Arizona '08

Well, we just got back about a week ago from our yearly visit to Scottsdale. I thought that I would post a few pictures of our adventures. It's been a while since I've posted.
We sure love Arizona. It's great to cross-over with the Allen's, the weather is always terrific, the food is great, my friend, Kathy is there with her crew and.....the shopping isn't too bad either (wink, wink to all you Last Chance shoppers)!
Charlie just loves to go exploring with Grandma Wilda. Grandma, you even have on your trusty fireman helmut! What a sport!

The Bathin' Beauty

Ash's turn for a spin with Grandma, then some golf with Dad.





The train park was a favorite of the kids. Next to Chucky Cheese, that is!



Charlie got to reunite with good pal, Haylee. The loved spending time together. I can't believe how well they got along.


Charlie a.k.a. "frog eyes" getting launched. He can be quite brave....as long as he has his goggles on.


Ash on her first date at Chucky Cheese. What's HE looking at?


Ash really loved being outside. She and I got along so much better down there in Arizona. She (I) also decided to leave all of her soothers and bottles down there. We quit, cold turkey. It actually hasn't been that bad. I have been stauling on doing it, because I thought it would be terrible. She asks for them every now and then, but she knows they're in Arizona.

We can't wait to go back
