Still Here

Yesterday was one of those glorious winter/ spring days that we have here in Phoenix where the temperature was warm in the sun and perfect in the shade with a light breeze. After a scheduled-by-the minute Saturday it felt good to be lazy Sunday morning with the kids while JP went for a ride. The whole family attended a birthday party which was at a really neat park that afforded us views of the surrounding mountains instead of busy streets and power lines. It was an enjoyable party where the kids ran free and the adults visited and it was early enough in the day that we got to spend the rest of the afternoon having family backyard time. The kids played and rode their bikes through the tall grass. New Kid even enjoyed lying in the dense clover patches which I can remember doing as a kid because they are so soft.

It has been a busy winter for us with soccer games, baseball practice, and bike races. Soccer is finishing up as baseball games start and we will soon have weekend ballet rehearsal for her Spring Recital. Life is full and it has been difficult to keep up with basic chores like laundry, weeding and mowing the yard. We had way too many other fun things to do. 

Next week is Spring Break and I hope to use some of my vacation to catch up on blogging and updating pictures. In the meantime enjoy this photo below. This tough little buddy who is soon to be TEN will be the starting pitcher in his game tonight and we are all excited and nervous (at least Mom is).
