Family Pics

We tried to get a few good family pics while we were down there because we take so many of the kids and not very many of us as a group...or of just the kids and Josh and I in general:) We also added one person to our family in one of these pics...more on her later!

PHX Zoo

 Pedro the Donkey...Rowan would have watched him all day:)

Note: It's gonna get a little mixed up, we went to the Zoo the first day and Ren Fest after that but the pics will mix together to try not to make for posting all month long!

WOW! Flip Flops in March!

Still mowing the last of the snow, but what a beautiful way to come home from AZ...picnic on the driveway and flip flops in March? Yes please!

Beware the Eides of March...is that how you spell it?

Ok, nothing ominous here...just thought it was a fun title. Here's the start of our adventure SouthWest... I hate flying, so I think I did pretty well considering we had a turbulent flight down with a medical emergency right in front of Josh. The kids didn't even know about that and they thought the bumps in the air were fun...after looking at me to see if I thought it was ok...which I was good at hiding;)

Rowan is now in love with airplanes...he spent most of the trip pointing them out everywhere...giant giraffe? Who cares, look there's a plane! Swimming pool? Who cares....look a plane!!!

Cactus Crazy

Ok, I'm going to start doubling up some days or we will be looking at AZ until July...Here's my cactus craze. When I asked Rowan to tell me what "that" was and pointed to a cactus, he said "Mine, no touch it!" He can actually say the word cactus too, but I thought his response was better!

Flowers of AZ

I'm not just a bird nerd, I'm a flower child too, I guess:) Mom, I thought you you a LOT down there with all the "bogey's"...different styles and colors even...but I guess I only liked the traditional version.

Happy Belated!!!

OK, so here's the deal...I was a terrible daughter yesterday and missed posting a Happy Birthday to my amazing, awesome, wonderful, fantastic dad...We love you Papa Tom! In my defense we spent most of the day on an airplane on the way home from sunny AZ so lots of pics to come this week...But here is one of the Man of the week! We are celebrating Dad on St. Patrick's Day...killer Irish Birthday Party:)
