Watch out Sophie!

Sophie's Daddy has been talking some smack! Now this is what she gets!!

Thanksgiving in Arizona

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving day - and then went out the day after and tore up Saguaro Lake with Little Gramma and Grampa's new waverunners!




Daddy took Joss out for a ride.


Doesn't it look like she had fun?!



Then she fell in the water - she is not from Montana and the AZ water is COLD!












We found a way to warm her up.















Jackson had fun too!

Playing at the Sand Dunes.

We loaded up and headed to the sand dunes near Yuma.

Joss got to listen to some tunes on the way...



She got to do some of her own sand-duning in Maddie's Jeep!



Shawn and Brandon getting ready for some fun! (before the ticket and the bike breakdown)



Is she tough or what!?!
Despite efforts by Travis (Jessica's bro-in-law) to have her look at her toes, she managed to stay upright even with this helmet on!

The New Matthews Family

Here is the New-and-Improved Matthews Family. Charlee Addison Matthews was born October 29th, and is just so sweet. Joss and Jackson just doubled up on cousins.

Yes, Caroline just gave birth and looks this fabulous!



If you're wondering what this glow is, Charlee is sweet AND radioactive - I guess the combination makes you glow...

Happy Halloween!

Here is Jackson's first time dressing up as a penguin riding around in a stroller in the dark.

Joss got to be a hula girl. The flowers didn't make it out of the car, and her lei didn't stay on long enough to get a picture taken.




Joss did pretty well. She fell a few times, skinned her knee, got scared once (good thing she's still in diapers), and made out with a bunch of candy - The O'Leary Blind boys will benefit from this little outing!


The O'Leary Blind boys had to do a big install, but we got to go with the Warns and Auntie Jessica and Little Gramma. Joss and Maddie had so much fun together!


For some reason, when you tell Joss to smile, she sticks her tongue out!






I think they liked it, maybe even enough to try it again next year. Any suggestions for costumes?!

Viva Mexico!

We took a vacation with Shawn's parents to BEAUTIFUL Cancun, Mexico! We had so much fun in paradise! We did the Selvatica zip lines and flew through the jungle. We played on ATVs and Jetski's in the super warm water. We saw Mayan ruins in Tulum. We snorkled with the fish in Xel-Ha. And we drank all the (virgin) daquiris and pina coladas we could drink! We're ready for another vacation!!

Joss and Jackson at the Pumpkin Patch

Joss and Jackson went with Mom and Gramma to the pumpkin patch. We love Phoenix in October!!

Hay is for Horses!

I had to be quick with the camera to prevent Jackson getting hay in his face!

Joss, Jackson and I went to the farm, with my friend Natalya and her little boy, Michael. Joss had her hair in appropriate piggy tails, but they didn't make it to the farm, so they ended up being goofy-hair the rest of the time.
