The Glass Show

Jared, Ethan and I went on a little "family date"...that is what Jared 

and I decided to call our dates when Ethan tags along. We went to the Desert Botanical Gardens near Scottsdale. I wasn't too trilled about staring at formation after formation of cactus. Luckily we went during an art exhibit.  This artist name is Dale Chihuly and he is famous for working in the glass medium. His work is truly amazing! We were very impressed. See what you think. 

Christmas 2008

This was Ethan's first Christmas. We drove up to Idaho to spend it with my family. We had a wonderful time and we were able to spend about 10 days with my family. During our trip we went skiing, sledding, swimming, running, met up with old friends and family, had Christmas eve parties and a new years party, and had a wonderful wonderful time. We had so much fun that I took very few pictures because we were so busy. Here are a few of them that I did happen to take:
