Local Wildlife


Some friends and I get together with our kids and go walking 3 times a week. Today as we were finishing up our last round around the duck pond/lake, we saw some turtles sunning themselves on the rocks. We've only seen them once before so we thought it was pretty cool. Usually we just see a bunch of ducks and pigeons.

Helping Mom in the kitchen







So I decided to make chocolate chip cookies today while Tyler was off at meetings. Brig had to help stir the mix and than eat some of the choco chips one at a time. So while I was putting the dough on the tray Brig took everything out of the cupboard by me and climbed on it. It was fun trying to get a picture of him while in there. He kept playing peek-a-boo between the 2 cupboard doors.

New at this

Hey everyone! I think i've finally figured out how to do some things on our family blog but i'm not sure as to how much i know.

Well things are going good for us right now.

Tyler's job is doing great and he's enjoying it so much. Of course he still plays his video games and Magic cards but not nearly as much. Tyler's thinking of going back to school but its still up in the air. So we'll see what all happens on that end. Tyler has also gotten into rock climbing with one of our friends in our apartment complex. They have a great time doing it too. We went to the Phoenix Rock Gym last week and had a blast. I got worn out fast but Tyler could have kept going.

Brig is getting so BIG!!!! He's now 18 months and constantly on the go. We go the park 3 times a week and he's always running from one end of the play area to the other and sometimes over the short wall. Brig's got a very best friend names Emma who he is always wanting to play with and calls for her all day long. Right now he's down for a nap so I thought I'd give this a go. I can't believe how fast he's growing and how much he's learning. One of his favorite things to do is play with the dishwasher but lately he just wants to pull the sharp knives out so we have to keep him out of it.

As for me, not much is going on. I'm trying to get back in shape and lose all my extra weight. I walk 3 times a week at the Kiwanis Park in Tempe with 2 of my friends and their little girls. Plus I'm trying to get my diabetes back into control so that it will be okay to get pregnant again (not happening right now but before to long) and also just to be healthy again. Mostly the healthy part. Oh!! And I'm trying all these new recipes that are from diabetic cookbooks. They're not nearly as bad as I thought they'd be. So I'm starting to lose the weight but I've still got a ways to go. Not to much else is happening for me that I can think of right now. I'll try to keep you posted!!!
