A year gone......

Well this has been a crazy year.....A lot of good and some bad.....

We will start with May.....On Memorial day weekend we went to Boulder Creek to see friends and family and go to Boulder Creeks annual Art and Wine festival. After we were done at the festival we went to the Hatch Families house to have a BBQ and some fun....a bit later into the night the guys went out back to play some baseball and one of our really good friends Timmy Hatch got hit by the ball in the head...It was a horrible night, one in which I would love to forget. Early the next morning Timmy slipped into a coma. To this day Timmy is still in the hospital and we are waiting for him to come back to us. He has had a lot of improvement and doing many things the Doctors said he would never do...He is in our payers daily.

June was the Cassen family reunion in Arizona.....it was a lot of fun...We went down a few days before the reunion and did some fun "tourist" things. We went down the famous highway 66 and saw some of the historic museums. We also went to the Grand Canyon for the first time in all of our lives and stood on the skywalk...It was very expensive but awesome...as we told the girls it was a Once in a Lifetime experience.
When we returned we actively started House Hunting....It was a long, stressful and discouraging time....We finally found "our" home....We got our key October 1st...The best day of our lives! The funnest part of this too is that our street name is Grand Canyon...Can you say coincidence????We have been slowly but surely getting the house to be exactly how we want it...I have painted both the girls rooms, Mackenzie is a Rock Star theme and Emma's is like a Princess theme...Jon and celebrated our 7 year wedding anniversary and had a wonderful weekend kid free...We went to San Francisco and saw a movie, went out to dinner and just spent alone time together (which doesn't happen to often)Thanksgiving came next....Usually this is a crazy holiday for Jon and I...But since most of the fam was busy Jon and I hosted it at our new house...Jon's fam came and my mom's gang came....there were about 17 people there all together...It was a lot of fun, I cook all the dinner for the first time ever! Everyone enjoyed it a lot....Emma helped cook too....She mad the Cranberry Sauce all by herself...it was very yummy...And here we are in December....less than 2 days from Mackenzie turning 7 and a week away from Christmas...Its been a crazy year and we can't wait till next! Happy Holidays to all!!!
