Trip to AZ

So I want to post some pics of my 4-day trip to see family in Mesa. My little (haha 6'2"!!!)brother graduated high school and had his eagle court of honor. I was loving the heat of 95 degree days. Such a change from the cool spring weather we have had here in Spokane.

Beautiful outdoor setting. Like I said 95 degrees...glad we got seated on the shady side.

There he is. I couldn't get the focus right. bleh

Wolkenzauber

Oh can I dream!!! Look at that fabulos black mane and tail.

I spent a relaxing and engaging evening with my good friends at book club. Tonight's book was Rise to Rebellion by Jeff Shaara. A great read! And good discussion about the American Revolution and the personalities, catalysts, and inspiration behind it. Fun to think about and discuss history when I won't be tested on it tomorrow ;) I love my friends. This is one evening a month that I never miss.

A love Mailbox

There is nothing like writing a half hour of love notes from everybody to everybody to make a big girl feel loved again. L was having a "I am stupid and hated" episode this afternoon. But our homemade mailbox did the trick and now we are all heading to bed with warm fuzzys instead of cold pricklys. g'nite

The common curse...

Do you cringe like I do when so many iffy words are flung around. I am so grateful that I grew up in a house where intelligent language was taught and expected, and garbage was left outside.

This is a great article that I ran across:

Some Winter Woolies

Well the flu ran through our whole family ending finally with Lyssa. She stayed home from school for two days--it seemed like it lasted about 2 days for each of us...YUCK!!!

I have been working 5 nights a week since the day after Christmas and it has thoroughly put a kink in our routines. Especially the dinner and bedtime ones. Poor Scott has done a fantastic job of bedtime--putting his own fabulous spin on the job. But his energy has petered out and is ready for this month of work to come to an end. It will slow back down in the next few weeks and I will be back at 2-3 nights a week. Much more manageable.

I aught to at least put up a few winter pics of all of us having fun in the snow, so here you go.
