January 19 - 24

I am trying something new. Since I don't seem to do very well at writing on my blog, I am going to be tying two projects into one. I wanted to do a better job of taking pictures of my kids, my friends, and our life in general, so last week I started to take at least one picture a day. Once a week I am going to post pictures from each day of the last week. That way even if I don't write very much at least I will be able to look back and have an idea of what we were doing!

Tuesday - Kate had her 4 year well check up, and she had to get 4 shots. She was very brave and only cried a little! Here she is showing off her Snoopy band aid.



Wednesday - It was cold and rainy, so we made some coffee and rice krispie treats. One of my favorite combos!



Thursday - It rained all day! I don't know why and most people here think I'm weird, but I love dreary weather. This is the view from my living room, and I love seeing the grass and the trees with no leaves in front of the gray sky.


Friday - We went out by ourselves for the first time in forever! This is Brian with his bib on at Kings Fish House. He's messy!



Saturday - I forgot to take any pictures...oops!


Sunday - This is our friend, Franz, reading Kate a story. Franz moved to France today, so we won't see him until December. Sad :(

Dinosaurs

On Saturday we went to the Natural History Museum in Mesa. Kate liked seeing all the dinosaurs, and panning for gold. Mostly she just liked playing in the water. I'm sure she had no idea what we were trying to get her to do. Before we left we went to the little museum gift shop and let Kate pick out something. Brian was showing her the little dinosaurs, but she wanted a bag of rocks. She played with them for a long time yesterday, who knew rocks could be so entertaining.

Kate waiting to watch the flash flood reenactment. There is a Tricerotops and a T-Rex that move and roar on this "Dinosaur Mountain".

First Suns Game of the Year

Last week Brian took Kate to one of the Suns preseason games. He is a brave man! Actually, it went pretty well. She didn't make it for the whole game, but they did stay for half time. Kate's favorite things were the gorilla and Steve Nash. Good girl!
