Coby LOVES Oreos, here is his Oreo face!
Trey came home from school yesterday saying,"Everybody's a critic". Good thing is he didn't learn it from school, I think it came from Spongebob.

Mark's Outdoor Times
Mark is scratching his camping itch this weekend and next. He built a fire pit in our backyard and then we roasted marshmallows and and sat around it. We also went out quading by Lake Pleasant. We were supposed to BBQ hot dogs, but he forgot the propane. We did have our picnic table set up, snacks, drinks and pudding (which you can probably see on the faces of the boys). We rode around some trails and then in the open area the truck was parked in. We took a beautiful drive to Castle Hot Springs.
Okay time for a little AZ history lesson...Castle Hot Springs was the first resort in Arizona, it also was the first telephone number given out, number 1...should I try and call it?? It is called Castle Hot Springs because there are 3 natural pools that 400,000 of water fill a day. It opened in 1896. Many soldiers from WWII came for rehabilitation. JFK stayed for 3 months. There was a fire in 1976 and it has not been an operating resort since then. There are caretakers that live there and will not let you on the property. It is for sale...anyone interested in going in on it with us?? I could definitely soak in a hot spring all day. HEE HEE

Trey's News
Trey got Student of the Month for December! His awards ceremony was last Friday. He got a free meal for Red Robin, so we went yesterday for lunch because he had a half day. The weather has been warm so we went to the park for a while after.
Today was the school's Freedom Run. Trey got first place for all of first grade! He has a incredible amount of energy. We have been hiking a lot and he usually will run and always stay ahead of us.
He has his first basketball game tomorrow and is excited.
He is such an amazing brother. He will always share anything he has with Coby. Today he got a two stick popsicle after his race and the first thing he did was break one off for Coby and ran over to give it to him. We did not even have to ask. Trey will do ANYTHING for him. If we want Coby to walk while hiking, he runs to Trey because he knows Trey will carry him. He always knows who to ask when he wants candy! Coby will do the same also. When he gets something out of the fridge or pantry he gets one for Trey and if I give him something he will say,"One for Trey too".
The other night Coby wanted me to hold him instead of going to bed. I took him upstairs and put him in bed with Trey (they have to sleep together, hence the new bunk bed with a full on bottom). I stood and listened at the door and Trey said,"Mom can't hold you right now, come over here and I will hold you. Tomorrow mom will hold you".
I thank Heavenly Father every day for their sweet spirits and we are blessed to have a constant reminder of a child's kindness and innocence.

New Year 2009!!
For New Year's eve we went to Westgate for a family event.
They had music, games, coloring, magic tricks, balloons and face painting.
We had to wait in line for a long time for Trey to get his face painted, so we took turns walking around. They had a balloon drop at 10:00, but we didn't quite make it that long. We cam home a watched a movie. Coby and I passed out. I woke back up at 12:30, just missed it!!
You can see in the pictures that Trey has lost a couple more teeth. He pulled one out on Christmas and the day after. So Santa and the tooth fairy came!!
