Weekend Getaway

David had Saturday off (finally..they dont come often) so we decided to take a day trip up north. We really had no plan. So we went to Prescott. WE went to Montezumas Castle and then explored Prescott and Prescott Valley!

Happy to be out of the car!

Dont worry mom, everything is a-okay

Pretty walking trail

LEaves!

Castle..I cant believe people built this!

Rocks!

I was really hoping we would see a squirrel

Family Pic

Prescott Valley has a Night of Lights you can drive through, my camera was not cooperating and David wouldnt let me use flash since we were driving, so here is the best picture I got...

Being goofy in the car

It was fun and definitely might become a tradition when David gets time off on the weekend!

Night Of Lights...Take 2

Friday Night Morgan my mom and I went to see Zoolights. I remembered my camera yay!

Watching the light show...

Such a good baby!

Our little monkey

Insomnia, and other things.

I cannot sleep and no one is online (obviously) since its about 1 AM. I was just checking out my parenting weekly birth club. The lovely ladies who got me through my pregnancy answering all my questions! Anyway there was post about how many Christmas presents we should get our children. Now I have no idea how many children we will have, but it would be a good idea to start a tradition early. I got some great advice from catey who has seven kids. Her advice was so good I thought I would post it on my blog! Here is her advice on buying Christmas Presents and it even rhymes!

"Something you want, something you need, something to wear, something to read"

What a great idea!

Hang up your stockings with care...

Davids work has a tradition where the whole staff comes in and decorates stocking that they then put around the restaurant. Morgan and I went and helped David make his stocking. We tried to outline her hand but she was a little wiggly, so it looks like a deformed alien hand but still cool. Check out my nifty snowman wearing a steve nash jersey. Always love an opportunity to usethe word nifty :)

Morgan ate while I did all the work...

Alien hand...

Finished product - go suns!

More Faces of Morgan Fiore

Morgan makes the silliest faces, especially when the camera comes out. Here are some recent pictures!

Fiores at the zoo...lights!

Yesterday we took Morgan to zoolights and my camera battery died! So, I was able to screenshot the pictures the zoo takes when you come in. It was gorgeous and Morgan really enjoyed the lights (though she slept a lot) she also saw elephants, flamingos and more! Morgan and I (David has to work) are going again next Saturday, so I will make sure to take lots more pictures then! I did buy a film camera but didn't get a chance to use all the pictures yet. The experience really made me want to come back and get zoo passes, but I think we will wait till the Spring when Morgan can enjoy it a little more!
