Tommy and I took advantage of one of these nice winter days and took the puppies for a hike up the San Tans! BEAUTIFUL!

This one's for you Brie- Hannah finally made it onto the blog without being blocked by Zoey!!

Christmas Eve

This year, Tommy worked on Chistmas day so we spent Chrstmas Eve with his family and it was tons of fun! Tommy's mom always buys the girls some matching pjs...

Good thing we look good in polka dots :) Thanks for the comfy pjs Dorothy! We were lucky to have Kim and her girls Lexie and Missy with us this year!!

No Foolin' this Time!

Tommy and I had a pretty sweet April Fools' joke this past year, so we figured we should provide some sort of proof this time...

Baby Sanfilippo is due to join our family around June 25, 2010. We can't wait to meet baby!

It's almost time...

That's right, it's almost time for moving day! Hopefully when it actually comes time to move, it goes smoother than this- PIVOT!! I am a little frustrated right now- purchasing a foreclosure can be tricky if you're trying to get an actual closing date from a bank, apparently... Anyway, we hope to be in this weekend so we can get a little settled in before the holidays. Wish us luck!!

Home :)

Fun at the CaBiN

We were just getting ready to leave the cabin to head out for dinner when Tommy spotted a little herd of deer out the back window. Hi Bambi!



Extra points if you can spot the deer in this one!

Who's ready for Turkey Day? These guys better go into hiding soon!

Well, the cabin's great for seeing wildlife, but it's great for adventure too! We found the old rope swing we used to go on, and the fact that the tree was half burned up in a wildfire only adds to the adventure, right? Also note the thorny ravine below...


I love this picture- it reminds me of hunting magazines where the hunter is kneeling over their prey with the nature scene in the background.

We *tried* to take some cute pics, but putting animals in the mix complicates things a little!

Goodbye 'til next time! Love, The Sanfilippos

What we've been up to...

Happy Birthday to me!! I am officially the big 2-4. Tommy and I had a great date night on my birthday! Things have been so busy it was nice just to have a calm night out. The rest of the weekend was great too- thank you to family and friends for making it great!!

Ah, I couldn't resist posting this pic of Zoey from the Higley football game. Tommy was a little upset I had the mascot wearing a skirt (which is adorable by the way, thanks Brie!!), but I didn't think there was a problem having her be fierce and feminine! This is the 21st century ;)

School's Out for the Summer!!

(You have to sing the title to the alice cooper song tune)! This is just a little celebratory post that the intense 5 week summer school is OVER!! I somehow completed 2 classes and clinic with adults. Thanks Tommy Boy for putting up with my grump, stressed-out self! Now time to celebrate in Cali- YAY! Happy 4th everyone!
