HIking in the rain, bubbles and more...

So today the high was 56 and it rained most of the day...it was GLORIOUS, considering last week is twas 99degrees!!!So far in April we have used both the A/C and the heater :) Random for us. So anyways at 5pm a friend calls and says "Want to go hike the waterfall trail out at White Tanks?" (Those are the mtns right by our house) and we decided to go - even tho it was raining and cold...we just needed to get OUT of the house :) God BLESSED us with a GLORIOUS rainbow - it was spectacular - HUGE and lasted quite a loooooong time. :) YAY GOD!!  

 How in the world could he resist a small puddle? Or each and every puddle we walked by? :) He was very wet and very happy!!
I love this girl. She cracks me up. Wouldn't smile so we decided to have a silly face instead :)

Just liked this one :)


 99 degrees and the water slide....

 Patsy brought out bubbles for the kids...they love her so much. She is so so fun. 

OH! Our garden is GROWING!!! Hallelu!!!


Hitching a ride with Dad...




Amazing, huh?



 They had to stop and climb on almost EVERY single rock we passed... :)


God is good. Savoring these days and enjoying His presence and life as we live each day :)

Thanks, God, for the amazing rainbow!

Holy Yoga, a trip to the ER...and God's goodness

well we discovered that West Valley Hospital and Phoenix Children's Hospital are both great facilities. Saturday night Wyatt fell from one of the dining room chairs - no one saw him, I got to him immediately but i am not exactly sure what happened. Loooong story and 7 hours in the hospital. The Dr's at West Valley did a c/t scan on Wyatt, and came to the conclusion that there was some bleeding on the left side of his brain. So they shipped us to PCH, where the nuerologists came to the conclusion there was absolutely nothing wrong and no bleeding on the brain. PTL! It was a hard thing to go thru - watching them, holding Wyatt as they poked him, scanned him and generally bugged him. He took it like a champ, however, and around 1130pm when I was having a snack b/c I nearly passed out on the table as they were drawing blood from him, Wy was so MAD that he couldn't have a snack too. So glad to see the little fighter was back. Charles had to return to work in the midst of all thi...

NEW ADVENTURES - 2018

Well, it has been a ridiculous amount of time since I last created a blog post. To say that life has happened is an understatement LOL So much has happened. Charles worked as a police officer for the City of Goodyear for 7 years, then transferred to the Gila River Indian Reservation and worked there for 14 months (way too far and so hard on the family!!) He started working for the city of Buckeye in September 2015 and it has been a GREAT city to work for. He has been a police officer for 11 years now! I work for Revelation Wellness and it is such a JOY! I started out working as an Enrollment Adviser, welcoming new instructors into the training and now I am the Director of Culture - handling HR, developing our team and working with the instructors in their regions. I LOVE my job. Savanna is now 11 and going into 6th grade. Wyatt is 9 and going into 4th. Hudson is 7 and going into 2nd grade. So many changes since 2013 when I last posted :) Here is how we got to this adventure! ...

A family member you may never have known we had..

I am the grandmother to a moose. Yes, you heard me correctly, a MOOSE. She doesn't have a "re al" name, it is simply "moose" or "moosie." She has become a permanent and important part of our daily life. Yesterday Moose looked at me and said "Grandma!" Wow. Not ready for the one quite yet. Guess I'm getting some practice in on a small, blue well-loved moose with no neck to speak of any more. (Her neck has been "loved" do wn into her belly). She 1st joined our family when Savvy was 1 or so, a nd went ignored for quite a while...I think she was discovered shortly after the little brother came on the scene. Moose goes EVERYWHERE with us, and occasionally sleeps at other people's houses, esp.Grandma's (on accident)...Once we thought we'd left her at Safeway and I almost cried...until I remembered, she is just a BLUE MOOSE. Still, she is part of every thing in life... "Momma, Moosie doesn't like that. Momma, Moos...
