Just wanted to add a few photos of the past few days.


The orchestra I play with is called "Golden Corridor Center for the Arts", we perform about once or twice a month at different places and events in the city. Anyway we had a big valentines performance tonight and I wanted to include at least one photo because I worked so blazin hard for it! Dan came to support me and stayed till the end even though he had to go to work at 1 am. He's the best :) During the waltzes he was quickly chosen from the audience by a pretty little highschool girl who probably didn't know he's actually an old married man with a bunch of kids! haha


This is the picture our camera timer took right before Dan's mom and Grandpa left, I was sad after, why can't they just stay forever?!


Great Grandpa cruising around on motorbike. Perfectly normal right? :)

Grandpa's and Grandma's

We've been so blessed to have Dan's Grandpa and Mom come stay with us for a while. How many kids get to play and have fun with their great grandpa?! Dan's mom has been cooking for us and spoiling and playing with the kids as well. Wish they could stay forever!







We took Dan's mom for a bike ride around our neighborhood, she absolutely loved it, she hadn't rode a bike for years.



Dan wanted to show his Grandpa the truck he drives for work. He drove it right to our house and it about took up the whole block! Grandpa was quite impressed :)

Busy busy busy busy

Well, I have been too busy and have too many guests to blog lately. SO alot has happened and we're still alive! I would like to post some pictures of my sister's visit. We had so much fun, she was here for a week with her two oldest. My kids skipped some school but at least we all did fun educational things like Shamrock farms and Tucson zoo. I wish I could have at least one of my sister's visiting at all times. It is hard to live so far away from any family and when they come to visit its such a treat. My family has been so gracious in taking the time and money to come see us, we love it!




I highly recommend Shamrock farm tours for everyone, especially kids. Its so fun to see how the cows are milked and fed and bathed and cooled. They are treated so well. I love their ice cream, you get some after the tour as well as chocolate milk!





Poor little man handled cows!



After church, we were staring at the sun but I insisted we all get a picture in front of my pretty flowers.





This is the day we went out to Picacho peak. The girls played on these funny swings forever and ever. The weather was perfect. This is Arizona after all.





We hiked the big 0.2 miles to the childrens cave. Which is one of my favorite spots at Picacho. Can you believe that Picacho is shutting down in June. I'm going to be sick about it. It has been my favorite picnic spot since we moved here.



Anyway now on to Maysa's birthday. She finally turned 3, was so happy to have her cousins and great grandpa to celebrate with. Now she really isn't a baby anymore!



She loves this newborn pony castle, and is quite protective of it. She will share.... someday.




Oh! Who's this! I LOVE giraffes. They are such pretty and majestic and gentle creatures. I am so glad to have finally discovered the Tucson zoo. It is small but beautiful and full of fun animals like polar bears! Highly highly recommend this zoo.



The girls got to hand feed this one, what a fun experience!



The little train ride around the lake is just lovely. We thought it was strange that it was the zoo train but didn't go around the zoo at all.! Oh well, it was lots of fun.

I loved having my sister and girls visit. I wish they stayed longer. Between the 2 of us, we made about 70 flower hair clips. We are so weird. Right now we have Dan's mom and Grandpa staying with us, they were also here a little bit when my sister was here. Thank goodness we've been blessed with a large home with a great big welcome sign out front! This post has taken forever and if you got this far then you should win a prize. I will post some more pics tommorow.
