Kaylie's High School graduation!

Spring Break 2009

Our trip to Phoenix for Spring Break! Sorry it's so late.

Jake and Paul went to the Phoenix Suns Game. They played the Cardinals, Jakes favorite team.

In January Kaylie and I took a trip down to St George and ran a 5k. We both finished, but kaylie was quite a bit faster than me, but I was just happy that I finished without having to crawl. We drove about 279 miles to run 3, but we had a great time together.

Happy New Year!

Jake and his cousins, Tommy, Landon and Daniel

Jake and I were the only ones who were there to celebrate the New Year. Steph was sick, and Paul went to stay with her, and Kaylie was at another celebration.

Everyone loved playing "Rock Band."

Sparkling juices just chillin' til the New Year

Jason and Kristi's annual New Year's Eve party. They do it up right. This is the yummiest food we eat all year. This year it was held at Jenni's house.

Megan, Kaylie and Casey

It snowed so bad on Christmas Day, we wondered if we should cancel our Thomas Family Christmas Dinner. We were glad that we didn't . No one ended up getting stuck in the snow, or no mishaps because of the weather, and we all ended up having a good time. The picture is of Jake out snowblowing. Andrew's poor car is the one that has all the snow dumped on it.

Kaylie and her stash.

We made Jake take this picture before he could go down and play with his new X-box

Stephie and her Christmas bounty.

Our annual "sit-in-front-of- the-tree-and-take-a-picture-before-we-can-open-our-presents" picture. Someone seems to be noticeably missing this year:(

Here are Kaylie and Megan playing a fun duet. They planned the program for our Christmas Eve. Including Clayton giving an update on Sports, Marianne giving a celebrity update. Mom, me, Shelli and Jenni sang, Steph, Kaylie and Megan did an "interpretive dance, Jake did a headstand and Bob did a landing a helicopter demonstration. It was fun. Then we watched "Mr. Krueger's Christmas."
