From oldest to youngest, they each got a turn. How about that static hair? Oh to be close to some of our cousins… (we missed P on this because she was a little nervous with the kids jumping but who could blame her?)
When in AZ last week, I just HAD to pull over and check out the cotton fields. Who doesn’t love a puffy ball of fluff? I also HAD to show the kids! Zane was pulling on the bushes and ripping apart the cotton. Zoe was smelling it, touching it and handling it gently. Boys and [...]
I’m not one to admire the beauty of the cactus but I’m just sayin’… I don’t see these on a regular (like I’m going to ignore you ‘cause I see you every day) basis any longer. There are many things (not including people in this list because that is a given) I miss about AZ [...]
Every picture is starting to look like this. He is really trying hard to get the perfect smile. It is so funny, I just had to post a day in the life with this guy!

This was out take on what we usually do at the end of April. Instead of going to Utah this year, we did a trailer trash version. We stayed in the trailer and had our own little classes in the morning. I loved learning from the other girls and discussing and sharing! I didn’t take [...]
I had heard about the Boyce Thompson Arboretum a while back and after taking a recent adventure to Superior, I decided I wanted to go check it out, with my family. That was bad choice number one. Then, when I told my dear little family about the place, I told them it would take about [...]
