Queen Creek Christmas Festival

On Saturday we went to the Queen Creek Christmas Festival at Desert Mountain Park. So fun!!! There were rides and the playground and fun things to look at. It was pretty cool outside so we couldn't stay long but my voice studio sang in the performances they were putting on! Here are some pictures from the fun day!

Thanksgiving Day Hike

Thanksgiving morning our family went for a hike up ASU's "A" Mountain. It was beautiful! 80 degrees a light breeze and a great hike. For those of you who don't know Johnny and I got engaged in "A" Mountain back in April 2001. We haven't been back since and decided it was a good time to go!















Getting ready to do the steep part of the trail.














Here's the "A"!














A bird's eye view of Tempe Town Lake.














Me and my kiddos.














ASU's football stadium.




























Phoenix is way over there in the distance...














Taking a picture where Johnny proposed to me...














Our way back down...
