Meanwhile, Back in Arizona...

If you're a news junkie like I am, you must be feeling pretty overwhelmed these days as I am. So to take our minds off of all the strife and trouble in our world, I thought I'd share photos of recent happenings in my little world:

Storm & Grammy as he turns 24 hours old!

6/7/14: Thunder, Dan, & Gabe at Sunny's dance recital. I'm not sure what look Thunder's going for in this photo!

Gabe, Thunder, Katie

We provided the traditional flowers after the show

It was very bright out and hard to get her to look at the camera

A close-up of her required make up for the recital - she loved it!

This is a sampler I stitched for one of Katie's friends.
I love how it turned out, but it sure took longer than I  anticipated!

Roberta (Abuela) & Sunny at 5th BD party

My nephew Matt & my mom, JoAnne (Gigi)

Me & the BD girl - I think everyone wore the crown but her!

Blowing out the candles

Thunder 

Grammy Summer Camp
Dan & I found this Lincoln Log set at a yard sale.
When we got it home, there was only one piece missing!
It took me 45 minutes to put it together, guess I'm out of practice.

Thunder brought his horses to play in the fort.
I'm not sure what Sunny was doing!

Jessica got Sunny a neat sewing toy for her BD. You stitch the outfits on the doll. She loves to stitch, and did a great job!

We're getting her ready for cross-stitching!

At cooking class we made Root Beer Floats.


When we were finished, Dan & Thunder loved them, but Sunny said the soda was "too spicy" and didn't drink hers!

Me & the kids taking a cool break in the pool

Storm (our cousin Bev sent him this cap - he'll grow into it!) 

Jessica got this idea from Pinterest... it's so cute!

Gramps & Storm

I can't wait to see if he keeps his strawberry blond hair!

Rehearsal

Yesterday we held the rehearsal for the wedding. Sunny is so overwhelmed with excitement that she can hardly be contained. Normally that is a cute thing. But for a wedding... On the third try she did a great job of taking the petals from her little basket and dropping them on the ground. Of course, she was also saying out loud "grab and drop... grab and drop". Very cute!

After the rehearsal we adjourned to Katie and Gabe's for pizza and wings... and basketball (for some of them).

Enjoy the pictures!

Thunder's Here!

This morning at 6 am, Katie called to tell me they were headed to the hospital. She arrived there a little after 7 am. She was 6 cm dilated. Her water broke before they got her upstairs. They whisked her upstairs and after a little drama, Thunder was born at 9:36 am weighing 6 lb. 13 oz. and 20.5 inches long. Needless to say we are thrilled to pieces! I'll let the photos tell the story...

Katie right after the epidural. Ten minutes later he was here!
