Little Issac is definitely an easy blogging target. He's a pretty
funny little boy! Tonight as we were walking out of the grocery
store, he spotted a Transformer balloon. He said, "Mom, mom... it's a
Transformer balloon; 'Transformers, where a kid can be a kid!'" He's
hillarious!

Issac and I took advantage of the recent snowfall by going up to the
Santa Fe Ski basin on Friday. It snowed the whole entire time we were
there! Last year we bought snowboards for Christmas and other gear so
this year we were prepared. It was pretty cold but we had such a great
time! Our friend Brett went with us and skiied. He was told by the
ski patrol that he "should stick to the beginner slopes" and that he
"was a hazard to other skiiers"!! Hahaha! He ended up doing a good
job and we all enjoyed our snowboarding/skiing adventure!

This morning was spectacular! Issac and I woke up to the kids singing
happy birthday to Jesus! It was awesome! We opened presents with the
fire going and then I made a big breakfast. Right now we are playing
Bingo and will be getting ready to go to Grammy and Papa Ed's house
soon!

Tonight was an awesome night! We were invited to Jim & Becky
Mullane's house, owners of the Dixon Apple Farm. They have an amazing
house in an amazing location! We started off our time by playing in
the snow. Caleb & Ikey enjoyed sleigh rides being pulled by an ATV.
Issac enjoyed driving the ATV around and Courtney rode horses. Next,
we had frito pies for dinner. There were so many different toppings, I
felt like a kid in a candy store! Frito pies are definitely my
favorite food! Becky also made some homemade apple cidar that was SO
good! Finally, it was off for a hay ride in the snow. They had a red
tractor topped with a wreath - it was like something out of a movie.
We rode through the apple orchard were we could see a fire in the
distance. As we got closer, the fire became a large bon fire and we
stopped there to roast marshmellows and warm up. All the while, major
snow was coming down on us! I've never had such an experience in my
life! I really felt like we were in a Christmas movie. I'm so
thankful for the Mullane's and their heart to bless us. We will
definitely have these memories forever!

We celebrated Caleb's birthday at It'z today. If you're unfamiliar
with It'z, it's very similar to Chuck E Cheese but with better food
and cooler games. We had a fun time and were joined by Nana Sue,
Auntie Felicia, and Brett. Brett rode Spinoli (a spinning ride) with
the kids so Issac and I wouldn't get sick! It was definitely a fun
time with the family!

I can't believe Caleb is 9 years old. I remember when he was a baby
and he was so big that he could only army crawl. I also remember him
being referred to as "Tank" at daycare because he was always
destroying stuff. He's come a long way since then. He is such a cool
kid! He's funny and super smart. I'm so happy that God is shaping him
everyday and I pray that he would grow up to be a godly man. Happy
Birthday, Caleb!

On Saturday, a few people with the church went out and delivered
Christmas gifts to children who have a parent incarcerated. We took
some of the middle school students and also one high school with us.
It was so awesome! We prayed in the car before we went into each home
and after we gave the gifts, we shared the gospel and prayed for the
families. We had such a great time and God was glorified!

My office is located at a pretty prime spot in Santa Fe. It has an
awesome view of the Sandia mountains and I get to see some pretty
sweet sunsets. This is what I saw as I was leaving today and I
couldn't help but say out loud, "God is Awesome!"
