GRAYSON THE ARTIST

ALTHOUGH MARLEY IS AN ACCOMPLISHED ARTIST, HER LITTLE BROTHER IS COMING INTO HIS OWN AND STEPPING OUT OF HER SHADOW. HE HAS REALLY TAKEN A LIKING TO PAINTING. BELOW WE HAVE COMPILED SOME PICTURES OF THE MASTER AT WORK WHILE IN HIS STUDIO AT DAYCARE.




Taking a break with pals.

PARADA DEL SOL

....And for you Gringos, the Parada del Sol is the Parade of the Sun. Its a Rodeo/Old West parade down the main drag in Scottsdale. We had a good time watching the parade - and to top it off Marley rode the mechanical bull.

"When is this thing going to start?!!!"








Mom seems to be looking the wrong direction(?)



Marley doesn't want her picture taken.



Marley mounts the bull and prepares for action.


And off she goes.

It started out pretty slow.

But the pace picked up.

Marley held on like a pro.

She has a future in bull riding.

A LITTLE OF THIS AND A LITTLE OF THAT

WE HAVE BEEN BUSY ENJOYING OUR NEW TV AND HAVE BEEN NEGLECTING THE BLOG, SO AN UPDATE WAS OVERDUE. A COUPLE OF WEEKENDS BACK WE ATTENDED THE "RODEO" AT MARLEY'S PRESCHOOL. THE KIDS HAVE ALSO BEEN KEEPING BUSY AROUND THE HOUSE. WE HAVE PUT SOME PHOTOS BELOW TO DOCUMENT THEIR ADVENTURES...



A Project: To celebrate the 100th day of school, Marley made a picture with 100 Fruit Loops.

The kids checking out Rusty the horse.


Everyone gathers 'round Cowboy Gary to hear some tall tales.

Marley seems to think its pretty funny.

Back home - playing with her baby dolls.


Grayson saying 'hi'.

Dad was babysitting Friday night.


Cheeeeeeese.

They settle down for storytime in the igloo.


Gray seems to be fading...

The surprise ending of "Five Little Monkeys" gets Marley everytime.
