Day 2 - Hello Phoenix

Here we are enjoying the sunshine. All the kids wanted to do was swim.  I told them it had to get about 70 degrees outside before I took them swimming.  So, in the morning we just played at the park and hung out.  Lauren went to her cousin’s house and watched the new Barbie movie and did art projects.  Perfect day for Lauren.

Meredith on the other hand was free to go and shop without kids.  She has been anxious to go to Down East and spend a lot of money!  Actually, I plan each year and set aside money so she can buy things at this store.  It’s her favorite clothing store I think.  They don’t have a store in Oregon, so she waits for our yearly trip to Arizona to stock up.  Sometimes she wants me to come along and I quickly pull out the “I’ll be a good husband and take care of the kids so you can shop alone” excuse.  She could easily spend an hour or two there.  Not sure my knees could handle that.

After Meredith finished her shopping, I took the kids swimming. I don’t think my kids could be any happier. They just love to swim. Seems like such a simple thing. It’s fun to see them so happy.

What is wrong with this picture?  There isn’t a cloud in the sky.  That is what’s wrong.  I am from Oregon and there is always a cloud in the sky.  I couldn’t find one all day today.

These are two hummingbirds in my Mom’s back yard.  They are so small.  If I held two quarters up they would almost cover the nest.  They should be leaving the nest soon.  We will try and keep an eye on them.

I am not sure any food made it in Ava’s mouth today.

Maeser and Tyler sporting the same hair cuts.  Nothing like a little pac man competition.

Dinner was great as usual.  Thanks to Maeser for the awesome recipe.

  1. Looks awesome! I love that swimsuit Lo Lo is wearing. That was one of our favorites around here.

    Enjoy the sun. You are missing tons of grey sky and rain drops here.
