- The way Kate sleeps. (I am a creepy parent that takes more pictures than I can count of my babies sleeping ;) Kate wants the royal tuck in before she goes to bed - an arc of stuffed animals around her head so it's always interesting to see how she ends up falling asleep with them all - this night we could hardly find her ;)
- My cute morning buddies :) (On Monday and Fridays when David doesn't have preschool)
- Kate and her "Baba" - she carried her Kitty backpack around all last weekend :)
- "Hiking" at the Riparian Preserve - we are crossing our fingers that David will love hiking this year because there is no way Spencer can pack him this year!!!
- AZ sunsets!!!
- Field trip chaperoning for Jack! We went to the zoo and had so much fun. (Aside from the fact that the bus took the 202 EAST to the Phoenix Zoo and then took the 202 all the way back on the way back too! We drove 25 minutes in the WRONG direction before looping around and heading to the zoo. No one wants double time on a stinky and hot bus!)
The baby orangutang was my favorite!
Jack and I may have the record for the most time a mother/son duo have ever spent at zoos :) I took him to the Birmingham zoo about 2-3 times a week for about two years when he was a baby! haha
I loved watching him in his element with all of this friends :)
- Biking with Kate! I took her on a ride this Saturday while the boys went fishing and she LOVED it. I got a little sad when I passed the trail right by my parent's old house - I wished that I could have just stopped by to say hi for a bit. It's hard to put into words how disorienting it feels to move back to a familyless Arizona. How could just four humans not living here anymore so drastically change the way Arizona feels to me? It's like I'm living in a nostalgic ghost town or something and my heart feels homesick for something that no longer exists. It used to be really hard for me to imagine a life where I could just stop by my parent's house during the week just to say "hi" or to get together with them for Sunday dinners or birthdays or sibling's sporting events because I've never lived close to family as an adult. The problem with living in Arizona is that it's too easy to imagine that life that I missed by just six months. At least I have shrimp mango quesadillas and bobas to help me cope with all of these emotions ;)
Kate LOVED the horses!
We met up with some cute fisherman at the Riparian :) Spoiler alert: they did not catch a fish.
- Fishing with a net at Discovery Park - it is seriously the fasted and most fun way to fish :) The kids caught multiple fish within 10 seconds - we all love it!
- Jack and David, who spend their afternoons at the park with neighbors doing "dinosaur" stuff. The other day, they made "hybrid" dinosaur eggs by gluing leaves to rocks. I love their imaginations :)
- Kate's curls!
It's a hot mess after sleeping and after jumping on the tramp :)
