My kids REALLY want a pet!

This lucky lizard was fortunate enough to have gotten trapped between our window and screen and therefore become pet for a day!

We did a little research to find out what kind of lizard it is (common AZ lizard btw) :) and found out it is a girl. Common AZ female lizards have a patch of orange on their throats (the males have blue on their legs), as well as a diamond pattern down their back--she was known as 'diamond' for the day. :)

Desk re-do

I've been saying I want to give Tom's desk a facelift for a while (a LONG while)...and I finally got around to it!! It needed it pretty bad!

Amazing what a coat of stain and new hardware can do!

The finished product!

Jola's Baby Shower

Marcia(Guest) and I visit teach Jola and got to throw her a shower with Laura(Shamblin). It was at my place and sooo cute (most of which cuteness I cannot claim!). Jola is such a cute prego lady!!

Soccer

Ava started soccer, and she is loving it!

You know you're a mom if...

(Yes, that is the bathroom door.)

Heavy Metal Fans

The dental fun has begun! Belle now has braces and expander and Ava has a retainer (to push one of her front teeth that was WAY behind her bottom teeth forward). They both went with the blue and white theme--go cougars!!!

Craigslisting fun!!
