Snow fun! 2012



So last week AZ got a  truly LATE snow storm...not here in Phx, of course, but lots in the mountains north of us and all over the higher elevations. So since Charles is off Tuesdays, we decided to load up and go to Prescott and PLAY in the snow. SO SO SO FUN! It is about a 2 hour drive, we got to have lunch out, then went out to a sledding area we found last year - so fun!  
Hudson, being the adorable trooper that he is, didn't balk at all the layers I put on him...you know, i am from AZ, so snow in my mind = COLD. But not really. He didn't need the 4 layers at all...Charles shed his coat within 5 minutes *altho he isn't a very good gauge of what is cold ;)* We all totally enjoyed the wet fun.
Back up in the tree line is where we sledded.
Even Huddy sledded once! :)
Daddy and Wyatt....they had such a great time together...Savvy got rrrreeeallly wet and cold - since she was the only one who didn't have snow shoes, and her jeans were super cold, so she, Hudson and I ended up in the dry & warm truck. So Daddy and Wyatt went off on their own - hiked, slid, threw snow and just hang out together. Love that.

We got some ice cream on the way home, b/c in our book, ice cream and snow go hand in  hand :) Always have in my book, and Charles is coming around to my point of view :) LOL
Hudson is SO the 3rd child...ice cream at 9 months...NEVER would've happened with Savvy ;)
At this point, they just WANTED OUT of the truck. It was slap-happy silliness. So so so fun. We made a great memory. So thankful we were able to go!

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...
