New Year's Eve 2009

We had a laid back New Year's Eve this year. We went out to dinner with Mac's mom and my dad and had some yummy Mexican. It was my dad's last night in town before starting out on his long road trip back to Iowa. We loved having a lot of our family here this year for the holidays and hopefully we can all get together again soon. Mac & I are looking forward to the New Year and all that it will bring. We are especially excited about this summer. Mac's brother, Wes and his family will finally be returning to the states from Germany. He is going to be a Blackhawk trainer in California and will be close by. We haven't seen them for almost 3 years, so we are looking forward to seeing how big our niece Lucy has gotten (she is now 3 1/2) and meeting our nephew, Boswell (13 months) for the first time. We hope the New Year is filled with good health, happiness, and new experiences for all our family and friends.





I love to jump!

Cooper finally tried out his jumper. I think you can tell from the video how much he loves it!

World Wildlife Zoo

We all went to the World Wildlife Zoo in the West Valley of Phoenix. Even though it was a little bit of a drive to get there, it was definitely worth the trip!
We all had a great time and enjoyed seeing all of the animals up close.
