Easter Photos

A lady stopped me in Costco one day and handed me a piece of paper with the following quote: "A mother of boys is awake from son up to son down!" I love these boys - each is so different from the other and each plays such an important role in our family! Thank Heaven for little boys.

German is 6 Years Old - I Can't Believe it!

German had a 'Sports' Party on Saturday with about 20 kids! It was a great day to be outside and play games. We played baseball and sharks & minnows. The kids really liked playing with the football flags. Thanks to all of German's friends for coming and playing and spoiling him with fun gifts.
I never could get a birthday photo of just German, Scotty kept wanting to be with him - such good brothers!

I love how serious they all are about this present- especially Scotland!

January Hikes

We've been enjoying the nice weather and going on some hikes around the valley. We first went to Papago Park and climbed all over those "mountains". The next weekend we went with our friends and hiked Camelback Mountain. Word of advice: if you start hiking a mountain and realize that you are the only one on the mountain with children, especially the only one with a baby in a pouch, you're probably in over your head! It was fun and if that darn sun hadn't started setting we would have gotten to the top!

Papago Park

This guy kills me! There we are on this rock, enjoying the view, when Eli pulls out his goggles and puts them on. German asked him why he brought them and he told us it was to protect his eyes from the sun. Needless to say, the boys packed their own bags. On the Camelback hike Eli brought a motorcycle toy. We find the most random things in his pockets - I'm pretty sure he'll be the one to bring home a frog or something!
