Tyler's Soccer Game

The Birthday Kids

Hanging out at the FBR Golf Tournament

Don't Let the Bed Bugs Bite!

When Collin was born and we needed the crib, Tyler took over the guest room. We painted it blue, put sheets with cars and trucks on the queen sized bed, and added toys and books, and VOILA, a little boy's room. Tyler's got it good in a cozy queen sized bed, but he has to give it up when we have guests, who feel guilty displacing the little guy. Friends and family, let me assure you, feel guilty no more! He would prefer to sleep here!

Yes, on the floor, in his doorway, with his cars keeping guard.

So, come and visit us! Tyler is happy to sleep on the floor! You just might need to bring your own pillows.

Happy 2nd Birthday, Noah!!!

Stealing M&M's from the cake!

Collin is SOOOOO my kid!

You gotta love a kid who neatly organizes his shoes and socks at McDonalds Playland!

Back in Action
Coming at you from the new digs

Merry Christmas from our gingerbread house to yours!

The Trench

The pool has been green for several weeks and after lots of shock to the water and fiddling with the filter and pump, Matt has deduced that the pump and the breaker box are no longer connected. So welcome Mr. Trench to our backyard.

Tyler and Collin got in on the digging action.

This is his paparazzi pose.

The pool is on its way to returning to a refreshing blue color just in time for winter to arrive in Phoenix.

Christmas Came Early to Phoenix!

Gene and Barbara are in town soaking up the sun so they gave us our Christmas present early....a new digital camera! Yay!!!!! Thanks guys! I played around with it today taking pictures of my sorta willing subjects.

sports mode...great action shot

This one's for you, Mark!

No one told us when we moved into our neighborhood in Phoenix that we would have the BEST neighbors in the world! They welcomed us warmly and have been there when we have needed them. Mark is one especially friendly, fantastic neighbor. He is the neighborhood cook, bartender, and photographer. He has taken about a million pictures of us and wants to see them on our blog. So here are the latest...

Mark and Colleen were getting ready for a garage sale. We were checking out their stuff. Yes, that's me in a Darth Vader mask that we now own. And Mike strumming a toy guitar that we now own. Tyler and Collin have definately benefitted from having Austin, Mark's son, as a neighbor.

Tyler and Collin tried on these great hats. And yes, we now own them.


Thanks Mark, Colleen, and Austin for all the great stuff!!!
We love you!

Summer 08

So thanks to Sarah, I realized I could put my memory card right into the computer to get the pictures. SO EASY!!! Since our camera died, I haven't been able to access these pictures and always meant to take the memory card to Costco, but always forget. So here they are! Pictures from our week in the San Jaun Islands on Orizaba.

Ha Ha Dr. John! I'm driving your boat!

Tyler really wants to help out now. His job is to tie up the bumpers.

Camping at Ft. Stevens

Eating Grammy's pancakes, quite possibly their favorite part of the trip!

And this is where my camera died. RIP Panasonic DMC-FX07
