When life gives you lemons...

"When life gives you lemons, find a kid with a paper cut"

Ha ha just joking.

Does life get better then this?

I think not!

Trains Train Trains

I love having boys! I also love their obsession with trains!

For real its an obsession! and its both of them- they just love them!

This week London has been off school for spring break and with Chris working so much (more on that later) we didn't really have anything planned.

In morning Chris surprised the kids by telling them we were headed to the Scottsdale Train Park for the day. They were so excited! Everett lit up.

We had the BEST time. I have been to the park before but never went into any of the museums or saw any of the model trains etc...

Chris and the boys spent a half hour in the museum and Everett left kicking and screaming.

we really had a great time!

5 Years

We moved to Arizona 5 years ago. I really can't believe its been that long. We have loved everything about it here (well maybe not the hot summers)

Its amazing in 5 short years we have had 3 small babies.

We have been trying to do more things around the valley and see everything Arizona has to offer.

We went fishing as a family at the Riparian Preserve in Gilbert. It was such a beautiful day!

We feel so lucky to be here at this time in our lives!

Still got it! (day 151)

I was never a cheerleader, but I LOVED gymnastics. Tumbling was my favorite! Its seems like every family get together my nieces are off "flipping around" I remember those days (see below) Last time I attempted such tricks I was pregnant with London and it didn't go so well.

Today I couldn't help myself. After watching Morgan and Abbie do some major flips I had to give it a whirl. I did mine on the tramp, but still!

(me as a little girl-this was a everyday thing for me)

London started gymnastics again this week. She is loving it!!

Happiness is...

Flower Power

It is so fun to see the kids playing together more. London LOVES Rett! Rett lets London do what ever she wants to him. They have a cute relationship.

The flowers in the pictures are MINE, but for some reason London has to have them ALL in her hair at least once a day. I love that she likes to look like a girl, but can hang with the boys.

Flowing Springs

We took another trip to see Daddy

This time we went on an amazing hike through Flowing Springs (near pine)

We had a blast, but it was FREEZING!!

One restless 2 year old...

One fussy baby...

One quick trip to the park...ALL cured!

Where we live "fall" comes in January

Christmas

Christmas this year was simply wonderful. It was all about the 2 year old girls! London LOVED spending Christmas Eve and Christmas day with all her Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents and many cousins. Christmas morning she was surprised with a kitchen from Santa and cousin Arden was surprised with a doll house. It was a Christmas never to forget. Oh, to be a 2 yr old girl-to tell you the truth i wish i could sit and play with her kitchen all day, my real one has too much reality attached.

We had a wonderful Christmas and hope you all did, too.

Good times!

We had so much fun with my sister, Sarah and her family here for the week. Her kids are so cute, but I must say little LIZZY is my favorite (wonder why?) Chris had the best week with Dan golfing, seeing "guy" movies etc...
