Aaron's girlfriend, Stefani came to Arizona to visit her sister who just had a baby. So we decided to come on over. The girls love Stefani! They even got to skype with Uncle Aaron while we were there. :)
And I got to hold Stef's little niece. She's adorable. :)
On Labor Day, Ben and the kids and I were trying to figure out something to do. We ended up at Scottsdale Fashion Square to eat lunch and do a little browsing and shopping. Jake was most happy to be playing Starfall on a computer at the Microsoft store... we probably could have left him there while we did some shopping and he would have oblivious. :)
We are still going to water park here and there. Since school started, they are only open on the weekends, so most Saturdays we find ourselves making a visit... fries taste extra good at the water park...
Emma had a dentist appt during school this week - we got done a little earlier than expected and there was 20 minutes to fill till I needed to pick up Becca from Kindergarten - so Emma, Claire, and I played at the park across the street from the school...
Emma LOVES Claire...
Ben was so nice this week - I wasn't feeling up to making dinner, so he stopped at the store on his way home from work and got stuff to make little pizzas. The kids did all their own toppings and they tasted delicious. Thanks Ben!
This is random, but I thought it was amusing - This is right next to our neighborhood. Do you notice something odd about 2 of those cactus out there? ;) I'm guessing they are cell phone towers or something?
As we were eating dinner last night, it all of a sudden started to downpour - so we ran outside and played in it before it went away...
It's hard to read Claire's expression, but she did not like getting wet in the rain...
That's so fun to see Stefanie down there with you. I was just with her at the County Fair up here.
ReplyDeleteSee, maybe we aren't so far away from each other.
The kids always look so happy and well. You do a great job with them.
Claire seems to be developing a fun personality and it's such a change to see her on her feet! I'm still getting used to that.
The weather is a bit cooler today. The hillsides actually have some yellow, red and orange. The valley is still green, but the change is slowly coming. I love Fall (Winter; not as much).
Your dad is in the backyard right now, trying to finish up his concrete project.
Today I went out with your grandparents to get a burger. They treat me so well. Once a week I get to feel like I'm not quite so old and my folks are still looking out for me.
Good blog!! I always enjoy it.
Seeing Stef on your blog makes me want to visit again. And I have to check out the CIA cactus, my guess is that there are hidden cameras and mics monitoring the local subversive activity.
ReplyDeleteLove it when it rains in Az. Ahhh the best! We never miss a chance to run in it. Those must be cell phone towers. Crazy!!
