Fun at Sugarhouse.

Okay, be warned, my camera is not very good. I love taking pictures outside because that's the only time any of the pictures come out great.

These were taken at Sugarhouse Park today, which, for Tucson natives, is this amazing park that is huge!!! It has a stream/river that runs through it ends up in a small waterfall into a pond, where ducks, geese, and seagulls reside. So beautiful and the weather was yummy.
So we met Jeremy for lunch and fed the ducks. I love how many photo spots there are here, if I ever get a better camera we are doing family pictures here.

Tia and Tai feeding the birds.

On this one you can't really tell but Tai is getting ready to run from that goose, it's a little too close for her comfort. :)

Posing... Yes Tai is in her church shoes...no I don't want to talk about it.


This is the waterfall I was talking about, sorry it's not that great of a pic.

Tailia posing, isn't it so pretty? This is right next to the waterfall.

Tia posing next to the waterfall, love it.

Monetizing, the sun, and peanut butter and jelly.

Alright folks, I added it...see the huge thing on the right there---->
That's monetizing, for a day or so it won't show any ads but then once it does feel free to click on them. wink wink... :) I'm thinking that I might use the money I make from it for a giveaway or something since my broke self can't afford to do one otherwise...hmm...so many possibilities.

So the sun finally came out and stayed for a few days! Woo! Sad thing is that it's going to rain and possibly slush this weekend, slush is what I call the rain/snow mix. Ugh. I wish the weather would just decide, spring or winter, not both! Who do I talk to about this? Okay and it gets worse, I am a mom, a grown up, I should be smart enough to put on sunscreen, especially since I burn very quickly, seriously, if I drive around on a sunny day with my arm resting next to the window of the car I get sunburned...five minutes in the sun, sunburned...you get it, the point is that I went to the park and got sunburned, embarassing. Ugh. I've learned my lesson. Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen, unless I enjoy the look of the Lobster face. (I don't)

Last but certainly not least...PB & J...a delightful combination...on bread...not a delightful combination on pants and shirts...or walls. Yes, Tai has done it again...she was quite proud of herself too, she had jelly completely covering the front of her pants, peanut butter on her shirt and hands and a mixture of the two swirled on the wall...where was I during all of this you say? Completing a test online that I will tell you more about later...shame on me for not learning my lesson prior to this but what can I say? I'm an optimist. ;)

To Monetize or not to Monetize.

So I'm sure that you've all noticed the new button on Blogger recently...Monetize...what could that be I wonder...so I click...apparently it allows a blogger to add Google ads to their page. Which potentially could earn them money. Woo! That would be awesome right...? Well, then I start to think, I've seen blogs with ads before and I can say I have never, not once, clicked on one of those ads. So will it make any money? I've heard that even if someone does click it's only like a few cents per click...hmm...I don't think I even get that many visitors, that would be one heck of a lot of clicks. I don't know...it is kind of enticing...

Easter is coming!

How cute are these!? I am in love with them...in love. I usually don't try to do candy type stuff for treats but these are soo adorable and pretty easy actually...I know they don't look like it but if you are a enticed as I am right now you can go to Bakerella's Blog to find out how to do them. She does the most amazing things...and her pictures...so good!

Automatic Car Wash...

Okay maybe it's just me but I still love to sit in my car and go through an automatic car wash. I decided since it was sunny and I wanted to wash my car but had errands to run that I could just hop into the car wash that is at Sam's Club (I know! How convenient is that!?) I happened to be by myself...I know a little selfish, I usually take the kids but they were sick and home.

I love the pulling in, turning down the radio (which is actually one of the rules, why? I do not know) and listening to the sounds of the wash. So fun...sigh...and now the soap they use is rainbow colored...what more could I ask for? And then when the wash is all done I get to drive through the dryer that makes me feel like I'm in an airplane.

And the icing on the cake? I get a sparkly car out of it...it's like win win.

Here's to the car wash...thanks Sam's Club for making it affordable. ;)

The Sun is Shining!

That's it really I just wanted the world to know that the sun is shining! Who ever thought that I would be excited about the temperature being 63 degrees? I am so happy! It makes me want to go outside and wash cars and trim trees. sigh...so happy...oh and it gets better...it's going to be 70 this weekend! Seriously who could ask for better weather. Yay! I hope your weather is just as good. :)

Fishful Thinking.

The R Family Diaries is having a great contest! Apparently Pepperidge Farms is starting a new program called Fishful Thinking to help all of us instill a little optimism in our kids. It has some fun activities and ideas for adults. You can find it here.
