Catching Up

So it's been a while since I have updated our blog. I think it was actually before Christmas. Well, let me bring you up to speed. We had a great Christmas in Arizona with Janna's family. We first went to Grandma Brimhall's in Winslow. We then spent a couple days up at the ranch which was a lot of fun. We had a great time playing games, eating good food, watching movies, and just relaxing. We then went back to Winslow for Christmas eve and day, and then headed down to Mesa. Mesa was awesome, especially the weather. I actually got to play quite a bit of tennis, in DECEMBER!!! It was a blast. Dave and I definitely took advantage of the nice weather with Paul out on the courts. It was the first official Mesa Open. We had a really good time there in Mesa with Paul and Racquels family and Lael and Janie. We also got the chance to play the Wii quite a bit. One night we went and saw the lights at the Mesa temple. It was a bit chilly, but nothing like Salt Lake. Taylee loved the lights and the giant nativity. Taylee and Leah had a great time with their cousins Lexi and Hannah. All in all it was a great Christmas. Visiting Mesa in the winter for the first time was a great thing. I had only been there in the summer and it was always super hot. It's definitely a lot more appealing now.

Well coming back to reality after having a long break was pretty tough, but now were back in the swing of things. Works going well and I continue having a good times with my compadres at G. Brown Design. Taylee and Leah are pretty as ever and continue getting smarter each day. Taylee wrote her name by herself for the first time the other day. She also loves art and coloring. She can spend hours coloring and drawing pictures. She's really good too. Leah loves to get into everything. She definitely has an attitude. She's a blast though. Janna's doing well but is anxious for us to get another car. I don't blame her. She's stuck at home sometimes and I can see how that could drive a person crazy. We'll there's not much more to write but I'm going to try and do better in the future about staying up to date.
