Hometown 4th of July

We celebrated Independence Day 2010 in Show Low this year and I just LOVE celebrating that holiday at home!  I also brought along a very important guest this year (my boyfriend Travis) and got to show him around the lovely little town that I grew up in.  We enjoyed all the traditional activities including the parade, a BBQ with friends and fireworks.  The weather was so gorgeous it was difficult to come back to the oven that we live in.  We could just spend hours and hours outside without breaking a sweat at all and we even got chilly in the evening!

Long time, no blog

So many exciting things have been happening in my life lately - many blogworthy things - but they are also things that are taking up the time I used to use for blogging.  Thus, the long absence (over 5 months)!!  But I'm back and will try to be back more regularly. 

In the last 5 months:

• We had our annual "pink" dinner for Valentine's day

• We visited the zoo, had a yard sale

• Brenna joined a soccer team!

•  Brenna went to a cheer/dance/tumbling birthday party (which seemed to be more her forte than soccer)

• We celebrated Easter in Show Low with Jamie & Rylan

• Brenna got her ears peirced!

• We celebrated Mother's Day in Tucson with Grandma, Papaw, Jamie & Rylan

• Brenna graduated from Preschool!

• We went to a Diamondbacks game

• We spent one more weekend with Jamie & Rylan before they moved
