Ski Santa Fe

Cathy and I spent a few days in Santa Fe, NM to snow ski and just spend some time together. It was our first trip without Emma Reese and boy did we miss her! She got to spend time with Abby and Kelly, my Mom and Sister, and her wonderful daycare provider Rhonda. A big thank you to each of you for taking care of our angel while we were away! Cathy and I really enjoyed our time on the slopes. It snowed Saturday afternoon and all day Sunday so we had lot's of fresh powder. We also spent some time at 10,000 Waves. A Japanese style spa just outside of Santa Fe. The massage and hot tub were outstanding!

Sorry we have not blogged in awhile. Sometimes you get so caught up in life that you let some things slide. I try to do this every week to ten days, but obviously that hasn't been the case lately. We are doing just great! I took Emma to the doctor this week and she is 35 inches tall and weighs 28 pounds. She is in the 15th percentile in height and 25th percentile in weight.

Unfortunately her first visit to pediatric dentist Dr. Doan (a wonderful female Vietnamese dentist) she has decay in some of her teeth. Today Dr. Doan filled all her cavities, but because of her age and small mouth, we had to do it at Mercy Hospital under anesthesia. She did awesome and everything went well!

Cathy is busy with cheerleading so we go to lot's of basketball games. She and Bethany (her co-sponsor) have decided this is going to be their last year to coach cheer. It has been quite a run with four NCA National Championships, one NCA Grand National Championship, and three class 6A State Cheer Championships. Someone will have some big shoes to fill :)

I have been going to most OKC Thunder NBA games and usually go to Cathy's games too. I am in the PC North musical again this year. We are doing "Guys and Dolls" and it has been alot of fun getting ready for the shows. We are supposed to have some serious winter weather tomorrow so I am thinking this will be a short week for us. Hope everyone is well. We'll try to update again soon. Blessings to everyone!

We started an awesome tradition this Christmas season called "The Elf on the shelf". If you are interested in it you can go to: www.elfontheshelf.com for all the details. It is an awesome tradition for young children and Emma wakes up every morning wanting to see where the elf is.

Thanksgiving Time

Love my new hat!

Is this new toothpaste mom?

We had a great Thanksgiving weekend and have so much to be thankful for. Abby and Kelly spent the holiday with Kelly's family. Candice is in Japan but will be home the 22nd. We had Thanksgiving dinner at my sister's house and went to two OKC Thunder games over the break. Our friends the Hobson's from Massachussetts are in town and it has been good getting to see them! Looking forward to an awesome Christmas season!
