Swim Time!

Of course we had to take advantage of the weather and the pool.  Not sure anyone else in AZ thought it was swimming weather so we had the pool to ourselves.

We also went to the Phoenix Open in Scottsdale on Saturday.   No pictures though since we followed the rules that said no phones or cameras allowed.  AND we were the only ones apparently that followed the rules, dang it!  If we would have broken the rules like the other 100,000 spectators, then we could have avoided me and two sleeping kids (with only one stroller) being lost for over an hour when we got separated.  Gotta love the security lady, who was standing right next the sign about no cell phones, etc., who asked if he (Brandyn) had a cell phone I could reach him on.  REALLY???
ANYWAYS…..
The boys enjoyed their first golf tournament and getting upfront views of professional golfers playing.  Prestyn even got a high five from Camilo Villegas’s caddy, right in front of a camera so its possible that the boys were even on TV.  Adalyn LOVES being outside so she was happy as can be.

Castles and Coasters!

On Friday, we took the boys to a little amusement park/mini golf/arcade. We figured they deserved it after the long car ride.

We all had lots of fun riding the rides, playing golf and just enjoying being outside in the sunshine!

 

     

Craters Anyone?

We took a  mini family vacation at the end of February down to Phoenix, AZ.   Left on a Thursday morning and got there that night.  The kids did amazingly well for being in the car for 12hours.  We only hit a little bit of snow and were MORE than welcome to the 70degree weather in Phoenix!

We made a bathroom stop in Meteor City, AZ (40miles East of Flagstaff), home of the Crater where a Meteor hit the Earth about 50,000 years ago.  The crater is 4,150 feet in diameter, 550 feet deep and 2.4 miles in circumference.  There was a little museum about Outer Space and Meteors which all 3 boys enjoyed a lot!  Adalyn and I found it interesting but more than anything were just happy to be out of the car for about an hour.  I included a photo album so you can decided to look or not…there is a family picture in there.

After we had looked at the crater, Brandyn informed me that this is actually something he remembered reading about as a kid and had wanted to see.

Catch Up

We have been without a computer for almost a month now.  Our new computer came in the mail today so here are a few pictures to catch up. 

 
Enough pictures mom!

Ready for their first Doherty Basketball Game.  “Aunt” Jenna got Braedyn and Prestyn’s shirts for them and I made Adalyn’s shirt and Bow.

It started snowing just minutes after we got back to the house and inside.
