Attorney Retreat 2015

 

This year Geoff's Attorney Retreat was at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess Resort. This was our 5th retreat and so far our favorite one.  The rooms were nice sized, we had a beautiful view of the grounds from our balcony and our building was located next to the shops and in between the swimming pools.

 

The kids and I hung out at the pool and enjoyed the complimentary snacks provided by the firm while Geoff went golfing on the golf course that the annual PGA Tour is played on. Kaden went down the water slides 24 times. :)

 

 The resort hosted a techno glo pool party one of the nights we were there. It was so much fun!

Boating Season is Here!!

Boating season is here and we couldn't be more excited about it. There is nothing more fun than spending quality family time out on the lake. We all LOVE boating!

Easter 2015

                                     This year Kaylee decorated all of her eggs as Minions.

                                        Kaden went with the monster/alien theme for his eggs.

 Kaylee helped me plan the Easter breakfast & dinner. 

We made homemade cinnamon rolls for breakfast.

 For dinner we had a honey glazed ham, cheesy potatoes, rolls,

green beans and fruit.We had carrot cake for dessert.

                                   This year the kids found their Easter baskets in our closet.
                                        (after following the clues left by the Easter Bunny)

Kaylee saw this cake kit and wanted to use it to decorate a carrot cake for Easter dinner dessert. She helped make the cake and she decorated it all by herself. She did a great job, the cake was delicious!

San Diego Getaway

 

 Geoff had a business trip in San Diego. He was kind enough to let the rest of us tag along. We stayed at the Hilton Bayfront Hotel in the Gaslamp Quarter area.

 

 The kids and I enjoyed hanging out at the hotel pool and sweet shoppe while Geoff attended his conference meetings. We extended our stay a few extra nights to have some quality family time and go site seeing.

 

We took a day trip to La Jolla Beach, which is one of our favorite places. We love the sea lions!

 

       We took a day trip to Tijuana. The kids had fun bartering in the shops for souvenirs. 

Valentine's Day 2015

I love how Geoff is teaching Kaden how to be a good husband and father.  He told Kaden that Valentine's Day is all about the girls. :)  The boys surprised us with roses and homemade cards.

This was Geoff's card to Kaylee.  I love how thoughtful he is.

We (the girls) made a nice dinner and dessert for the boys. We also ended up going miniature golfing together as a family. Normally the kids are not invited on our date nights but there had been a lot going on and we felt like we needed to spend some quality family time with them. It ended up being a really fun day.
