We had a beautiful weekend here in Phoenix, finally. It was about 80 to 85 degrees all weekend, which is the first time we have had this in months. We enjoyed being outside and just playing.
I got out on Saturday night and caught up with my dear friends, Angie and Ann. It was a wonderful time and I always leave wondering why we don't do it more often. I really need to make more of an effort to get out and about a little more.
Jim's been actively tearing down and re-building our walls in between the living room and kitchen. It's just wonderful how big and open it feels, I love it. He is re-building a partial wall that will actually be a "bar" to sit and be able to eat/drink while watching TV or conversing between the two roooms. It's going to be fantastic! And along with it will come new counter tops and possibly even new cupboards, we will have to see how far the dollar will stretch.
Riley has started baseball with his first practice tonight. Jim is the manager/coach again this year and has put together a really good team with, it seems, great parents. Great parents are always so important at this stage to prevent unnecessary conflict. Afterall, the sports are really about the kids having fun, not which parent can dominate the most.
Here's to a great week for all. Enjoy.
Annie
Annie is the newest member of our family.
We adopted her from the Humane Society on Super Bowl Sunday. She is a 3 year old Boxer who was treated unfairly by other dogs in her old home.
She and Libby are feeling each other out and doing pretty good. She doesn't bark and loves Riley, follows him everywhere.
She sticks her tongue out between her teeth like this all the time, it's the cutest thing.

Last Saturday we spent the day at the new Aquarium at the Wild Life World Zoo. We had a great day and enjoyed the Aquarium and the revamped zoo. The Aquarium portion even has a log ride that takes you thru a tunnel with fish swimming all around you. It's nice to have something like this in Phoenix.
Learning to Ride...

A couple of week's ago we were trying to "encourage" Riley to learn to actually ride his skateboard. We went to the school parking lot for about an hour and that's all it took. He is now much more comfortable and growing his skills all the time. I even took a turn trying to balance.
