The Past 24 Hours

Maddie and Austin got to hang out this weekend! We have enjoyed them so much, they are just the cutest!

San Tan Mall splash pad and outdoor play area was a hit!

Liam didn't think the terriaki chicken was as yummy as everyone else.

Supper heroes to the rescue! Liam, I mean Minnie Mouse ran out to check the mail.

Olivia is not one of Micheal Jackson's kids, we do let her show her face in public!

Lil ladies out walking their baby.

Whose Kids Are These?

"Hello" my name is Branson.

We had over some friends on Tuesday to play! I had to snap some shots of their 7 month old to show you! YES, I said 7 month old...You could seriously just eat him he is so stinkin cute.

Kenlie, Branson's 3 year old sis had a blast with Olivia. The girls spent the afternoon dinning with a Strawberry Shortcake tea and plate set.

Thanks for a great play date!

You Won't Burn Your Thighs On the Swings Here!

This is a prime example of what we have to do in Arizona by the end of the summer, when we just can't take the heat any longer!

P.S. Shh Honey has not seen this yet!

A year already...wow time has flown by!

Can't believe I started this blog over a year ago. Seems like it was just yesterday when I was calling a friend to ask here how to turn a computer on. (Love you Kez)

I am putting up a few giveaways to thank you for your time, prayers and the way you have loved my family through all of the hard times this last year has brought us.

There have been so many awesome, amazing, and truly heart felt moments that have come from this blog. I have had 4 friends come to know Christ just in the past year....two were just baptized in water. For just one person out there to strengthen their walk with the Lord would have been more than I could have ever asked for, but for people to start a walk with him is outstanding!

Looking forward to many more years of sharing my family with you.

Arizona Wildlife Zoo

This beautiful Zebra did not care for the piece of pretzel honey was trying to feed it! Look at the giraffe's tongue! It was over a foot long and black....yum!

DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS. We never saw a sign.....shhh!

The monkey we met was so sweet, he also loved pretzels and popcorn! He would grab your fingers to see if you had any left, his hand felt like rubber!
The kids were able to pet/feed everything from starfish to deer, they loved every minute of it.

Not only is the Arizona Wildlife Park a zoo but they also have this new awesome 3 building aquarium. You truly get your money's worth here!

Preemie Doll Reborn By Me!

This sweet girl was Reborn on August 30th with only 15 hours of "labor"...

Her newborn baby skin tone was established with many different layers of paint, veins delicately placed, a stork bite on her forehead, and even a heart shaped beauty mark on her left thigh all designed by myself. Weighted with glass beads to a perfect preemie weight of 3lbs. 2ozs. With her tiny legs bent she is just over 16inches long.

Her nails are all painted with white tips, lips are glossed, eyebrows, and her eyelashes were hand painted. She is even scented with baby powder and is wearing a preemie size Pampers Swaddler!

Baby's angelic glass eyes look so real! You are able to wash, brush and care for her soft top quality Mohair that was all hand rooted piece by piece.

I listed her on Ebay last night, her reserve is $99 and included free shipping! If she does not sell I know a little mommy that I bet would love to adopt her.

I going complete a Reborn prior to Christmas and hold a "special" giveaway, I am so excited to tell you about it soon!

Fun in the Sun!

My dear friend Mandy and her family made a visit to Scotsdalle this weekend from North Carolina.

Did I mention poor Mandy is in this Arizona heat at 7 months pregnant? The pool was a perfect escape for her!

Look at those biceps!


Beautiful mermaids!

Water from the wall fountain sure was yummy!
