Making a special picture for Grandma Mary and Papa Tom

My parents came to Arizona for a month vacation from the cold Iowa weather. We enjoyed seeing them so often!

The finished pictured for Grandma and Papa

It is a picture of Grandma, Papa, Carson and Charlie
... and the sun and a beetle.

Carson sporting his new shirt from Grandma Gwen. She heard what an Olympics fanatic Carson was and sent this to him. He has loves pretending to speed skate, ice skate and ski!

Got our few Easter decorations out. Charlie loves to cuddle up to this particular bunny for some reason.

The yellow duck does the "chicken dance" and apparently Charlie is showing them all how it goes!

Love them bunny ears!

Bath fun with the boys



I like to eat anything... including bubbles!






All clean and watching a show

Sammie Girl

Little Buds

Sammie just watching the boys play

Charlie playing puzzles

And Carson with his puzzles

Just plain silliness right here...

Finding his belly button

It's there somewhere...


Boomer being his usual self

And again with the totes... this time the "tool tote"

While my parents were here we spent a day at the Phoenix Open

My dad where they stayed... what's the speed limit??

My parents by their "home" for the month

They had a great time and are already talking about coming back for longer next year!
