My Once Upon a Time...

I've never been a big hiker before, but I really enjoyed doing some hikes with friends this spring. There's something about exercising outside with good company and beautiful scenery...and I already miss it and can't wait for the winter.  This was a five mile hike with my friend Tiffany. A few days after, a few of my friends and I took all of our kids on an easy hike. We didn't get very far, but they all had fun. Henry and Fox always hold hands and I think it's so sweet.  Of course my kid had to be the odd one out...haha.

Finn loves all of the animals and told me the other day "We need to go back to the zoo, because the flamingos are missing us!". No, it didn't rain (because it seems like it never does in Phoenix), but they wanted to play with the umbrella outside. Whatever keeps them entertained, right? Fox worked so hard that week and I was so proud when he brought his math test and spelling test home that Friday.  A rare picture of just me. The trampoline has probably been the best gift the boys ever received, we use it all the time. This doesn't happen too often anymore, so when it does, it needs to be documented. My happy place...stuck under a baby. Fox came out of our half bath and...
