Peach Picking
We went out peach picking on Sunday morning. It was awesome. The peaches were so good, the day was beautiful and we have great memories of our first Memorial Day weekend in AZ.

Trying his first picked peach.
Trees full!
Handfulls of peaches.
Got two mom!
We picked peaches and Jamie ate them. She ate about 5 herself just while we were there. Another couple in the car and another couple later in the afternoon.
Oooooh, they were so good.
Another peach for Jamie.

Splash pad at the local outlet mall. AZ has these awesome play areas for kids everywhere so you come, shop, eat, spend your money, and your kids get to play. Win-win. 
The water won. Pete got soaked by one.
Going into the stroller to get something.
Got the wipes. One of Jamie's favorite thing to do, pull them out, one by one.
After a fun day of peach picking, exploring Prescott, AZ, shopping and playing we headed home with tired kiddos and some great memories of a another perfect day in our beautiful state.

Pears
The pears we bought were ripe and ready to eat yesterday. Jamie ate one and a half of them so I had to stop her so her brother could get the last half. We need to buy more pears, or plant pear trees, or something. Here are some pictures of Jamie gobbling them up by the mouthful, juice dripping down her chin and arms and loving every bite. 




Ready for another one.
How much do my kids love pears? Some mornings I will ask Pete what he wants for breakfast and he will say, "A pear." Anyone want to send Jamie Harry and David pears for her birthday? :) But once you go Harry and David, it's hard to go back......
It Is Well

Monday and Tuesday
Monday the kids and I went to Tot Town. They won't be having it for 6 weeks so we went one last time. What a great place. The kids play, have a good time, my house is not being destroyed and they have all these new toys and kids to play with. Oh and I get to sit and watch. It's a very nice time for all.
And Tuesday we went to a farm. We have made a friend at Sprouts, a lady at the check-out, and she invited us to her farm. We finally called her this week and went over to check it out. We had so much fun. Ms. Karen lives on 2 acres literally in the middle of town. All the houses around there have 1-2 acres with gardens, animals and barns. She didn't have a ton of animals but it was ok because the kids were much more interested in all the "toys". Here are some pictures....
Pete and a cows butt. There were 3 baby cows, a mom and a dad. And tons of chickens. Ms. Karen sent us home with 2 dozen extremely fresh eggs. Next time we go back hopefully there will be some eggs for us to pick ourselves.

Driving the John Deere all over the yard.
And a heavy duty John Deere tricycle.
And a tree-house. A really awesome tree-house.

Mr. Ed digging a huge hole for a pig roast this weekend.
Watching the back-hoe from a bulldozer.
Pete found a wheelbarrow. He LOVES wheelbarrows. Especially wheelbarrows he can push around on a farm in his snow boots. :)
Driving the giant John Deere.
And boy did they have fun toys. It helps that Mr. Ed and Ms. Karen have 6 grandchildren in the area so the farm is loaded with stuff just right for Pete and Jamie.
Good old-fashioned tire swing.

We had such a nice day on the farm with our new friends. They were so nice and so sweet to the kids. We are blessed to have met people with this in-town little farm for the kids to visit. Hopefully our friendship will grow and the kids will be around to see the cows grow up, then get eaten. Yikes.
Happy weekend. Phew! Made it, well almost.

More Good Stuff
Jamie poops in the potty for the first time, yesterday, May 21st. And again today. It only takes her about 28 trips to the potty chair and at least an hour total time trying but she eventually gets it out. Did I mention how proud we are? Wow!
We had to leave it there for a while because she kept going back to look at it. And we had to save it to show Pete.
Swimming in the big pool today.

Birthday party yesterday.
All the kids, minus Jamie, and a crying birthday girl.
Birthday desserts. Soooo yummy.
Cake pops my friend Angie makes.
How cute is my little angel?
Me and my friends.
Post-cupcake.
Bubble maker the birthday girl got as a present. Pete LOVED this thing. Kind of like his bubble gun that he loved but only lasted a few wonderful uses.
Jamie and some of the girls.
Fun times. New friends. Swimming and poop. Love it.
