When Nate came home on his R&R he had a surprise already planed for me. While he was still in Afghanistan he planed a surprise renewal for our anniversary. I had NO IDEA what he was up to and didn't until the flowers where put into my hands. It was wonderful and can't thank him enough for that day. It was a wonderful ending to his visit.

Nate came home for two weeks of R&R. He is now back in Afghanistan. We loved having him for the short time that we did and can't wait for him to come home for good.

Nathaniel's 3rd Birthday Party!

Well the newest member of the family has arrived!! We are excited to have Caden in our lives now. Payton makes sure everyone knows he has a new little brother and Nathaniel can't hold him enough. He was 7 lbs 3 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Everyone is doing fine.

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We went home to Arizona for two weeks. We flew into Las Vegas and stayed a couple of days there. Then we were off to Papa and Mamaws house. Chris, Carolyn, Mackenzie, Grandpa and Grandma all met us there. Yes we had a house full. It was the first white Christmas the kids had and we took advantage of it. After we took them sledding all they wanted to do the rest of our stay was to play in the snow. After our time was up with Papa and Mamawa we went down to Scottsdale to spend time with Grandpa & Grandma Dabney, Matt, Michelle, Bryce, Emma, Caleb, Grace and William. There we played on the playground, went to the zoo and went swimming. It is funny to think that in the same trip we went sledding and swimming. Our trip went by so fast and we were sad to leave. Thank you to everyone that made this Christmas the BEST Christmas yet.
