Hockey!!

I went to the Cincinnati Cyclones vs. Dayton Bombers game on Friday...first hockey game I've ever been to. It was so much fun and they (cincy) won 7 - 1! Here are a few pictures that I took...sorry for the flash in some of them :)

the goalie...yes they were wearing pink jerseys :)

A few action shots

the mascot...his name is Twister and his number is F5 :)

A Fun Filled Day!

I finally got to have a flying lesson today that I had received as a birthday gift last year! It was so much fun...hopefully dad will let me go w/him when he uses his!

Here is the plane we flew in. I wish I would've gotten a picture of Dad & Matt in the backseat! They were quite cozy :)

This is the road that Mom & Dad live on. I put a red box around their house.

We took off from the Dayton Wright Brothers Airport, flew over my parents house and headed to Kings Island. I also saw the Burger King that I occasionally work at. We circled over Kings Island a few times then headed back. I actually got to fly the plane on the way there and back...loved it! Strangely enough I wasn't near as nervous in that tiny little plane as I am in bigger planes!

This evening my whole family went to Longhorn for dinner. After waiting for more than two hours we finally got to sit down and eat...I guess tonight was the night for big groups there!

A few Christmas pics

I didn't take near as many pictures as I wanted to, but here are a few that I did get.

Hannah enjoying breakfast...eggs, hashbrowns, biscuits & gravy...yummy!

Jimmy was heard on Christmas Eve saying that he didn't believe in Santa Claus...something happened to his stocking before Christmas morning :) Although, I believe it was already planned ...

I love trying to think of new/creative gifts for people...a few of my favorites this year were a scrapbook for my Mom and a digital scrapbook for Erika. A few weeks ago Erika, Sara and I spent the weekend creating a scrapbook from our family vacation this past spring. It was so much fun and I think it turned out pretty good...especially for being a first for all of us!

I made a scrapbook on Shutterfly for Erika that was pictures from Hannah's first year. I also had alot of fun picking out pictures for that one...much easier to assemble than the one for Mom :)

Another one that I really liked was for a guy at work...he is an Ohio State fan and my boss and I were trying to think of something for his basement (recently remodeled into a 'party' area). We had thought about a dartboard but found out he already had one but that he could use some new billiard balls. Yep, we found OSU ones...they were awesome!!

I wish I was here again!

With the cold weather that has made its way to the area I am wishing I was back in Arizona!

Some of the gorgeous scenery...makes me warm just seeing it :)

...and the spa, how relaxing it was. I could go for a massage or a facial right now!

What was he thinking?!?!

With THE GAME tomorrow you would think Dad would have gotten his cast any color except for blue! (and of course yellow:))

Hodge Podge of Photos

The cutest, sweetest, happiest baby ever!

Somebody got this for their birthday...and no it wasn't Hannah :) I thought it was quite funny!

BTW...I added the 'sensor bar' to make it more blog friendly :)

A few weeks ago, Sara and I along with our cousin Laurie and her husband Cory went on a murder mystery train ride in Lebanon. It was alot of fun...here are a few pictures of the ride.

It was a Gilligan's Island theme and Gilligan sat next to Sara a few times and 'chatted' with us.

New Outfit

Jax got a new sweater/shirt over the weekend. Some say he is an old man now and needs glasses and a pipe to go with it :) I had to bribe him with treats to get him to sit still for pictures.
