Lil' Rider
Check out little Danielle on the dirt bike out on the greenbelt by our house! She's much more gutsy than I ever was at that age!

3 Marvelous Days
We just got back from California for the long weekend and we had a ball! We we're able to catch up with some friends we haven't seen for a while and enjoy temps lower than 110.
Dan and his best bud Steve at the Santa Monica Pier. Some interesting people made their way to the pier that day, I won't elaborate, but let's say I did a lot of explaining to the kids.
Logan, Haley, Mandy, Danielle & Myself at the pier.
This was probably the highlight of the trip for me. Anyone who is an architecture fan is more than likely familiar with Greene and Greene. Well this is the Gamble House by Greene and Greene in Pasadena. Dan and I were super excited to find it, especially since we weren't actually looking for it, we just kinda ran into it. If it looks familiar, it's because it was Doc's house in the movie Back to the Future. So impressive both in picture, but especially in person!
The kids got a little cold during the fireworks, so they packed into the back of the MDX. From where we were parked we could see at least four fireworks shows going on, pretty cool.
Coral Beach Cantina in Malibu, some really yummy Mexican food. Best mole I've ever had! I know I post about food a lot, but, I'm not going to stop.
The Reel Inn in Santa Monica, it's right on the Pacific Coast Highway. I'm not a huge fan of seafood, but this place converted me! It was so fresh! If only I could make a living as a restaurant critic.
Leo Carillo Beach in Malibu
What did Avie think of her first time at the beach, you ask? We'll she moved off my lap for a couple of minutes, but this was pretty much it! She enjoyed the sand a little and wanted nothing to do with the water. She's a funny kid.
It was a hard to come back to the furnace, but it's always nice to be home. We're enjoying our summer, hope everyone else is as well.

Messy
Famous last words...
Do you think it's okay to let Avie feed herself spaghetti?
That meal didn't stand a chance!

Dry?
Now, I can't be sure...
...but I don't think my bean plant is going to make it!
I guess we'll have to eat tomatoes instead.

I know some kids that like watermelon!
A lot!
PS, Rayce has a nice little shiner right now. Danielle says she's innocent...I'm highly suspect.Wednesday, June 23, 2010

Back in Business
I was finally able to purchase a new camera! It's so nice for my blogging, and for the two people out there that actually read it.
So to catch up on the past month or so:
Dan is officially in his third year of Dental School! (I know, it's flown by) They start seeing patients in another week! Yay, and congrats on all his hard work!
Danielle is officially out of the second grade and considering entering the third grade at some point.
Avie's skin is looking better all the time, she's still a hand full, no doubt that will not change.
Rayce is now sporting a seasonally induced buzz cut, he's a cute boy with or without hair.
Our garden is actually starting to produce some produce.
So, we took off this last weekend to go to St. George, Utah. It was a much needed break, and although it's not exactly cool, it's still "cooler" than good old Arizona. I may be crazy, but I enjoy the road trip part of it all. Dan and I are actually able to talk and for the most part the kids do okay. We stayed with Dan's sister and just had a great time. Our niece Claira, celebrated her 4th Birthday while we were there, so we we able to celebrate with her.
On our way. Kinda, anyway, we we're stuck for an hour on the Hoover Dam.
Awesome view though.
Atticus, Danielle, Raycey, and Birthday Girl Claira, at the pool.
And then there's this little cutie!
We also rode motorcycles...
and went for a couple of walks...
and just enjoyed the beautiful Southern Utah scenery!
