Back from Arizona

We got back from our unplanned last minute trip to visit family in Arizona on Sunday night (actually 1am Monday morning to be exact). The kids LOVED playing with their cousins they hadnt seen in a few years. We took them on some hiking trails around Phoenix and basically just relaxed by the pool most of the time. Temp was about 100 every day. Now the boys are BEGGING us to get an inground pool so they can learn to swim better they say. Now we are slowly getting the house organized again. We need a vacation from our vacation!

Muchos fotos

Random pics from the last couple of weeks. Ry's dance recital photos are by Frophoto and scanned in.
Hard to get a pic of Nora lately. She either doesnt want to look at the camera. Or shes talking or her eyes are closed. Sometimes I just give up and take a picture of her having a fit. :)
On Ry's team all players switch off positions. Yes hes a lefty.
And Evans just been a crabby busy body. Hes got a bad case of the 4 year old whines.

Recital

Ry and his group did great at their recital last weekend. The lil' cowboys danced to Cotton Eyed Joe. It was just the four boys ages 7 and 8. They had a good time!
Weather is slowly warming up for good so Evan and Nora have been getting outside play time. Last day of school is June 11th.
Baseball has started. Ry's second year of coach pitch. Hes playing on the Orioles. Games twice a week thru June.

River

River got real sick and we chose to put him down yesterday. The decision was a bit hard but it was harder seeing him so uncomfortable. He was 13 years old. The boys were a bit sad but they are doing okay. Canyon seems to look around a bit but even she seemed to know it was River's time to go. This photo was taken the day before.

Zoo

I took Evan and Nora to the zoo this week. Was trying out my new camera again a bit.

Happy Mothers Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Mothers Day weekend. I worked ten hours both days. I did get my new digital camera so I can finally post more pics again!

Florida vacation

We got back Sunday from a 10 day vacation to Orlando. We drove down and stayed a week in my parents 3 bedroom condo with some friends and their 2 girls. Had a great time! We went to Universal Orlando 3 days and Clearwater Beach where the dads and Ry went fishing in the Gulf but only caught 2 fish. The weather was nice and only rained 1 day. We had dinner at Disneys Animal Kingdom Lodge one night and shopped at Downtown Disney but otherwise this was a Mickey free trip. We just went to Disney World in August so decided to take a little break and try something new.
Back to work now and reality with this great Wisconsin weather.
