Brad & I at Eric & Julie's wedding last Friday

Eis anyone?

Corin enjoying some Eis (ice cream) - his favorite treat. His wound has healed remarkably well in 4 months - the scar is fading nicely

Happy Fathers Day 2010!

All of the kids enjoying "Hop(ping) on Pop" for Father's Day!
Thanks Brad - you're a great dad! :)

"Don't Bug Me!" The boys' favorite phrase, and their favorite PJ's

Alex's "Invention Convention" project - he had a great idea, and wouldn't you say he's quite an artist? Ok, but he did provide the idea, while Brad & I can make quite an impressive Great Wall of China project. :)

Alex earning the "Attitude Is Everything" award

Katie earning the "Attitide is Everything" award as well as the Principal's List award for all A's

Alex receiving his Basketball Belt Loop from the Phoenix Suns' mascot, the Gorilla

Our first family campout! We went up south of Flagstaff and we were frozen! The lows got down to freezing, while we were used to near 100* in Phoenix.

Cub Scout Camp! A sea of orange boys....

what do boys like - BB Guns & ....

Archery! They let the parent leaders try these out after the boys had a few turns; I didn't try the BB gun as I've never touched a gun before, but the Archery was fun - reminded me of gym class in high school....

Finally finished!

Our front landscaping is finally finished - at least until I have another idea, but not until fall when it's not so hot

here is what it used to look like - not bad, just wanted it different....

Happy Easter!

HEY! Where are our treats????!!!!

You'll have to search for them this year.... :)

lots of treats and toys....

You look like you have too many, I'll just have a few......

Found another!

everyone is happy (and about to have a major sugar rush)....

Yum! Chocolate!

Field Trip!

Katie's school class was going on a field trip this day to see a high school musical entitled "Urine Town" and since it sounded completely disgusting, I decided to have our own field trip; we went to the cannery and canned our own food storage, went to the Natural History Museum, then to the Mesa AZ Temple grounds to eat our lunch, then a tour through the visitors center. I'd say this was much more educational that that musical. Sometimes I really wonder about the quality of the schools....
