Opps, she did it again...

Remember when I did this last year before a fancy wedding. I did it again last night and to say that Scott was unhappy is putting in mildly!

He's laughing about it this morning...

Happy Birthday, Grandma!!

Stickerman Jackson

Amelia came around the corner and said, "Introducing Stickerman Jackson."

I'm not sure why Scotty let her do this to him...

It wasn't that easy to get those stickers out of his hair.

Zoo Afternoon

We had fun at the zoo on Sunday afternoon. It was Earth Day so it was packed!
We saw animals and went for a train ride but the best part was the water...

Scotty was so dirty.

Bye Junie...

Crazies!

Friday

So this is what goes on when I work on Fridays?!



This is why the pillows are all over the floor...

Awana at the Park

Our Awana Club had a very special night. We had a picnic in the park. The weather was really windy and not hot at all. Scott helped a bunch of the kids fly our kite.

There's our wonderful teacher Gaynor in the center.

Sissy and two of her friends. Alisa and Jasmin.

All lined up for song time.

Some of the picnicing families.

Splash Pad

The high was 97 degrees today so we met some friends at the zoo to play at the splash pad. Mini, Emily and Sailor checking out the fish. These were the only animals we saw today.

Sissy and Kater.

Sailor and Madison with that little hunk in the background.

Finally a splash pad picture.

Scotty liked the sand. He told me later today that he was really sorry about throwing sand at his friends.

These pictures don't really tell the whole story of the love these 2 had for each other. It was a riot!

We spotted a blogger friend.

I'm succumbing to this game of Blog Tag.

We went swimming at Wild Horse Pass and had a great time. The water was warm and the kids had a blast. Thanks Uncle Thad.

Love this guy!

Just talked to my mom who had just talked to the surgeon. They said things went very well and my dad is doing great. My mom and sister will be able to see him in an hour or so. Thanks for all your prayers.

Papa Gary

My dad "Papa Gary" is having back surgery at 7:30am AZ time on Thursday. Please pray for the surgery and for his quick recovery. Thanks everyone.

I was just thawing some chicken...

he thought it looked like fun...

Uncle Thad

Uncle Thad came to Phoenix for a meeting but we got to spend sometime with him too.

He loves the weather and we were showing him the resort he is staying at for his meetings. It's just over our fence and through the desert about 5 miles...

The boys went golfing and the kids and I went to the park.

Tennis

I found Amelia a skirt to wear for tennis this week. Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

She did a great job even with a 100 degree temperature. (Sorry other kids!)

I had to work so I missed all the fun. Let's just say I'm glad I missed the ride home on the 202.

Tomato!

Remember this? Can you believe how big they are now?

We had a little problem... but it's okay because there will be more soon, right?!

Swimming

Does Junie look a little chilly?

Morning Hike

We had a great time enjoying the cool spring morning.

Scotty had fun too.

We didn't quite make it to the top!

The first time he's ever said this in his life!!! Can you hear the excitement in my voice?
