A Day in the Life of Us

It's been popsicle weather lately!
Dad and Pete read tons of books every night. Isn't watching your husband read to your kids a moving sight?
Jamie's pony. Keeps her hair under control and out of her eyes.
Pete wanted an astronaut party for his birthday. I ordered space themed stuff online and he was so excited to get them in the mail this week. I can't believe Pete turns 3 in 4 days. Have I ever mentioned that time flies?

This and That

My boy put stickers all over his legs today. We don't wear pants much, can you tell? :)Yogurtology the other night. There is a frozen yogurt place by our house where you get your own yogurt, add your own toppings and pay a huge amount for a perfect bowl of yum. We are cheap, we don't let the kids get their own, but we bring our bowls and dish them out some of ours.

That is a snake in the road. We had a scorpion in our house the other night. This is going to be interesting.
The kids and I went garage sale shopping today and happened upon a sale with a hundred owls. Someone used to collect them. Jamie must have picked up and looked at every one. If I could I would have bought all of them for her. We came home with two of them.

Arizona Game and Fish Expo

Last weekend we went to the Game and Fish Expo just north of our house. It was heaven for P. and Pete. Literally, heaven. Jamie and I had fun too. It was a whole giant outdoor area full of outdoorsy things to do. I am pretty sure we could have spent the whole day there if the kids didn't almost pass out from exhaustion about noon. It was a neat thing to do as a family, we all saw and did neat things and I can tell AZ is going to be the perfect place for my husband and boy.

Pete's first experience with fishing and catching fish. You could actually see the fish swim up to your bait, take it and then you hooked him. It was very exciting and Pete was giddy with excitement.Pete's first fish.

Jamie playing in a hunting blind.Giant turtle.

The family with Smokey.
Jamie's heaven. The owl tent. She watched a group of about 8 different owls in amazement and wonder for as long as I would let her.
What do you see Jamie? Jamie pointing at the big owl behind her.
Checking out some horns.
Checking out some Cabela's tents. Pete can't wait to go camping.
Watching cowboys race horses while shooting balloons off orange cones. Very entertaining, Jamie hated it. The guns were loud. She hates loud noises especially loud trucks and the vacuum.

Boat Ride

Friend's of Uncle Bob and Aunt Edna's (our friend's too) have a boat. I guess I should give them a name since I will probably mention them again often. Dan and Joyce have a boat on their lake in Sun City. We went for a ride last Thursday night after being treated to another yummy dinner at Furr's. It was another wonderful AZ evening but we really have got to start hanging out with people our own age! :)

Jamie and dad didn't get to go because we didn't have another life jacket. I found one at a mom's consignment sale Friday so now we are all set to go next time.
