You can't be late until you show up

I cannot believe how long it has been since I have added a post!

Life as usual has dealt some completely random things. Its amazing how one action can have such a unexpected outcome. Its one of those things where you wake up and you can't remember whether or not you are dreaming. Some of you may know what I am talking about, others will find out over time I am sure.

Other news, the kids are out of school for the next 3 weeks for their fall break. It will be nice to have Hailey home during the day, the hard part will be keeping her busy. We are contemplating a trip up to the Grand Canyon the last week the kids are out of school, we will see whether or not it works out.

School for me has been going well, there is 1 class in particular where the instructor must be convinced that I have nothing better to do with my time, so she piles on the homework. Luckily we are almost half way through the semester!

I have posted some pictures from last night.. we went to Chuy's near our home and ended up having a blast! We sat on the patio and there ended up being live music. Amy was down for Phoenix, so she joined us.

Labor Day Weekend 2009

This Labor Day Weekend my parents came into town and stayed at the Embassy Suites. We pretty much hung out there all weekend swimming, eating and enjoying some college football!

The Parents:









Hailey playing with her new camera:










Again.......










Chloe was wide awake....











And passed out just as fast!













I must admit this is a little random.. we parked in the parking lot next to a GMC Acadia (I think) and we decided to take a picture to point out the similarities.. the picture didn't turn out to well, but it seemed like a brilliant idea at the time!
















Hope everyone had a fun and safe Labor Day Weekend!!!!

Rain in the Desert

My favorite part about Tucson weather is the awesome temperatures in the winter time, and the monsoon during the summer. This year I think all Tucsonans have felt a little ripped off because our monsoon season has consisted of maybe 7 or 8 days this year. Well today it happened... It rained and it rained hard, in fact it is still raining!

There is no comparing the smell of rain in the desert, it is a smell I long for all year round, and finally we get to experience it once again! I tried to take some pictures of the rain, but unfortunately they really don't capture the rain image!
