Playing in the rain!

Monday night (July 20th, 2009) we were all inside watching a movie when the rain started pouring down! We all ran outside and had a blast. Daphne had her first taste of Arizona monsoons and to say the least, she wasn't all that inpressed. Dylan, however, was laying in the gutters and having a ball! What fun!

Pirate's Day!

Dylan has been going to Summer Kamp (yes, I know how to spell camp, however, some of our educators do not!) this last week and has been having a blast doing all kinds of pirate things. On Friday he got to dress up like a pirate, Ahoy Mate'

Daphne's 10 months old

This month Daphne has grown her first two bottom teeth and has taken her first step. She moves extremely fast, loves to eat leaves and is so close to being able to walk by herself. She bring smiles to our house and is always full of laughs.

4th of July

For the 4th of July Adam, Amy and Dylan spent the weekend in Show Low at Adam's boss's cabin. We enjoyed ourselves with quads, bikes, horseshoes, golf, guns, and friends. Adam tried his hand at shooting guns and ended up at the Emergency Room getting 5 stiches to the head and a tetnous shot. However, either way we all had an enjoyable time!

Daphne's 4th of July

This 4th of July we spent with Adam's boss up at his cabin in Show Low. Daphne stayed behind and spent time with DeeDum. She really looks cute in her 4th of July dress!

Amy's Schooling...

Amy has been enjoying her classes this summer, and in Biology class we have been doing many dissections. A sheep's brain and Pig's heart are just a few!

Circus Fun!

After dropping Daphne off to play with Papa Sanders, Dylan, Adam and I all jumped onto the lightrail and took it in to down town Phoenix to US Airways Center to watch the Circus, Zing, Zang, Zoom!!! We had a blast acting like clowns!

Daphne is 9 months old

Daphne is one busy little girl. She loves to crawl around the house and get into anything she shouldn't. She LOVES clmbing. Climbing into the dishwasher is a joy of hers. She also loves to crawl all over anyone and everyone. She is very brave. She has also just had her first tooth come through the gums! She is having a blast spending part of her summer with her big brother and Papa Sanders. She is loving the Pool! Wow! I can't believe my baby is already 9 month old!

Dylan's last day of First Grade

Peaches!

On May 17th, 2009 we loaded up the kids and headed to Schneff Farms (right around the corner) to pick peaches. The kids had a blast. We picked lots of peaches, Adam juggled a few, and Daphne fell asleep from all the excitment! Now we have lots of peaches to make peach desserts all week long! Yum!

Puppet Show

Dylan loves to put on Puppet Show for the family. Since Daphne has entered our lives, he gets lots of audience participation, and he didn't even ask for any! He is so gracious to Daphne and didn't even put up a fight. He simply just gave her a puppet of her own to play with! I have the best kids ever!!! And get to watch the best puppet shows ever!

Summer 2009

For Mother's Day we celebrated at Jeanie and Mike's house for brunch and a swim. The whole family loves being in the pool!

Daphne is 8 months

Daphne is 8 months old. She is crawling everywhere. Loves food, especially strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries (definately mama's girl)! She has found her voice and the rest of the family has found earplugs. She is gaining weight and is ALWAYS smiling. What a blessing she has been to all of us!!!
