February Update

While most of the rest of the country has dealt with a colder-than-normal winter, in Arizona we’ve had one of the warmer winters of late. We’ve been taking full advantage of the good weather by being outside.
After a few days of the girls (mostly Ava) begging to go swimming, we took the girls to the heated community pool. Like her big sister, Ali loves going up high.

After a while in the pool the girls went to the hot tub to warm up a bit.

Ava and her friends McKenzie and Lilly went hiking one day.

The little siblings were interested in the maps and the displays of desert plants.

We love to take advantage of our great library system. Ava saw the singing cowboy and his trick horse Dusty on one Saturday afternoon.

And the whole family did shake, rattle, and roll another weekend…Ava brought the cat from school.

While Ali shaked the shakers…

On President’s Day, Ava’s school had the ice rink near our house reserved. So Ava laced up the skates and went out on the ice.

The girls went to a birthday party at AZ Air Time, which was full of trampolines and foam pits for the girls to play in.

Ali found the cupcakes to be “finger licking good”.

The next day Ava and Ali took a ride with Bradley (the birthday boy) in his new jeep..

Later in the weekend, Ava found another neighbor’s motorcycle.

The girls like hanging outside with Pepper.

Ali had fund rolling down the driveway in a dump truck.

Ali also found the tractors at the tractor park.

And she is working her way up to full somersaults.

At home, the girls love playing with each other.

Off to catch the girls…
