scream like mad for 45 seconds... repeat! Fun fun!

July is Swim Team. All the time, I feel like I am a permanent fixture at the swimming pool.
But I have a good tan.

Here are 3 videos of the boys racing at their last few swim meets, enjoy!

Mom, we need a jar.. so I give them a peanut butter jar (Costco Size) and off they go.
This poor lizard was folded in half in that jar he was THAT BIG! It is amazing they didn't get bit!



















Here is Max gearing up to eat an ant! Ewww.. he said they taste like sweet tarts!
















Our camping trip on Mt. Lemmon, the wind was CRAZY! But good thing we went before the fires started and everything in Arizona was closed!













































A hummingbird made a nest on the lights above the jacuzzi.

March and there was SNOW in our little part of the world.
Here is a view down our street.

And some snow on the prickly pear.














A couple shots of the snow covered cactus in our front yard; look at our view of the Rincons!!!





















April - the parents/grandparent visit and our trip to Sabino Canyon.. much different from the snow, huh?
