Chillin

The weather here is nice in March so we have been enjoying the outdoors. We played a little corn toss the other day in the front yard and chatted with the neighbors, although I put these up mainly to see if you notice anything different about Mary Ellen...





We went hiking at Saguaro Lake which is about an hour from Phoenix. We got there the Forest Ranger told us you need a parking pass to get in...the funny thing is that they don't sell them there (despite the ranger being there sitting in the ranger booth), so you have to drive an hour back to Phoenix to buy one. We ended up parking outside and walking for about 45 minute through parking lots and boat launches to get to the lake. nice.


On the way back we stopped at Fountain Hills for a little picnic. Fountain hills is basically a retirement community. See if you can see why they call it FOUNTAIN hills...

While there I did a little kite flying. I bought the kite for Mary Ellen's b-day 2 years ago and we had NEVER gotten it in the air, so finally we succeeded.

Mary Ellen you look wonderful. Hope the pregnancy is going well. God bless you both (and baby too) this Holy Week.

Mary Ellen, you look FABULOUS!!! We're all so excited to see the little stud muffin. Great pictures!

Love the new look Mary Ellen! You two certainly know how to have fun.

Having the Sheriff here certainly has reinforced our thoughts that government is the problem not the solution....like the Ranger at the Station!!!!!! Have you googled Sheriff Richard Mack yet? His talk was great last night.
