Let the Swimming Begin

Day 288

Today is the first day of our 2 week spring break. The kids, of course, are planning on spending the entire time in the pool.



When they aren't in the pool they plan to be lounging by the pool.



Should be a good 2 weeks.

Day 289

Adam was taking piano lessons with my dad before we moved but I've been a slacker and took quite some time to find him a new teacher. And even when I did find him a new teacher she was all booked and I was put on her waiting list.

But the waiting in now over.

It's hard to believe that as we approach our first year anniversary of living in Arizona that there are any firsts still to be had. But, tonight Adam went for his first Arizona Piano lesson






This Place is for the Birds

Day 290

Today the kids and I took a trip to the Gilbert Riparian Institute.

It's supposed to be a great place to spot many different species of birds, but the kids were much more interested in the tiny baby turtle.



They stood and watched him for at least 20 minutes!

The other highlight of the day was the fountain at the library next door where we went to use the bathroom.

Day 291

Adam had a friend from school over today. We have a house full of toys. Cars and trains and helicopters and legos-but what did the boys want to spend most their time doing? Using the hose to make mud in the backyard.

Day 292

The people who are currently living in our Utah home moved from Arizona. Since we were quite literally swapping places with each other we gave each other a few pointers for settling into their new home. The one tip they shared with us was "Eat at Joe's BBQ Grill. You'll love it." So today we FINALLY made it!

Yup, that's how we roll around here.
