How We Spent The Cardinals Road To SuperBowl Craziness!

Yes, this blog post would have been a lot more interesting if the Cardinals hadn't already gone to the SuperBowl. But, what can you do? Football was definitely a highlight for Jason and I this year. My fantasy team didn't do too shabby! I am slowly but surely getting better at it. It certainly helps that Larry Fitzgerald is one of my receivers! Several years ago, my dad bought season tickets to the Cardinals and we started going to the games with him. It has been a lot of fun! So, this year, Jason and I have joked that the year we leave, is of course the year that the Arizona Cardinals go to the SuperBowl! It is also the year that Pinetop got dumped on with snow! But that is beside the point! We were able to watch all of the playoff games with the Wassinks and Devon and Kristine Kauflin. Us three couples have had a great time getting to know one another! Sorry Devon that the Cardinals had to crush Carolina! Each week we couldn't believe that we were going to the next game. Unbelievable! So our little superbowl party was also a lot of fun! Hannah was the good one for taking pictures of all the action. Thanks Hannah!  

I forgot how much fun it was to wear ribbons in my hair!  How fun to have little girls!  
Doesn't she just get cuter and cuter!
My precious ones!
Kristine, Hannah and I
I will explain the scruffy beard in another post!  He is still the hottest man alive!
Okay, so here is where we thought, "Oh my goodness!  The Cardinals just won the SuperBowl!"



Can they pull it off?

Okay, so maybe they aren't going to win.  So sad!  But hey, what a ride!


Korey Kauflin and Case Wassink. Have I mentioned that these two boys were born the same day? They were a couple of doors down from each other in the hospital. Aren't they adorable?

Wow!  Can't wait for Cardinals training camp this summer!

January Happenings

Wow! Have I been bad at updating this blog the past couple of months. Well, January flew by! I am even having a difficult time remembering all that happened in January. Which is reminding me why I started this blog in the first place! Let's see...
First off, Jason and I are really excited to have several visitors this second half of the year. Two of Jason's close friends, who are also pastors back home, came out at the beginning of January to attend a class at the PC. Jason had a great time hanging out all week, going to class, lunches, dinners, and even a movie! It was a sweet taste of home!
Otherwise, it was a cold month! At least in Arizona when it is burning hot outside, you can still go swimming. Here, you just stay inside! Or at least these Arizonians do! The girls and I fill our time with lots of play dates, more play dates, and even more play dates! We have had a great time getting to know Matt and Hannah Wassink and their little boy Case. Hannah and I were laughing the other week because I think we spent most of the week together. And usually shopping is on the agenda! I have never been a very big shopper, but, well, it is cold here and that is all we can think of to do. And I have totally found the fun in finding great deals!

Another BIG January event was the start of... LOST! We love the TV show Lost! I wish that I could say more about it, but I don't want to ruin it for anyone who is still trying to catch up. But, oooo, this season is going to be great! This is actually something else that we have been enjoying with the Wassinks. They come over on Wednesday nights to watch it and we make this awesome caramel popcorn. I will actually have to post this recipe because it is downright YUMMY! And super cheap! It is in the CLC cookbook.
There was also our biggest snowfall yet here in MD. They have lots and lots of ice here, but this was a beautiful snow that lasted a few days. We had nothing going on the day that it snowed, so I called Amy Briley, a PC wife here, and basically invited ourselves over. This was probably one of my more memorable days here! We had so much fun! Lots of PC families were there to play that day. The main attraction was lots and lots of sledding on the hill behind there house! Both girls got into this and we went over and over again! We came in and out all day, talking, laughing, drinking hot chocolate, and, I got some great pictures!







I am so sad that I can't remember more of the month of January! A big reason to Blog, Blog, Blog! Time goes by so fast!
