A visit to Arizona!

July was a big month for us!  It's hard to believe that Tucker is now 1!  What a year it has been!  He is doing so well and changing every day!  He's our little firecracker! :)


After learning of my Grandma's death (my dad's mom), the kids and I decided to go to Arizona to help with all of the things related to that.  It turned out to be a 7 week trip!  Jason is coming later for 2 1/2 weeks.  
Since we have been here, the kids have gotten to experience a number of things, but their favorite so far is going to the farm that some friends own and where some other friends have their chickens.  We have gone several times to collect eggs and feed.  We have even gotten to milk a cow!  Paige got to ride a horse (as did Tucker).

 Trying to figure out what the brown stuff is...

 She LOVES the chickens...and they are so friendly!

We have now ventured into August.  Paige is now 5!!  Where has the time gone?  She is now in Kindergarten this year and will be going to school at home!  We are so excited for this year.  She has also started Sparks while we are in Arizona and will continue AWANA in Colorado!  Jason is coming in the next week and we will be having her birthday party with all of her friends and family!


 We will be in Arizona until September and are anxious to get back home, but are loving the time with family and friends!  We are excited about the upcoming homeschool year with Paige and are so blessed to be able to homeschool her!  God is so good!!

Well, it's 2009! Where has the time gone? We are looking forward to a great year!
Paige, 17 months now, is the joy of our lives! She is so much fun and everyday makes us smile and laugh. She is growing up so much and talking more and more! It's getting colder now, so we have to play inside alot. Her sandbox sits empty for the winter. Soon enough, it will be spring and we will be out and about! We are planning on planting a garden - she will love being in the dirt. It will be a great outdoor activity!
Jason is still traveling back and forth to Phoenix, which is a long drive for him, but he and I are so thankful that he has a good job! He is currently involved in our church's Men's Fraternity and is the director of our AWANA's TREK (junior high) group (as am I). We are also involved in a young families group as well.
I am still staying at home and enjoying the precious time I have with Paige. I also babysit my friend's little boy as well. They are great friends already! :)
We are planning for more children, and are sure it will happen in God's time! We are so thankful for all of His provisions in our lives! HAPPY 2009!
