What's Happening?

What's happening in Tucson?


Ryan and Ashley have been busy getting ready for arrival of baby boy.  Only about a month to go now!!
Note: His name will NOT be Axel.

 

 Went out to lunch with them and had some tasty Mexican food.  After that got my DPT shot from Ashley and she even gave me a  CVS bandaid.  : ) 


Always lots going on at Kevin and Caroline's house - swimming, dinner, games.
Collin knows how to play chess now.  It seems just yesterday that Uno was the game of choice.

The new game for the whole family is "Rock Band" - and here they are rockin' out!  So cute to hear the 2 year old sing:  We will, we will Rock You!! 
 
 

Kevin on guitar.  He always wins.  In case his day job doesn't work out, he can always rely on this amazing skill.

Not in Tucson - but here's Quinn with cute bathtub hair style.  The things kids have to put up with at Yaya's house!

Parades and Patriots ... no pinheads here!

More 4th of July moments....




Parade.

 Colonial costumes and other fun activities at the park showed what things were like in 1776.





 


Cooling off with homemade frozen yogurt.  Who says these kids don't know how to share?

Some pool time.
 Notice Quinn is standing up all by himself!  Just waiting to take a few first steps.

Claire and friend with popsicles.

And finally the Fireworks!!

Oops - no pictures, but you know what they look like.

Up, Up and Away!

 What did you do on the 4th of July?

With Ken off on a trip with his motorcycle buddies, I spent 4th of July with Suzy and family.  We got up early, before 6AM, to see the hot air balloons - which was well worth it.

 
 



 I had no idea we could be in the middle of 25 balloons as they all got ready to take off!

Very Cool!



 


The pink pig was Claire's favorite!  So exciting to touch it as it was inflating!






There they go!!

 




Up, up and away!!!
More 4th of July highlights coming soon.....

Yellowstone Adventures

This is the second of 2 new blogs.  Be sure to see the previous blog with pics of Ryan & Ashley's baby shower.   Here are five of the six cute grandkids - in Sunday best!


The next day, Ryan and Ashley had to return to AZ, but the rest of the family traveled up to Yellowstone for a few days.   Geysers, hiking, animal sitings!
