4th of July in AZ!!!

Our week in Arizona was one of the best! Trace and Scarlett shared a birthday party at Summers new gym! Neither of them really got what was going on but we all had a good time. Some things just make the farm what it is; getting dominated in pinochle, Marley's lack of clothing, squash and cheese, and sushi with summer. Some new experiences for me included; the worlds OLDEST rodeo (who would have thought... right here in Arizona, the 48th state?), getting my trash kicked in a P90X workout and then complaining about it the whole week, and getting put in my place (aka a kiddie pool) by a protective older brother (thanks Kasey... I deserved it). Shayna reverted back to her old self holding either a hoe or a camera about 99% of the time. By the end of the week neither Shayna or I were ready to come back to the volunteer state.

Happy 1st Fathers Day

Chris is such a good daddy.. 

I always joke that he cant multi task, but that is a great trait when it comes

to watching Trace! He makes Trace laugh harder then anyone can. He is always

sweet with him and sometimes to protective :)
 He is an answer to a life long prayer.

 

Memorial Day

 

We spent our Memorial Day weekend with the Oldies and the Amish, and LOVED every minute!

Claud and Ella invited us to a BBQ and Karaoke! Everyone there must have been 

at least 50 years older then us.. They talked about their broken tractors and the 

need for rain- I felt right at home! We are grateful to these dear people who have 

become like family out here.

 

LOOK AT THOSE LIL TEETHS!

i LOVE being a MoM..

These are the faces I cant afford to miss..

Its by far the funnest, most worthwhile thing Iv ever done..
I hope to raise my kids similar to how Iv been raised.

Playin in the RAIN

So how do you know when Barbara the grandma/mother and her sidekick Katherine have been at your house??? Well for starters your fridge will be chuck full of amazing things and each meal that is prepared will feed approximately 9 kids and 2 adults. Mom and Katherine saved the day when Shayna left to take pictures for her friends wedding in Texas. The only complaint that we have for our perfect guests is that they didn't stay longer (We miss em a lot).
