Rock Climbing

Jade wanted to try her hand at Rock Climbing, so after the Pinewood Derby we set off to the Anthem Community Center so Jade could scale the wall.  Not bad for her first try.

Pinewood Derby - 3rd Place

Ethan's First Pinewood Derby!  Tyson and Ethan worked for a couple weeks to design the ultimate driving machine.  Ethan placed 3rd in the overall race.   Way to go Ethan!  

Spring Break 2008

The kids and I traveled to Rocky Point Mexcio for Spring Break.  We enjoyed 4 fun filled days on the beach.  The weather was a bit chilly on the first day, but that didn't seem to stop the kids from playing at the beach.  Jade had a fun time getting her hair braided which she has kept in for two weeks now.  

Easter Eggs for Family Night

For family night the kids decorated easter eggs.  Jade did tie dyed ones with glitter and Ethan created star wars characters.  Jade wanted to keep her eggs "forever" until mom described what a rotten egg smells like.   

The infamous Yoda Egg!

Jade's 5th Birthday

Princess Jade's 5th Birthday Party was filled with little princesses.  Fourteen to be exact, all dressed up for the party.  Each princess visited the six stations to become a princess.  They made a crown, received their own magic wand, put on perfume, got lip gloss and a compact mirror, had their portrait taken in the thrown and received some delicious candy jewelry. Then it was on to the Royal feast.  Complete with ribbon sandwiches, fruit kabobs, jello jiggler jewels, and palace punch.  The girls had a wonderful time!  

Arizona Rain

This winter we had quite the rainstorm and some flooding on our back patio.  Ethan and Ben are trying to divert the water down the side of the house....or maybe they were just playing?   

Halloween 2007

This year we made homemade rootbeer which we passed out to all the trick or treaters!  It was a big hit!  


Tyson, Teri, Jade and Ethan - Tyson and Teri manned the rootbeer while I took the kids trick or treating.
