Left Overs

So I had a hard time putting Bre's videos up on the other post so this is my second attempt. We'll see how it all goes. Also, I wanted to put up Cam's pictures from his seaplane training! Those will probably be a little more reliable then the videos.

After a long day of training, bringing the plane up to the shore on the Colorado River in Bullhead City, AZ/Laughlin, NV. After being here I really have no desire now to go to Vegas (if I had any in the first place). This was "Old Vegas" as the signs said. I would hope that "New Vegas" wouldn't be as tacky and this place (as my mom so correctly said) was full of old people. That made me feel all the more weird because we were definitely the youngest people there by a good 30+ years.

The girls and I spent an hour or so hanging out on the beach waiting for Cameron to fly by. We threw rock and looked for pretty ones because that's all there was to do. Either that or go hang out in the smokey casino/hotel.

In the background is our hotel. We're on the AZ side and the hotel is on the NV side.

Flying by!!

Again. I wish I had a better camera...

What a pose!

Kaity really wanted to go in the water. It was warm, but not THAT warm!

Oh, what a stud! He claimed that he didn't know I was taking pictures. Yeah, right.
He had so much fun getting his seaplane rating. It's just a small step in the direction of his dream job, which is to fly one for a living. I don't think he has a preference where (WA would be ideal but we'll take it where we can get it) or doing what just as long as he could.

So the video STILL isn't working!! I'll try and post them on facebook or something else. I'll let you all know by e-mail if I DO get them up and running.

Show Week

Breanne has been taking dance/gymnastics lessons at The Little Gym and she had "Show Week" yesterday where she got to show us all the routines she's been learning.

Breanne and some of her classmates playing "what time is it Mr. Fox?" (I think that's what they were saying)

P.S. I couldn't get the videos to work on here (I'm VERY upset with my computer or whatever is thwarting me!) so those to come later...maybe...

Christmas in Washington

We were able to go home for the holidays thanks to the generosity of my mom. I left on the 17th with the girls and Cameron joined us on the 22nd. When he regrouped with us we headed up to Camano Island to spend some time with his family. They just recently bought 10 acres on Whidbey Island and plan to someday build a house. We went there to play some laser tag in the woods.

And to give the kids a ride on grandpa's tractor

Cute little Kaity

I LOVE Whidbey!! We went over to Ft. Casey to play, yet, another game of laser tag before the sun set.

They look like trouble, yeah?

Back at grandma and grandpa's house the kiddos found new shoes. Silly kids.

Christmas Eve Christmas play. Grandpa is the donkey (fitting), Piper is Mary.

Kaity is baby jesus :)

Breanne is the angel and Benjamin is the shepherd

Christmas morning we were at my sister's house with my dad, cathy, and her daughter and boyfriend. Kaity didn't really grasp the whole ripping presents open idea. Wierd, I was SURE she would.

Still working on the present...

Christmas afternoon we were back at my mom's house with my sister, DJ and Sophia.

Breanne got her very own lipsmakers chapstick. Kaity wanted to try some and Breanne graciously put it on for her.

Cameron came back on the 28th and me and the girls stayed until the morning of the 31st. We were so tired from traveling that for New Years the girls went to bed, probably before 7pm and Cam and I only lasted until 11:30pm. We did rent "Up" and let them watch that before bed.
Happy 2010, Everyone!
