More Togetherness

This weekend we went to Phoenix for Sterling's graduation from Embrey Riddle. First of all, congrats to Sterling, you made it through. It was fun spending some time with Sean's family, we don't get to do that kind of stuff with them all that often. We had a great time, enjoying what is cold weather for native Arizonians, but warm for us. We left snow, and came home to it. Monte loved the desert, and all the cactus, and Jared is one more stadium closer to visiting all the baseball stadiums in the MLB. It was just a quick trip, but totally worth it.

December, Oh, Family Togetherness

I told Sean that as a family we have not seen that much of each other, so December is our month of family togetherness! Ya, Sean is sooo excited (sarcasm). So we kicked it off with the day after Thanksgiving tree lighting down town Ashland. At least Maile and Kai got to see the parade on top of Jared and Uncle Sean. And for all of my other friends who got snubbed by waving at me, it wasn't me, it was Summer, and so is the person in this picture.

The boys have started scuba lessons, so that means every Tuesday and Thursday nights, yes together for three weeks at scuba lessons. The boys are having a blast. Monte swims around the bottom of the pool as fast as he does everything else in his life (walking, talking, eating, etc.). And Jared is a diving prodigy, with everything done just perfect.

Sean's most favorite part was yet to come, we all went to his guard weekend with him. He was so excited I can't even tell you how excited he was. But we did have fun. The boys got to swim in the pool at the hotel, and we got some Christmas shopping done.

We will keep you all up to date with the rest of the events that we have coming up, there are quite a few, and it looks to be an interesting month.
