I am putting this 1st... the famous "Midnight Swim". Grandpa convinced the kids to jump into the pool at night time (not all that warm). He called it the midnight swim... but no, it wasn't midnight. More like 730. But, the kids loved it :).


As I am writing this, I am stuck in the house by a blizzard. Hard to believe that we were just in warm weather! We did go to Scottsdale last week with my parents, (Grandma Kathy and Papa Mike), and stayed at their casa. We had a blast... here's a recap:

At Kierland. Colton is off trying to sneak into the squirting waterfalls.

Sunbathing in Grandma's backyard.

Colton and Ashley LOVED the pool. They couldn't believe there was one right in the backyard! We swam at least twice a day!


This is the Scottsdale Train Museum. It is the coolest outdoor place for little kids. We had a blast here. We rode the train, the carousel, but we mostly played at the "Jail".

Colton put me in jail. It was actually a nice, quiet, shaded place. Didn't mind it a bit.


Colton and Daddy in the pool again. Colton would get in and refuse to get out. Thank goodness Daddy didn't mind getting all pruny and staying in FOREVER.


Dinner the 1st night at the fire pit. The kids were amazed at a giant cactus that had wood pecker holes in it. Colton couldn't stop talking about the birds that lived in the cactus.

Princess Ashley dancing on the back patio... she was more my speed. Swim a little bit, sunbathe a litte bit.

The boys in the pool again.


Grandma Kathy and Noodle.

That's it. Mostly pool pics.... that mostly how we spent our time in the sweet Arizona sunshine. Boy, we are missing it today. I took the kids out to play while I shoveled, and Colton got lost and stuck in a drift. He was cold and wet and that was the end of that. What the heck?!

Jackie looks like so much fun! I bet it was a little shock coming back to all that snow I heard you all got in Denver. Did your parents relocate to AZ? Or is it just a vacation home?
it was so hard to come back.. I think I could have moved there! Yes, a lot of snow when we came back. Just a vacation home... they'll probably end up there when my dad retires.
