Happy Birthday Caleb Joe!

I love this picture of Emma looking at her silly brother!

I set out a little treasure hunt for Caleb around the neighborhood. He got clues to the next spot where there was another clue and a present. The last clue sent him back home to get his HUGE present along with a list of the things each member of his family likes about him. He got a gecko as his big gift. He is our animal/insect/reptile boy! He loves to catch these things and take care of them. We just love this 6 year old boy!!

So this is why we live in good ol AZ. It was a little warm these last few days so we had some pretty tough boys come swim. We have NOT heated our pool yet, so it was pretty chilly water. Tena told the boys whoever stayed in the longest would get $1. Oh the things they will do for a buck. They would not give up and after a while she started feeling bad for them and told them all she would take them to the $1 store to get something....(the store has just opened across the street from our neighborhood and has been a HUGE hit).

After the dollar store offer they all quickly RAN to the tramp to get some sun and warm up!!

Spring Break 2009

I took the kids to Tucson for a few days to visit my parents. While we were there we went to "Old Tucson". I remembered LOVING it as a kid, but I was not sure how great it would be since some of it was burned down a few years ago. Well, as an adult now I thought it was dusty, dirty and totally lame.....BUT my kids LOVED it!!! So, there ya go! That all that matters!

Braiden with his shotgun driving the car!

Emma and Abby...cute girls!!

Mom and Dayson!!! (I am doing the pedals, but Dayson is driving)

"Billy the Kid" and my kids minus Braiden. You know when you have to pick your battles...Braiden did not want a picture with "Billy".

Cute train ride around the park.

Goin' to school.....

I am pretty sure they did NOT have these in the old west, but Emma sure loved it!

Hey! I will give you $1 if you can catch this!!!!

Oh Spencer just loves to get the kids all hyped up right before bed...whats up with that???
