MELONS!!

I just had to post a few pictures of our growing watermelons and cantelope. We're so excited. We love our little garden, and because of Christopher's insane attention to detail, we have had some good success. In fact he does a fantasitc job with our entire yard.
This spring we decided to try melons for the first time. With this crazy heat they are growing like wildfire. I can't wait to try them in a couple of months--they should be fabulous!

KEENAN IN THE COMFORT OF HIS OWN HOME

I TELL EVERYBODY THAT I HAVE ONE OF THE FUNNIEST KIDS ALIVE. KEENAN IS MOST FUNNY WHEN WE'RE AT HOME JUST HANGING OUT. HERE ARE A COUPLE OF VIDEO CLIPS I TOOK DURING DINNER.

"THIS IS AMERICAN IDOL"

SINGING "GUITAR HERO"

BIKES AND SKATEBOARDS AND HALF NAKED BOYS--OH MY!

AS YOU ALL KNOW IT'S SPRING TIME HERE IN ARIZONA AND THE HEAT IS ON! HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES OF THE BOYS RIDING THEIR BIKES AND SKATEBOARDS...BE WARNED SOME OF THESE PICTURES INCLUDE HALF NAKED BOYS. APPARENTLY IT WAS TOO HOT FOR CLOTHING????

I LOVE THIS KID!

KEENAN PUT ON THESE SASSY NEON SOCCER SOCKS AND PROCEEDED TO RUN UP AND DOWN OUR STREET AS IF HE WERE THE INCREDIBLE HULK. IT WAS TRULY HILARIOUS. I HOPE HE NEVER GROWS OUT OF WEARING HIS UNDERWEAR IN PUBLIC!

CAUGHT IN THE ACT!

I GUESS SHE WAS HUNGRY...

THIS BABY GIRL EMPTIES MY PANTRY DAILY! HONESTLY I LOVE IT! I WILL BE SO SAD WHEN SHE IS NO LONGER MY TINY CHUBBY BABY MAKING MESSES.

Time for a Post

I can't believe it's already April 1st! This year is flying by, so I thought I better put up a few pictures from the 1st quarter of 2009. None of them are in order, but really who cares right?

We're a little late in posting, but these are some of our Christmas 2008 Highlights. It was a wonderfully simple Christmas this year. We made cupcakes, had Christmas Eve dinner with the Coates, had a visit from Santa and we were set! Seriously my favorite Christmas EVER!
