Close up of fabric, check out the updated website!

Boo..Hoo...

Who else is tired of turning on the TV

and getting nothing but

Michael Jackson?

Bless his little soul, enough already!

Ridin' the rail....

Hoke's dad has been wanting to ride the lightrail

and Hoke had today off, so we went and got them

and caught the rail.

All was well until a van ran into the front

of the train at 7th Street and Washington.

Just a minor 15 minute delay and

a good story, only to us!

We rode it to the end and then got off and turned around.

We went back to Chase Field and had lunch

at Friday's Front Row.

I think they are enjoying themselves...


This was the view from our lunch table. Fun day!

Babysitting...

Emily, Sarah, Baby Olivia and I

went off to shop....

Uncle Trent and the boy's stayed behind

This is what we came home too.

They love their Uncle Trent

I'm happy to report that no one was injured!

Houston being a silly boy!

and finally, cutie pa-tootie!

Sweet summer corn...

Sweet corn is from

Freeman's Corn Patch

on Brown & Center in Mesa...

the best...DE-LISH!!

"Duper" day...

I went with Emily and the kids today

to Kids Club at the mall...Meet Duper (the Chipmunk?)

Cousin Trey, Tobyn & Easton joining in the "march".

Dancing a liitle jig on stage


Tobyn and Easton
having some fun, Olivia...not so much!

Of course we had lunch, played on
the toys and rode the carousel.
My batteries in the camera pooped out
so no pictures, I think I pooped out too!!

Adventures in Pine...

Some of us "girls" ventured to Pine today...

A few of my favorite stops along the way.

My mom was raised in Pine...

She's by the historical marker of the house

that her Grandpa Randall built.

The shed her Grandpa built in the back of his house.

A few of the treasures that found

their way home with me

Can't wait to create...

Fleurs...

What a nice surprise - what a guy!!!

Girls Camp...

Hi-ho... Hi-ho... it's off to camp we go!

Fun times...

Camp was great, but "there's no place like home"... Toto!!

Birds...

This is our bird aviary...

The wild love birds love it too, they come to
get drinks out of the misters,
Somedays there could be as many as 20 or so
hanging out

Isn't this the sweetest... True lovebirds.

Two of our six cockatiels

...and a few of the 20-30 parakeets in the aviary.

Helpers...

Helping Papa cover up the trenches of the water break

Finally some rest...

RUN - Chickens - RUN

VICTORY!!
