True Love

I've always know how loved I am by my husband, but he proved it again this weekend. On Saturday night I fell asleep with Luke while trying to get him to bed and was awakened by Juven shaking me. He said, "Just Timberlake and Kermit the Frog are on Saturday Night Live." I immediately jumped out of bed, which is very rare for me, especially once down for the night) and ran to see. Justin and Kermit were singing a duet on a re-run of SNL on the E channel. I'm sure you all know what a Justin FREAK I am and as a child was also in love with Kermit. WOW! my two favorite celebrities! Don't get much better than that. How thoughtful of Juven to think of me knowing what a bear I am to wake up!! Yep, he truely loves me!!!!!

Rock shopping

What an adjustment moving out of Texas has been!!! We went "rock shopping" today!!! We are in the process of landscaping our backyard and had to go pick out what type of rocks we wanted. Leaving the "rock" place. Juven looked at me and said, "We just went shopping for rocks." Weird!! There is all different types, colors, and sizes. In Texas everyone's yard is grass basically from one side of the yard to the other. NOOOO, not here. If you are brave enough to put in grass it usually is a small patch just to ad color and then you put in what is called "curbing". Basically what that is - well just like it sounds- it looks like a curb but is the border for flower "shrubbery" beds. You then fill in the curbing with the rocks and what ever type of dessert folaidge you decide on. I know I need pictures, but it is late, dark, and I need to update. I'll add pics later.
Also- we have learned what a "drip system" is. It is a system tied into the sprinklers that water the plants in your rocks. It has small tubing buried underground that comes up at each plant with a little spout on the end to water the plants and not waste water I guess. Still such a learning experience. I miss my Texas days of putting the sprinkler out myself and moving it every 15 to 20 minutes. But -OHHH NOOO!!! not here. EVERY yard has a sprinkler and drip system. We actually are having to put the system in the backyard ( already in the front) and I offered to do the watering myself, but (I'm sure this summer when it is 110 degrees at 7 A.M. I'll be thankful) I was shot down.
I am soooo happy to be in my new home though!!!!! We have finally slowed down. NO house hunting, packing, or pains of moving again for a while ( I hope)!! I love our neighborhood, street, and house. It is soo great to let Luke go play in the backyard and not worry!! We have great neighbors and an great mountain view from our kitchen.
Well, better wrap it up. Will have some pics of the "rocks" and "drip system" next time.
LOVE YA'LL!!

Easter and The Grand Canyon

Well we are moved in and unpacked! Mom came for Easter and we had a nice quiet visit. We went to Sedona Easter Sunday and came across an Easter service in the middle of a beautiful courtyard in the Sedona art district.

The Robertson's came last week and we took them to Jerome, Sedona, and the Grand Canyon. We had a wonderful time and the boys had so much fun together!

There was still snow at the Grand Canyon and it was cold and the wind was blowing about 30 mph. It actually snowed on us a little. The cold didn't damper our trip though. It was such as amazing sight to see.

The move is on

Wow! Haven't updated in a while. We have been working like crazy to get our house closed and we FINALLY did it. YEAH!!!! I am sooo ready to have my own home again. We are going to start moving tomorrow. Luke is excited he will have a backyard again and I am excited I will not have stairs anymore!! He has learned, "Mommy doesn't like the stairs. It's hard for you to clean, it's hard for you to do laundry, it's hard for you to carry me." He knows and that is exactly what he says, plus he is ready to help Juven do yard work again also.
My mom is coming for Easter weekend and I will be so grateful to have her here. I was sad about not getting home for the holiday but having her here will help. Luke is ready to color Easter eggs with his Nanny! Hopefully I'll have some great pictures.
Better go. Gotta get rest for tomorrow!

Zoo fun

Farmer boy here is at the zoo. We had lots of fun!

Yes, this is a camel. Of course they have a camel at the zoo, we are in the desert. $5 for a ride!

Too much fun!

Tea cups at a birthday party. Mommy gets too dizzy to ride!

Life's tough at the park

This is Luke playing at the park with his buds after we had a picnic. The weather today was absolutely gorgeous! 80 degrees with a slight breeze. Can't ask for any better! Now he is passed out on the couch from exhaustion.

My other blogs tha I read always have such good stories to them, but I don't seem to have any funny stories to share. Maybe I'm just not in touch with my creative side right now!

Buddies and fun in the sun

Here is Luke at the library for story time with his buddies. Dylan and Evan.

On Saturday we headed out to Fountain Hills for an art festival. We had a wonderful time. It was 73 degress and not a cloud in the sky. Mountains in the background (some with snow), palm trees, beautiful green grass, and an amazing fountain.
