Happy Momma's Day!!

For Momma's Day, Mia & Momma climbed Squaw Peak to start the morning!  Mia can now go anywhere Momma goes, from hiking to boxing...  Followed by brunch at home, some swimming & lounging, and dinner at the Phoenician.  Was a truly relaxing day for our Momma who is so selfless and loving.  She deserves the rare break!

Duck Pond!

The other morning we awoke to find the Twins out back feeding a duck who was swimming around in our pool like he was in a pond... They thought they had a new pet!

The Snuggler!

Brandon has become quite the ladies man!  He's always been quite the entertainer, but lately he's been learning to work his magic on the ladies...  And I'm not kidding!  Where ever we go, he will always spot the prettiest girl in the room, and within moments be on her lap, or holding her hand.  It's quite entertaining.  Especially when Mia's friends come over!  Here is a photo from this weekend.  Mia's best friend, Kiera, came over to watch a movie.  Where was Bubba?  Of course he was canoodling with Kiera on her bean bag chair.  Even had her rubbing his belly...  That's Daddy's boy!!

Skateboarding Family!!

As most of you know, Mia has been committed to skateboarding for the past few years...  She was recently invited to join the 'Academy', which is a private group of skateboarders at the highest level of the sport, pre-professional.  She now has lessons twice a week, for 3 hours each!  It's quite a commitment, but she hasn't faltered.  She likes ramp, or vert, skating the best.  She drops in on 12 foot mini-mega ramps and clears 6 foot gaps.  It's pretty impressive to see a little person doing such crazy stuff!  Now, lo and behold, Aubrey has announced she wants to be like her big sister and begin skating!!  So over the past few weeks Aubs has begun taking lessons.  It's kind of strange starting over, but really fun to see her following in her big sister's footsteps.  Taking them to skate parks in California this summer is going to be a real treat!

Cotton Candy Goggles!

Last week we took the kids to an Arizona Diamondbacks baseball game.  Brandon announced that he brought his 'cotton candy goggles', to ensure he found a sufficient supply of the basic requirements in life.  Namely, cotton candy!  The kid is very serious about his sweets...  He's a goof!

Big Rider!

Mia has made Daddy proud by becoming quite the off roader!  She races her dirt bike out in the desert, and romps on her RZR.  Her confidence, and ability to control the throttle, have really grown. She's an impressive little girl!

Dinner Time!

For some strange reason the kid's have decided that their favorite place to eat dinner is on the fireplace!  Strange...

Lazy Sunday Afternoon!

Last weekend we set up a shade tent in the back yard and spent the entire afternoon playing croquet & softball, took a family nap in the shade, had a picnic and just generally enjoyed one of the most relaxing and enjoyable afternoons of our lives!  Nothing like quality time with the kidlets...
