METEOR CRATER

In the visitor center at Meteor Crater, there was a picture you could pose in front of to make it look like you were in the bottom of the crater. Madison and her friends Ashlyn and Ellie posed for the shot. We had a ton of fun going around to see all the different sights. A tour bus is a tough way to get around, though. My back will probably ache for a month because we were crammed in like sardines for hours at a time, but we made a lot of fun memories. I thought it was funny that we drove all the way to mainly see the Grand Canyon, but when we got there, most of the kids just wanted to play in the snow. That's what you get from a bunch of Tucson kids going to places where they see snow. Many of them had never seen it before. Amazing but true. They all got soaking wet, but had a blast.

Field trip

Here's a shot of Madison and the two other girls we had in our group, Ashlyn and Ellie. They are giving their silly pose in front of the indian ruins we visited.

Mascots

Here's a picture of Madison and me on our recent field trip to the Grand Canyon, Wupatki National Monument, Sunset Crater National Monument and Meteor Crater. We spent a TON of time on the bus just getting to all the different places, but we had fun doing it. Our tour guides had some friends they brought along to add to the educational experience...

House for sale

Well, it's official. Our home is up for sale and we have had the first few potentials come through to look at it. Hopefully it will sell quickly so we can focus our energy on a new home in LAS VEGAS. Southwest has a hub there, so it will make things much better for my job and for our quality of life. I will be able to spend a lot more time at home instead of commuting. It will also get us closer to family on both sides. We look forward to taking quick trips around the country as well.

Some misc fun family pics

Valentines Day PARTY!!!

Heather always goes CRAZY for parties and fun for the girls. She always throws a huge Valentines Day party for the girls and their friends. She went over the top this year with pizza, games, crafts, and treats. The girls made their own picture frames (I blew it by not having our photo printer ready) and layered on their own toppings for their cupcakes. Needless to say, the party was a huge hit. This is a picture of Heather and her friend, Kelly Murdock, proudly displaying their fun and yummy creations.

Cupcakes... Mmmmmmm

Gabrielle had a sugar high that lasted the rest of the night...
