Luke Air Show....

We went to the Luke Air Show this weekend with thousands of other people. We had to wait about an hour just to get into the base. It was amazing and the weather was perfect, but we sure had sore feet and backs by days end.

Loved The Snow...

In the high country it snowed and the kids were itching to go play in it, so over the long holiday weekend we drove towards Payson. In actuality it wasn't as cold as I thought it would be with the sun shining nice and brightly that day for us. As you can see the kids had a fabulous time throwing snowballs at Terry instead of me this time around. I was busy snapping pictures as I tried to dodge the throws of fierce targeting skills from both sides. It was a great time to spend together as a family and our first time with Terry in the white powder as he is used to this weather being from colder states than Az. He was amazed at how excited my kids became as we got closer to spotting snow on the ground even though it wasn't that deep. Lo and behold does he know that here in Az it is a nice change for us and not very often seen or played in enough here in the deserty west. Anyways great memories were made with no broken glasses or bruises on anyone...yeah lucky me...I survived another round of snow...













Terry chasing the kids with his snowballs...so comical too

Safford visit

For the pioneer celebration days we headed toward Safford for the weekend with the kids. We had a great time seeing family and the Gila temple as we drove by. Safford had a family dance to start the weekend off, and a parade, bbq, and fireworks the following day. As you can see we had a blast just visiting and having fun together.

Happy Birthday Sabrina

Over the years my sweet daughter Sabrina has given me joy along with the grief too, but it certainly has made me stronger these past few years. Sabrina is now sweet 16 and she has grown into a beautiful young lady. Happy Birthday to you....
