Catch Up

Another day in paradise. . . .

I loaded all of the pictures in reverse chronological order, so...

Girls' camp is finally over!!! Morgan had a Sunday evening to Saturday (7 days long) girls' camp as the ast. camp director. I bet she put in over 200 hours for that camp, and from the sounds of it, the girls are very grateful for Morgan's hard work. I am super grateful for Big Nanna, Bee Anna, Eli, Mary, and Lilly to drive all the way and take care of Boston while I worked and Morgan "camped." There were so many little things that you did for Boston, Morgan, and I--thank you, but especially thank you for caring for Boston. He needed you guys this week.

When the five were getting ready to go home, we all went to the Nifty Fifty diner (aka the nifty crappy) on the way out. Besides the horrible food, the bad service, and the waitress scam, I had a blast! When B.N., B.A., Eli, Mary, and Lilly were leaving, Boston was crying very loud yelling their names as they drove away. We miss you, we love you, and thank you.

The last night here, the big kids watched a movie in the living room, and Mary, Boston, and BeeAnna watched a doggie movie in the bedroom. They only lasted 15 or so minutes except for Anna. Boston sure misses you.

It took two of them to throw the trash away...Sorry girls
Sidewalk chalk...It was a blast, but the next morning, the land lady came over and told us we have to clean it up. She explained that sidewalk chalk is a nuissance to the complex. Oops

Playing at Rumsey Park

Fishing at Green Valley Park

Anna got her hair stuck in the reel. Not the most proud moment for the fishing master, but you did us proud.

When we went fishing here, we pulled about 12 sun fish out in an hour. There were half a dozen people there fishing that didn't catch anything. All we had were $12 poles and worms and we couldn't put bait on fast enough. It was a lot of fun. Anna caught the most

Boss and Eli playing intendo

Boston's best buds: Daddy Bear, George, and Blue (the very best friend which is the blanket)

Boss and Mii-Miew

Boss and Daddy

At the movies watching up...everything there was snuck in -- even the popcorn.

George was biting, so he had to sit in time out

Boston made sure to give him a hug and explain that he can't bite...

Night walk

Again, with his buddies: George, Baby, Podge, and Blue (the blanket who is the very best of friends)

Got a little hot....

When we went to the wedding, Boston had a lot of fun with Grandma McDaniel...What is she teaching him?

Boston loves Linken...Shannon wasn't present

This is what I (Joe) have to compete with at nights...aahhhh!

Playing with cousins and aunts

At Michelle's wedding...

Boston had to go to timeout for hitting...

This was at a Payson Car show...doesn't that look like Mater off of Cars?

Mii-Miew's Birthday

We went to fossil springs...more hiking than fun though. We know how to do it right next time...

Easter Egg Hunting was fun

Easter Bunny... not so fun

These were the last minutes with Tink...we were sad to see her go, but not that sad.

We went to the Diamondbacks opening day, 100 plus degrees out, and we had a bad poopy diaper. Thanks Morgan for covering the goo...

Chase Stadium - Covered

Time out for biting. . . some days he is there more than others.

Happy Birthday Boston! #2
The Birthday was a Lightning McQueen format at the park. The party was around Radiator Springs with toys, a race, a Tow-Mater fishing, and a Pin-the-tail on Dinoco.

Joe and Bos doing Rock Band

We found him like this one morning...we don't understand it at all. What is all the toilet paper for?

The Tonto Natural Bridge...kinda cool

Playing at the Park - fake grass

Wants his Mii-Miew...she had to go to church early for meetings.
