Chasing the SUNSET

Canyon, Trek, and I drove to the top of Snowbowl last night to watch the sun set. We often miss the sunsets, because our sweet little house is surrounded by pine trees. Not being able to stand missing another breathtaking ARIZONA sunset we loaded up and drove 20 minutes to watch the sky turn every shade of orange and pink and blue and purple. It was amazing (and so are my boys)!

Vegas with the HUBBY!

Gary & I went to Vegas for the weekend, just the two of US!! We went to a show, shopped, had dinner with friends, slept in, relaxed by the pool, got room service and savored every minute. It was lovely to have time to ourselves...

A is for acorn...

... and apple and alligator and Arizona and airplane, and Johnny Appleseed. Canyon had preschool today at our house with 2 friends. Next week he goes to their house. He hasn't talked about anything else today. I think he liked it (and so did I!).

Airplane Madness

Canyon has acquired a new skill/obsession. Making airplanes. He cannot pass up a piece of paper without folding and flying it across the house (he's used tax documents, homework, magazines, and bills to name a few). He makes at least 20 airplanes a day and is becoming quite the aviation expert. At the end of the day we part with most and he is learning to use the appropriate piles of recycled paper for his masterpieces.

Mosquito Attack

Trek & Canyon have been attacked by mosquito's the past few weeks. Trek got a bite that swelled ridiculously big. It was literally the size of a golf ball on his forehead. The next day the swelling extended to his right eye. (Canyon had the same reaction a few days earlier.) He kept asking for a band aid. Poor baby.

Back to School

Just because I never brag on my hubby like I should...

Gary's back to school and only has 2 more years to go (the 1st year flew by). He is loving it! He has acquired 2 part time jobs through NAU and has volunteered to be the 1st year Forestry School Delegate. He continues to win over the praise of his teachers and classmates with his outgoing personality and his knowledge. It has been fabulous watching him grow and learn and enjoy this experience.

A visit from Cara and her boys...

We crammed 4 little boys in the back seat of Cara's car:

Cara & I found some cute Fedora's we couldn't live without:


Canyon & Bannon stopped for their mama's in front of a vintage station wagon for a quick pic:


Canyon made sign for the tree house they victoriously climbed. It read: BOYS AND GIRLS ALLOWED CANYON BANNON:


And Trek, Bannon, and Canyon dressed up from the Halloween box:
