Escaping the heat

It's fun to swim with these kids. Sariah is starting to be confident in the water, and she loves swim lessons. Up until this year she'd been very cautious - which was just fine, but it's fun to see her in the deeper part of the pool enjoying the water.
Kaden is a water baby, he has so much fun swimming. He'll even laugh and stick his head under the water. Silly boy!

This is what happens...

When your 4 year old sister does your hair:




Wonderful, superhero-ey Curt decided to clean out the garage earlier this evening while I was at Riah's swim lesson. I came home to an immaculate garage, and the knowledge that !14! black widows had been calling it home before they were squashed by Curtzilla. Scary!

Does this make me a soccer mom? :/

Sariah has been telling me for a long time that she's been wanting to play soccer. We finally put her in this year. She is super energetic, and LOVES soccer.

Happy Earth Day!

On the mend

For the first time since Kaden was born, we're all sick at the same time. Needless to say, it's been a fuuuuuun week. :(

It's all good. Most of us are feeling much better than earlier in the week, and Riah got to return to preschool. When she came home she drew me some "mail":


What's in the envelope?



She says it's a no cats allowed in the street sign for my room. :)





It's hard to believe he's so happy when he's sprouting 4 new teeth. Poor little guy!

Fun at the museum

I found a blogging app for my android. Let's see how well it works! It would be nice to be able to blog from anywhere with pics that i take on my phone:

We went to the phoenix children's museum this afternoon, the kids had a blast! I wish we lived closer, it would be great to go more often.

Tres Rios Festival

Wow, long time no blog.

Today we went to the Tres Rios Nature & Earth Festival, and had some fun in the desert! It was at Estrella Mountain - which is beautiful!
We walked around and looked at the animal exhibits and booths.

Sariah got to make a few things:

Making a kite
Decorating a walking stick

Ride a train made of barrels:

...and pet some fun animals:

Giant snake!
Giant snake coming to eat Kaden's feet!
This guy was talking about how one of his birds split his shoulder open last year, owch!
Fishing with daddy. :)
She caught one but had to throw it back.

Kaden had fun too!

This boy LOVES to swing!
He kept popping his hat up like this, so silly!

Happy anniversary

Curtis and I were married 6 years ago today. It has flown by, has it really been six years?? I feel like the luckiest duck in the world to have married such a wonderful, funny, witty, and kind-hearted man. I love you Curtis!!
