Zoo Pals

A few weeks ago playgroup was at the zoo. These are Annie's little friends, Nicholas, Anne, Lucy and Tommy. They all had a ball together! It was so much fun!

Making Pizza

Anne got to help mom make dinner for the first time the other night. We made pizza, and she had a ball helping me roll the dough out! (and tasting some too:) A little brag, I made her little apron all by myself! (Ignore her messy hair!)

My new skill

I'm a bit embarrassed to admit that until a few weeks ago, I had never actually mowed a lawn. Growing up, my dad wouldn't let us mow the lawn, because he was afraid we'd break either his lawn mower or a few sprinklers. After getting married, Justin has always done the mowing. Justin's allergies have been bothering him while mowing , so I offered to take over mowing duties. I've done it a few times now, and have to admit that I kind of enjoy it! Justin of course had to take pictures of my first lawn mowing experience!

5 years and still going strong!

Justin and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary on Thursday. I'm still head over heels in love with Justin! Here's to another fabulous 5 years!

Time Out for Elmo

I had a "proud mommy moment" at church today. During Sacrament Meeting, Anne took her Elmo doll and did the following:

Put Elmo on a chair and said, "Time-out, one minute." Then she walked away from him. A few seconds later, she went back, knelt down in front of him and said, "Time-out, babble....babble..." Then picked him up and gave him a hug and a kiss.

Learning a new skill...

Last weekend Justin and I went to Front Sight for a birthday party for Dave, Justin's dad. We took a defensive handgun course. It was a lot of fun, but also very educational. I would recommend it to anyone who plans on having a gun in the house. The below picture was on the last day, just before we left. Justin had already taken his gun off and put it away, so that is why I look so much cooler than he does with a gun on my hip!


Annie got to spend the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa. She was thoroughly spoiled, and had a great time with them! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Crazy AZ Weather!

Last night we had the biggest storm that I've ever been in! We had winds up to 100 mph and 2" of rain. There was so much lightning, it seemed like strobe lights. Along with the lightning was a steady rumble of thunder. Our power was out from about 9:30 pm until about 1:30 am. We have some friends that live just up the street whose power is still out over 24 hrs. later! Luckily there has only been 1 serious injury reported and no deaths. But driving around and seeing the damage is pretty crazy! Here is the worst that we saw.

This is right next door to us.


Just a few blocks from our house.


Annie slept right through it. She woke up once, but the storm had calmed by then, so I'm pretty sure it wasn't the storm that woke her. It was pretty crazy, but we survived!

A Day of Fun in the Sun!

So we've moved! It's only a few blocks from where we were living before, but it's great! We're in a house now, and we have a little yard. We bought a little pool and we were given a slide by Travis and Cassity (Thank you!). Put them together, and you get TONS of fun in the sun!


We had Lucy, Anne's friend over to play the other day. They had WAY too much fun! I think that the pool the the best place to eat popsicles! (Absolutely no clean up :)


Raisins are best when shared with a friend.


And who knew that laundry baskets could provide so much fun!
