Random January stuff...

Zoolights @ The Phoenix Zoo with the Gilchrists...

Yes, we acutally left the two younger ones at home... !

Josh, Marisa, Brianna, and Logan .....a very dear family to us!

Dressed for a colder evening in Phoenix!

Wouldn't have been fitting to watch the Cardinals win without wearing our Cardinals gear...!

Pinetop For Some Snow...!

Daddy and Graham enjoying a lazy morning infront of the fire!

Graham and Hudson relaxing after a "hard" day.

Canon's first experience with the white stuff!

A little unsure at first...............

The day after Christmas we decided to go up to the cabin in Pinetop for a change of pace and surroundings.. We pretty much stuck close to the cabin because of all the snow. Brycen and I did take turns going by ourselves to the local movie theater... yeah! We made soup, took bubble baths, played in the snow, watched movies, made fires, and anything we could think of to make it a great first "snow experience" for lil Canbino! Just a quick trip but so worth the preperation of packing up those circus!

Christmas 2008

The only Christmas tree I wanted to fuss with this Christmas Season...

Just after Christmas Eve Service....

We had a quiet low key Christmas this year and just tried to really focus on Family, Friends, and the true meaning of the seasons... baby Jesus birth! All of the boys were dressed up for Christmas Eve service and this year we did something different and went to Auntie and Uncle's church. We spent Christmas morning @ Grammy and Papa Snyder's house and spent the morning diving into a beautiful brunch spread. We then went over to grandma and grandpa MacKinney's house for some relaxing dinner fun and a good fire... We missed Jill and Jeremy this year, but it was the California Families turn to have them... sad! We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season and we wish you all a eventful and successful new year.

Night out with the husband!

He's growing too fast...!

Graham on the left....

The first part of December has been a busy one ( just like everyone else's December)... full of dinner parties and Christmas shopping. Brycen and I have even had the oppurtunity to go out to dinner a few times with the babysitting help of our parents.

I can't believe that we are going to be celebrating with three when last year we only had one little man to look after. God has been so good to our little fam and we are very grateful for everything he has brought us through this last year... We have been helped by some many friends and family and I can't believe that we are coming into 2009! Lots of love from our home to yours.

BIG HUGS....!

Thanksgiving 2008!

Special Cousins @ the zoo.

We put Auntie Jill to work the whole weekend!

The Phoenix Zoo... I love Giraffs

A VERY proud grammy!

We had a very special Thanksgiving weekend with both sides of the family. Uncle Jeremy and Auntie Jill came over from California and spent the weekend getting to know their two new additions to the niece and nephew list. We were able to spend a bunch of time with family and on Sunday we went to the Z00 with grammy, papa, auntie steph, uncle kenny and cousins. We had a perfect day with 5 well behaved children and and a wonderful pot roast dinner to finish off the weekend. Thanks to everyone who worked around us and understood that these babies can make even the simplist of outing into a major deal...

Hope everyone had a special Thanksgiving weekend!

Grammy Snyder made his special birthday cake...!

Big boy Canon munch'n on some birthday cake.!

Canon's 2nd birthday party was a fun CASUAL time of friends and family gathering in our backyard for some cake and ice cream. He had such a special time being with some many of his favorite people, and he even got a bit shy while we were singing happy birthday to him! He is such a delight to our little family and is completely taking on the role of BIG BROTHER... we love you little Canbino.

My Three Sons...!

Graham and Husdon ready for bed...

HUDSON

GRaHam... CAnON....& HUDSoN

Forgive the major gap in time from my last entry... I'm sure I don't even need to express the crazy times that three precious boys can bring... Canon is now 25 months old and Graham and Hudson are 4 months and 1 day old. It is hard to believe that all of this time has already past, but all three boys are adjusting well and falling into a fairly good routine. The twins were measured a few days ago and Hudson weighs 15 lbs 3 0z. and Graham weighs 14 lbs 11 0z. These boys are having no trouble putting on the weight and growing big and tall..

Hugs from the Snyders
