Sunday, October 13, 2013. We had fun visiting southern Arizona with the Lemke cousins in the spring of 2013 so we wanted to go back and check out more! We took a trip to Tucson, AZ. We when we wanted to check out two places: 1) the Kartchner Caverns. And 2) the Pima Air and Space Museum. Both didn't disappoint us! We highly recommend anyone visiting Arizona, southern AZ to be specific, to check them out. We also spent some afternoons down by the pool and spa. The kids loved that! A Bell AH-1S Cobra.

Friday, November 30, 2012. A visit by Mrs. P. We love Mrs. P! Jared had her as his teacher in 1st grade. She is the sweetest 1st grade teacher! Well, the girls now know what teachers Jared had previously and so they love seeing his past teachers at his school. It happens that Mrs. P is one we see regularly. She's always there when we pick up Jared from school and she always says "hi! Suzan, Anna, Brielle, Jared and Bethany with Mrs. P. Cute! Then Mrs. P said "let's do a silly face one! Visited with exten...

Friday, August 17, 2012. Movies from the library. I love that you can check out movies from the library. You can't beat it! Why go to the theater.ever? Movie price = $0. You can have the movie checked out for 7 days. So, you can watch it over and over for the week, if you want, or you can watch half one night and the rest the next night (that's us.we physically can't stay up late anymore - Ha! Or you can pause it for an "intermission break.". Have friends over and make a party with it! Desert Sky Mothers...

Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Some like it hot! And that would be me! Speaking specifically of food. My mom and dad can recall me being a toddler eating chips and salsa but minus the chips - Ha! I laughed and hesitantly said "okay, if you want to." She ended up eating it AND ate half of another! Then a few of the other girls wanted to follow suit! Only 1 of the other 3 ate the jalapenos. I have to add that this other girly DIPPED her jalapeno into the red hot salsa! Posted by The Carlsons. Sunday, June 24, 2012.
