The Quarterly Update

Think that's what I'll start putting in the title spot of all my posts.  Maybe I'll even indicate which quarter and year.  Seems like that is about the frequency I'm managing these days!

I left off right before Spring hit.  Which means Bremen had a Pinewood Derby!  I was negligent in getting pictures of the car-making process.  But here we go with race day!

Weighing in, adjustments and rechecking - all very important processes.

 
The stripped beauty is Bremen's!







He had fun and so did we!
 
 
 
 
 
 
Then we got to meet Lilly!!
 
 
 
She is adorable with squishy, kissable cheeks!!
 
We played a lot with all the kids here.  Here's a little of what went on:
 













We had a family picnic at Desert Breeze park.  That was a fun time and it was great to see all the families that were in Arizona together.  (As always, we missed our Idaho family!)
 





 
 
 
We made it to the zoo with Bremen, Sofia, Lilly and Kendal!  I love going to the zoo with the kids - it's fun seeing their excitement over the animals.
 







 


 Kendal was excited to see the ostriches!!





Bremen was one with the stingrays!






 


Lilly just hung out while we were all running through the zoo!
 
 
 
On the way home, Kendal wanted to use my camera.  Here is her picture of her shoes...



 
 
The next big thing was Hunter's birthday party!!  Yay for living in Arizona - we've missed a couple of his birthday parties. : (   As usual, Patrick and Heather made a fabulous cake for the event!
 
 
 
There was a bounce house, a pinata, opening gifts, pizza and cake and ice cream - what more can you ask of a birthday party?
 





 
 
Then we were privileged to attend Kailee's high school dance performance.  Flash photography is a no-no, so I took some video and captured some stills from the video.  Quality isn't there, but you get the idea!
 


 
 
 
And that brings us pretty much up to speed with life in Lambson Land!  See ya next quarter! ; )
