January 10, 2010 Cardinals Playoff Game

So JR & Madeline took Kev & I to the Cardinals playoff game against Green Bay. What an amazing game. It was so fun. We tailgated before the game, there were lots of touchdowns scored during the game it was all so exciting.














This guy was walking through the parking lot and I was taking a picture of him and he was like "why don't you get in it?" So I make Madeline get in it too and we give Kev the camera. Both of us were telling him to hurry up....this guy was real strange. I swear he was copping a feel. And then after the picture he thanks Kev & Jr for letting me put his arms around us for the picture. Weird Bird Guy!!!!

But the best part was "WE WON"!!!!!

January 9, 2010 Bowling

It has been a long time since either of us had been bowling, so my friends Dave & Meredith invited us to go one Saturday to celebrate Dave's birthday. It was really a fun night. I broke 100 2 out of the 3 games I played.

This of course is Kev's favorite picture, me carrying a pitcher of beer. Now if he could only get me to drink it with him.

January 2, 2010 Fiesta Bowl Parade

We decided to go to the Fiesta Bowl Parade, but really didn't have the time to go down there first thing in the morning. So Kev thought that we should just throw our bikes in the back of the truck, park and then ride to where we wanted to watch it. What a great idea. It was so convenient, no fighting traffic, no worrying about where to park, just ride to a spot and watch. Awesome.

When we were walking back to our bikes we thought we got a ticket cause there was a cop on the street giving out tickets when we first got there for people parked illegally. Unreal huh? It would have been but it was only a coupon for some store in the neighborhood.

December 28, 2009 Alicia & Veronica going to NY

Well they're off!!! Alicia and Veronica planned a winter vacation. They are headed back east to Philadelphia, New Jersey and New York. They have all kinds of plans of who to see, where to stay and the most important is going to Time Square for New Year's Eve. Yes those are heavy jackets they are carrying cause it was only 23 in NY yesterday.....heehee. Enjoy the cold weather girls.

December 25, 2009 Christmas at Mary's

Great day at Mary's for Christmas this year.

Our 3 out of towners made it home for Christmas. Colleen from LA, Teresa from Denver and Nicole from Minneapolis.

At first there wasn't going to be enough seating at the table for all the kids, so we stuck Paul in the corner for his own little meal.

Alicia stole her own gift a few times cause she wanted this game, which was really fun when we played it. Barbara stole her own gift as well. They decided you should buy what you want, just in case you end up with it!!

December 25, 2009 Christmas Morning

Sisser was so excited to give Paul her present cause it was the book "Poky the Little Puppy". She told Paul it brought a tear to her eye cause that was what his little stuffed animal dog was called.













There are 3 things that Heather hates to buy at the store, so she got 2 of the 3 for Christmas. The one missing is laundry soap.


















Alicia mainly got cash for Christmas with a few warm accesories since she was going to New York for 10 days right after Christmas.













The funny thing was when Alicia opened her last gift which was a Quesadilla maker. She was like.......Thanks? We were laughing so hard. Kev had won it the night before in the grab bag at his brother's so we re-gifted to our little mexican of the house.

December 24, 2009 Christmas Eve at Jimmy's

We spent Christmas Eve at Jimmy's house, Kevin's brother. His twin daughters each had baby girls this year and they really stole the show. Michelle's baby is a miniature Heather with all that red hair, her name is Peyton. I'm holding Linnea's baby Zoey.

December 19, 2009 Phoenix Greyhound Park

Like the sign says....Be a Part of History. Phoenix Greyhound Park has been around for 55 years and it was the last night that the dogs were going to be running. They are closing the park. Kevin and I went with some friends, Dale & Peggy so we could say we were there the last night. I made one bet on a dog in the 2nd race, only cause it's name was Live, Laugh, Love. He's still running.....

December 19, 2009 Tamale Day

Every year it's planned when Tamale Day is going to be. We go to Grandma Lupe's and get to work. There's an assembly line and we just go to town. I was a spreadder, Veronica was a stuffer and Alicia was a tie er. I brought a dozen home with me and wasn't home 10 minutes and Kev had 3 unwrapped covered with salsa and ready to chow down.

December 12,2009 Connie's 60th Birthday Party

I have this group of friends that I call my "Weight Watcher" friends. We see each other every Saturday and sit in our same seats together and keep each other posted on how we are doing. One of the ladies in the group turned 60 and her daughter threw her a party which we were all invited to.

December 12, 2009 Lily's 2nd Birthday Party

If you've ever heard Alicia talk about her "baby" she means her Goddaughter Lily. She is the cutest little thing and just loves her Nina. It ended up being a nice day out which was good cause her birthday party was at the park. She had this really cute pinata that she just wanted to keep hitting. In fact she got mad when they took the stick away so the other kids could have a chance.
Cece's birthday is just a few days after Lily's so it was her party too.

This is a picture of Cece with her mom Jesenia.

December 10, 2009 Alicia Needs a Coat for NY

Alicia and Veronica are going East after Christmas. They are headed to Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. They have all kinds of plans to go here and there including Time Square for New Year's Eve. Alicia is really worried about the weather so we went out seeking to find her a warm coat of some sort. She turned down the one that made her look like the Michelin Man and is still debating about going back for the hat and warmer set, but she did get the black jacket.
