SOME RANDOM STUFF FROM THE FAMILY....

Back in December someone who will remain anonymous accidentally dropped a camera. That camera has since been "retired". We were recently able to download the memory card from the damaged camera and found some miscellaneous pictures.

Grayson on the playground at daycare.

Marley peeling an orange at preschool.



Rewind back to the Holidays. The kids make Christmas cookies.



They have formed an assembly line.

Marley is in charge of icing.

Gray is in charge of quality control aka taste testing.

Marley traded in her brother for a new assistant.

All smiles at the time. 5 minutes later the camera hit the floor.

Now a day at the park with the new camera and Grayson post-haircut...........

Grayson is enjoying the wind whipping over his new buzz cut.

Taking a much needed break in the shade.

Pondering life without his old hair.

Marley also spends some time on the swings.

And spins around until she get nauseous.

HAPPY ST. PATRICKS DAY........

THE END OF AN ERA.....

GRAYSON HAS LOST HIS SIGNATURE LOCKS. PRIOR TO TODAY, HE HAD 1 TRIM. HOWEVER, THE 85-DEGREE TEMPERATURE TODAY LEAD US TO DECIDE THAT IT WAS TIME FOR HIS SUMMER HAIRCUT. IT WAS A SAD DAY AS WE BID FAREWELL TO A LIFETIME OF HAIR.

A DAY AT THE MUSEUM

We recently took the kids down to the Childrens Museum in Phoenix. They enjoyed playing, climbing, "shopping", making pizza and painting.



Somewhere in the middle of this steel playground you might spot a familiar face....



Everyone tries to keep up with Grayson.



Marley stops to say "cheese".



Grayson tends to his flowers.



The little man takes a quick break.



Gray finishes up his grocery shopping while Marley works the check-out line.



He needs a little assistance to get the value sized laundry detergent up to the counter.



Marley slides a homemade pizza into the brick oven.



"Is that thing done yet? I am starving!"



The kids get loose with their paint brushes.



He is hard at work.



Marley putting the finishing touches on the this masterpiece.



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.
