An unexpected visit from family...

The Beckman's were headed through town and stopped by Sunday morning to say hello. It was a wonderful surprise!! We loved every minute of our visit (the only thing that would have made it better would have been CJ-we missed him). The three little darlings made up for lost time and played the entire time. We love you guys so much and can't wait for the next visit!

Community Supported Agriculture

I signed up for a SPRING SHARE at the local Community Supported Agriculture in Flag. So every Thursday for 12 weeks I pick up fresh Arizona Grown produce... I don't get to choose, I just get what the farmers have harvested that week. It has been fabulous so far! It has inspired/forced me to learn to prepare different meals with unusual (for us) items. Some I can't identify with out google. We have been eating more fresh fruits & veggies which is great... we all love it... even Gary. This week we got beets which is great because I found a recipe for beet humus and have been dying to try it. Question: I got turnips last week and have no idea what to do with them... any suggestions?

Tea Party

I love watching Canyon's little hands at work. He prepared a sweet tea party for Gram, Trek & I.

Sometimes it's hard to keep my eyes on the road...

...when this is what I see in my rear view mirror! Pure SWEETNESS!

Style

Canyon has been totally in to dressing himself and thinking he is very cool.

Here are some of his style tips:

1. Shorts are always appropriate.


2. Jackets are never appropriate.


3. Sunglasses make the outfit.


4. Two shirts must always be worn--can be 2 t-shirts, 2 collared shirts, 2 sweat shirts, but always 2 shirts.


5. Socks are optional, but when worn must be pulled all the way up.


6. Shoes must be multipurpose-- skateboard/river/hiking/climbing/running/school.


7. Never wear what mom or dad think match--they have no idea what they talking about.

(I think he's doing a pretty good job!)
