Papa Doc's trip to visit!


First of all, I found Hudson's giggle spot!!! He laughed and laughed and giggled for me today...it was AWESOME!!!

We had a FANTASTIC time with Charles' dad, "Doc" while he was here. It was so fun to just enjoy him, spend time doing "normal" life stuff, having the kids get to know him more and having him meet Huddy Buddy. We went to Cabela's, Popo's Mexican Food (AMAZING!), hung out....and more.

Shooting range at Cabela's :) 


Our kids LOVE Davy Crockett. Random, huh? Well I found a coon skin cap...a wee bit large for Hudson, but we needed something to do while the big kids were shooting :) 
 We took Doc to watch the rattlesnakes at the White Tanks park get "lunch." Or rather their every 2 weeks feeding. Notice the small tail sticking out of the snake's mouth above? Yes, they are fed live mice. :( Not for the squeamish, for sure. My children LOVED it. ????? What the?!?!?!? They shrieked and hooted and oohed as the snakes slowly eliminated their prey...I guess I don't have to worry about the "cycle of life" with them! Not sure Doc really enjoyed being forced into watching a snake feeding, but he was a good sport :)
The gila Monster
And this is how Hudson enjoyed the snake feeding :)
 HOORAY for a great time with Doc. :) As we left the airport, Savvy said, "I wish Doc was a part of our family every day." Us too, Darlin' us too!



Oh. To end on a hilarious note....Wyatt discovered his nipples the other day while getting into the bathtub.
Wyatt..."Dad, what is this?"
Dad (he he) "those are your nipples."
Wy "Do we wash them off?"
Dad :D "No buddy, not quite." :)

Love the way they think.

Oh. and another fun one...Driving home Savanna asked me

"Mom, what is God's last name?" huh?????????

"ummmmm Almighty, I think."

"Mom, What is Jesus' last name?"

"ummmmm Christ."

"ok."

So precious :)

    Just thought you would like to know that I am a faithful reader :) I so enjoy the little updates on your family! O, and "Almighty" being God's last name is genius. I would have stumbled and then said something like "He doesn't have one" and launched into a theological diatribe that would have made NO sense to....well, probably anyone :)
    Thanks for letting us into your world!

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

Image
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...
