Catching Up

We are back- we had to wait a week because we thought we didn't have pictures to post- but it turns out we did.  So we are just a week behind!

We've had a mellow two weeks and went from really cold and snowy to really, really beautiful 60 degree days.

We had enough snow two weeks ago that mom and I were able to build a snowman.  We are definitely getting better at this and were actually able to roll Mr. Man's middle and head.  It was kind of a mile stone for us!

Last Saturday, we had a kind of big snow storm.  They were predicting a blizzard of epic proportions but it really wasn't bad.  After burying me in some snow, we were able to head out to do some shopping.

I had the first of my three private swim lessons with Ms. Suzy on Wednesday and I loved it.  I worked hard and was tired but it was fun!
On Thursday, after having freezing temps early in the week, it was warm enough that we could have our girl scout meeting outside at the park.  It was awesome!

So up to this weekend- another quiet, mellow weekend.  My soccer season starts next week and I've completely outgrown all my soccer stuff from last season.  Mom and I headed out to buy some new cleats and shorts and that was it for the day.  It was pretty stellar.

So, it is the middle of March here and still kind of cold but mom is still on Tucson time.  In Tucson by this time of year, we have our garden in and are sitting on the patio eating our dinner.  Mom just couldn't take the winter stuff  here anymore and headed out to start hacking away at the ugly bushes we have in our front yard.  Her plan is to pull them out and plant something more native.  It was actually a chilly but nice morning and she made good progress.  She would have made better progress if she didn't have to stop every 2 minutes to help me climb our tree, but at least I was outside.
In the afternoon,  we headed out to the most awesomest park ever!  It is about 15 minutes from our house and has all kind of dangerous things to make parents nervous!
The is a huge, high climbing rock with a giant slide back down to the bottom...

It was so cool that even mom and dad gave it a try.  Dad made it look a little easier than mom but look at how high mom got off the ground.

After a fun afternoon, we headed home for some homemade pizza and a movie.  Dad is heading out for another week long business trip but then we are leaving our for our 10 day road trip to Tucson and Disneyland!  We will have lots of exciting updates coming up!  Until then, everyone have a wonderful week!
