Rachael turns 14

Racheal turned 14 today.  We had a darling cake and cupcakes, which she doesn't like, so we also had brownies.  This is how we party.

Flairs first meet

Nathan began his season with his home meet. The pictures did not turn out well, so I gave up after one event.  But I did better during the awards.

Having teenagers is so fun, especially when they are being asked to a dance. Way to go Nathan!

We helped him eat these!

We are just about to being Nathan's final season as a gymnast. He will be competing level 9. Here is is bar dismount.

Down on Grandpa's Farm

Every year after the Holt holiday party, we try to head over to Blythe to spend time on Grandpa Holt's farm. The kids love feeding the cows, playing on the haystacks, picking oranges and having a hot dog roast with the cousins.



 Megan loves feeding the cows

Annual Holt Holiday Party

Each year on or around New Year's Day the Holt's get together for their holiday party. We have been hosting it at our house most of the time since we moved to Arizona.
