passed out on the middle landing of the stairs. Poor guy.
Thanksgiving Parties!! As room mom, I got to help coordinate Jayne's Thanksgiving Feast and go help with her party. Ryan had his party the same day at preschool. He sang songs and got to have his feast!
After the parties, I took all three kids to Disneyland! Jayne was so surprised to get her pass and so excited. She hasn't been for a long time.
I decided to be very brave. Besides taking all 3 alone, I decided we'd stay until bed time. It was a special treat to stay for dinner, the parade, and the fireworks. They even has a special parade for Christmas and make it snow!!
We almost never stay that late, but I have to say it was really really fun! Here's Small world, all lit up for Christmas! It was a very magical day. We missed Jason.
We got to go back to Disneyland on one of our Thanksgiving break days with a whole bunch of friends. Almost the whole boat was filled with friends. The kids loved it, of course.
Happy Thanksgiving!! The kids were all ready to eat our amazing Thanksgiving feast! We had a great day at my mom's house enjoying family.
Kyle fell asleep on the way home from Thanksgiving, still clutching his football that Ryan shared with him. So cute!!
Kyle is now crawling and sitting up really good! He loves playing with the kids.
Kyle also has 1 big tooth and a second tooth is just visible above the gums. He still HATES baby food, but is gradually starting to eat table food. His favorite food- quesadilla's, just like his brother. I love my little blue eyes :-)
