Since I missed Blake's picture on the first day of high school, I thought I'd post some football pictures! Blake, as well as the whole freshman team, have practiced basically NON stop since summer started. A week of football camp in the White Mountains in July, 6am workouts every day and practice in 115 degree heat...he's been a trooper! I'm very proud of my football player. He's number 78 and plays first string Offensive Guard. Love you, Blake!
Because I'm a horrible, terrible blogger, I'm just now getting around to posting our back to school pictures (from mid-August) in October. :) Hallie is a 6th grader, and Chase is a 2nd grader. Blake started high school this year, but I didn't get a picture of him before he left. Here's to a good year!
I'm actually posting this ON Luke's 2nd birthday so we haven't had a party yet (though it is planned for Monday!). This week Nate and I took Luke to the Phoenix Zoo to as a special treat for his birthday week. It was amazing weather and Luke adored having Mommy and Daddy to himself for a few hours. What a treat! He seemed to especially enjoy petting the goats. :)
I'm only a month late! Christmas 2010 was a great one. Santa brought Blake a cool new mountain bike, Hallie an electric keyboard, Chase received an electric scooter, and Luke got a Cozy Coupe. As a family we bought a flat screen tv and the boys scored an XBox360 from their Dad and Grandparents. Talk about a big Christmas! On Christmas Eve we went carolling with the Farnsworth family and had a cute nativity scene at the Barlows. It was a very memorable Christmas.
