Amazed by my kids...

Some MAJOR milestones! Jake learned how to ride his bike WITHOUT training wheels. It's been about 2 weeks now and everyday we have to go practice. So, I watch him riding around and I think, "he's growing up so fast, pretty soon he'll be all grown up". So, I'm praying that I really focus on my kids and appreciate these things and the time I get to spend with them. And, Sophie is POTTY TRAINED! She's been wearing chonies for about a week/half now. All day and at night too and no accidents. I knew she could do it. I am so proud of them. Deon was so happy to have that moment with Jake. When he first took of the training wheels and taught Jake to ride.

The girl loves to play in the sand at the park

This is what we do almost everyday...go to the park and practice our riding skills and play.

Went to lunch the other day and Sophie tried onion rings...she loved them, pulled out the onion and ate the whole thing

My Easter Bunnies

HAPPY EASTER! We had a very happy and blessed Easter. The Easter bunny made a stop at our house. We spent the day with our cousins; barbecued, had water balloon fights and an egg hunt. It was a very nice day. 

The New Mexico Easter bunny sent us a brand new snow cone machine. Mmmmm

Coloring eggs...messy! 

Look at our perdy eggs

Sophie got some new goggles and decided to wear them 

Hulahoop! 

Jake wasn't sure about all that hulahoopin'

Jake got some new super soaker guns...

and the Monkey too

Thank you God for blessing us everyday. We are truly grateful and hope that you continue to watch over us. Hope everyone had a Happy Easter!

Kids!

So many photo opportunities, so little time! My kids have been trained, since birth to smile for the camera. Just some pictures of things we've been doing around town.

My little cowboy at Tempe Town Lake under the train bridge

Went to the mall and they had this 2 story merry-go-round, so you know we had to ride it 

Whoa, we never rode a tiger before

We found a dollar theatre. Sophie sat threw the whole movie and then they played some video games. But, she was mad because Jake wouldn't let her play too.

Jake found the lawn mow (as he says) he wants

Dad bought VANS for everyone

Went back to San Tan Flat for lunch one day and they were pretending to drive the tractor

And the monkey too

Always having fun...

San Tan Flat

We drive by this place everyday...and everyday it's packed. The locals kept telling us about it, so we finally went and had so much fun! The perfect place for a little cowboy. Country music blaring, good barbecue, roast marsh mellows over the fire and a live country music band. There's a big ole dance floor where the kids play and show off their moves. It was really cute. So, anyone who comes to visit us will be having dinner there with us. 

Marsh mellow roastin' time.

Hi Sophie

Um, Sophie what kind of face is that?
