Yes, I did it- ME!

Yeah! I am so proud of myself. :) And MJ too, she was soo good to sit still.

Thanks Mom for the super cute Cupcake hair tie. Thanks Em for the link!

DAM!!!!!!!!!!

What did the fish say when it hit the wall? DAM!

I wanted to take pictures of the new DAM road/bridge:

Crack kills part 2

Zooooooooooooo

Mark had a conference in Phoenix, and we thought we would tag along and play while he worked. Good idea at first, but being in a strange place with little kids all by my self was more work than I originally planned. BUT, we had an excellent time at the ZOO!

My favorite was the Giraffes.

But the girls seemed to like the non-exotic animals or even just the water they drank I am hoping the highlight for MJ was the Camel ride

We finished up the trip by stopping for a super exciting tour of a candy factory. OK, so not exciting at all, and we lasted an entire 3 min on the tour. MJ didn't even want to stick around for the picture.

But Jens loved it!

Grandpa Hersch turns 90

PARTYYYY?? Because Grandpa turned 90. Good times :).

SLACKER!

I have been bad about posts this month- so I am going to try and catch up :)

Crack kills

Miss Independant

Yesterday Maissie was going to play with her friend up the street. She informed me as soon as she found out she was going that she would walk up there her self. NOT with me. Her friend house is about quarter mile and I wasn't 100% that she new which house it was (all the houses look the same). So I told her she could go, but we would follow her. So she walked about 100 yards in front of us (Jens and I walked with Angus). She kept turning around to check to see where we were. But she made it, and didn't wave good bye or acknowledge we were there :)

Pump it up! or not

Good times at pump it up!! MJ and I loved it. Jens thought the drinking fountain was just as good.

Christmas is comming the Goose is getting FAT

Christmas Week was awesome!!

My brothers were all home (they decided to stay home after Gpa Bob’s funeral).
Monday Dec. 22 was the annual Hafen Christmas P A R T Y.

Maissie decided she wanted to sing a solo (Jingle Bells)


Ok, so she got a little stage fright and needed some help, but it was still super cute.

Some how I missed pictures of the trombone song by my Mom, Arthur, Sam and my Dad.

Tues. Dec. 23 we ate at Lindo Michuacan (sp?) only like my favorite place to eat. Then we went to watch the fountains.

Wed. Dec. 24 we had a surprise visit from Auntie Em, Mario, Ben and Oreo who were on their way to Utah.

We ate Tamales YUM, and went to see the lights at Ethel Ms.

Christmas Day was super fun. We got these awesome wiggle/coaster cars. My Grandma Kathryn, Aunt Donna and Uncle Ross came for dinner.

Maissie had a blast opening presents. She didn't care whose name was on the gift, she opened all she could. Jens was mostly observing. Maybe she is thinking of strategies for next year?
