FEBRUARY- A Month in Review

So the entire month of February was spent in Arizona. David headed back to Afghanistan, leaving the kids and I the opportunity to spend some quality time with the family. Jocy got a brand new puppy. Needless to say, Malia was is seventh heaven...

Jocy and I took the opportunity a few times to load the kids up into strollers and head over to the nearby park. We were quite the sight with 5 kids in tow! Although the park had great play equipment, the kids opted to play by a tree...

We also went over to Metro Center for the kids to play. Here is Abram conquering Saturn...


Malia, Queen of the Planets...


Lots and lots of climbing...


Awww.... Gabrielito and Malia, primos forever!

The kiddos, minus the non-walker Abram! Alex, Malia (with some attitude), Gabriel, and Tony...


A more pleasant face...

On one of our many walks Malia received her first real knee scrape. Oh, the drama...



Nothing a Pet Shop band-aid can't heal! Although, the pout still stuck around...


The kids decorating a cake for Grandpa... Happy Birthday Gabriel!


Double Trouble... Love these boys!


The band-aid fascination continued...


Another fine looking young man... Gabrielito... Great kid!


Abram enjoying some peaches. Enjoyed them so much he felt it necessary to put them in his hair...


We ended the month of February with a real bang! Literally. Some guy hit us. Totally his fault. A minor fender bender but what a hassle! Fortunately, insurance stepped up and most things were dealt with quickly. The car was fixed within the week.


So there's a bit of what we did while visiting Arizona. I have other great pictures that I took, but unfortunately they are stuck on my phone! Almost caught up... now on to Abram's birthday!

Were you alarmed by how much a tiny dent costs to fix? I guess we should have gone into autobody work. Malia looks so much like you (well, the darker version of you).

I always enjoy picts of your kids, so adorable. By the way are you related to a Ryan Caley, 30 years old. Walked into a truck damaged it, then was hit by a van. But no serious injuries.

Um--who gave little man Abram permission to grow up so fast?! Holy cow!

And Malia--what a beauty!

So glad that you got to spend time with family. Looks like you got to do a lot of fun things. Was it hard being at the in laws house for a month? I could probably stay a month at my in laws, but not with my mom.
