Today we had our first visit with the AZ Early Intervention Program about GA's speech delay. It was more of an interview for me today and next week they will come again to interact with GA more. It will take a few visits for them to determine his eligibility.

Today all three kiddos went to the dentist...but GA wouldn't stop screaming so his visit got nothing accomplished! But the girls did great! :)

We have "family movie night" every Friday night. This week we decided to change it up a bit and took a "picnic" dinner and drove up in the mountains to watch our movie (Bolt) in our SUV. We laid all the seats down and put out blankets and pillows. It was a tight fit but a fun time. The kids thought it was really cool! :)

Lunch with friends! Why do we dare enter the "public" realm with our children?!! Just kidding...it really wasn't that bad. :)

GA was up all night with a stomach bug and is still not feeling great today. :(

Playing with homemade play dough!

This box just makes me laugh...weird picture for today, I know!! But this box has been sitting in this spot since Thursday or Friday of last week. I am not sure why it got put there, but it has become a place where we throw trash...and for some reason it just sits there. Would it really be so hard to take it out? At least it is next to an air freshener!! LOL :)

Today I completed my first ever 5K race. This was my first goal on my way to the triathlon I plan on doing this August. It was tough, but I did it without walking once!! And I got a way better time than I thought I would!

This week was Spring Break and MG went to basketball camp everyday for a few hours in the morning. She really enjoyed it! :)

78/365

MG had a playdate at one of her friend's house and they decorated cookies! Yummy! :)

I began a new Bible study this week at church. I think it going to be really good!

76/365

"Reading the blog"...as JF puts it! :)

Spring has begun to arrive in our backyard!

This is often where I find MG in the morning...on the couch. She can't seem to stay in her bed...so after getting kicked out of ours she will find her way to the couch. Silly kid!

Why don't I just buy her cars & trucks?!? :)

We spent a fun evening with some friends! :)

MG playing Wii on the little TV we have put in the living room (thanks A&B) to temporarily replace our big TV that GA broke! We don't have satelitte service and have put it on hold until September...maybe by then we will buy a new TV...but for now at least we can play video games and watch movies!

The joys of living in AZ and having swing sets over rock...this is JF's head after falling off a swing and landing on a rock today at playgroup. Luckily, she is okay.

I finally had to give in today and go grocery shopping. I have not done a "real" grocery trip since we lost our commissary priviledges on the 1st of February! I stocked up well on my last trip there since we survived this long without buying much more than fresh stuff. I was not looking forward to the experience and really didn't have a very fun time since I am not very familiar with the store...I only go there for fresh stuff and super sales! But by the time I was done I actually spend about $110 less than I normally did at the commissary!!!! I was pleasantly surprised! :) Maybe I was being cautious since I was afraid of what the bill might be!! :)

After some hot weather, we now have cooler temperatures and gloom outside.

I think maybe it is time for a haircut?!?!? This is what GA looked like after taking his nap with hair goop in! LOL :)

These are my two good friends who have decided to join in on the torture and do the triathlon with me! :)

This is what I found in our driveway at about 3AM this morning after hearing the garbage can fall to the ground! I snuck out to catch a picture. Nasty things!! This is the third or fourth time they have pushed our garbage can over, but the first time that I have caught them in the act! There were six of them!

MG was chosen for the second year in a row to have her artwork displayed in the public school's city wide art show. We thought it was pretty funny that her picture was of a clown, since I hate clowns!

63/365

Today we celebrated GA's birthday with our playgroup pals! :)

62/365

Out shopping with our little buddy Taegan! :)

61/365

MG actually wanted me to take her picture!! I had the camera out and she sat down so cute at my feet and gave me a great smile! Not something that happens very often...I usually hear moans when the camera comes out! :)

Today "Steve" put a sprinkler system in our backyard in hopes of establishing our grass a bit better than last year!! (I forgot to water it a lot and this AZ sun sucks it dry! Oops!)
