charlie

Richard wanted a dog for graduation, so he brought home a boxer named Charlie. As you can imagine, the kids are over the moon about this, and Richard is pretty excited too. Charlie is about a year old and his previous owner had done some training, so he is very well behaved. We are past the chewing everything in sight stage and he just runs around the yard. He loves to play fetch and hates the water (just like his cousin Angus!)

pinewood derby

This year was Garrett's first Pinewood Derby and he did a great job! He designed his car after Ramone from the Cars movie. He won 1st place in a couple of rounds and 2nd place in a couple of rounds. He also won Judges Choice for his design. We are so proud! He really worked hard on his car.

happy easter!

coloring easter eggs

This year we were able to color eggs out on the back patio. (Have I mentioned I love "winter" in Arizona?) Garrett decided that he would rather play with his friends that to color eggs with us, so it was just Jack and Grace. They didn't mind of course, it meant more eggs for them to color. Tomorrow they get to take the eggs to preschool for their Easter party.
