...trip to the Desert:
We were so busy and we did so much...the time went so fast! These are some of the things that we did.
We played on the piano with Grandma...
We watered Grandma's Garden...a ton...were rescued from a scorpion and got to feast on the fruit of the vine...a home-made cucumber! thanks, Grandma!
We played with Lisa Cole...and Rylee and Tyse, of course...
And then pretended to BE Lisa Cole, by giving Ivy another haircut...I guess this only happens at Grandmas...
And then, subsequently, Lisa Cole had a beautiful one of these:
Hi, baby Kate! I was so excited that I was there to see a sweet little baby Cole! Rylee will be an awesome sister to a girl!
Grandma took us to give the ducks an early Thanksgiving...
Ivy liked that...
And took Max fishing for his first time...didn't catch anything, but Max was Uber patient...and did an awesome job listening!
We shot off rockets that Grandma made...and showed everyone that came over just how cool they are...and they really are cool!

There was huge room after huge room of amazing old-fashioned fire trucks...
And even one that looked like "Red" from Cars, that we could get in, play on, pull switches, turn levers, etc. 
Max was sooo happy!
This wasn't his favorite part...but he loved every other part!
Ivy loved it! She loves everything!
We made this and these...
And these with Shirley!
and started to make something that will eventually look like this...my friend Kristy introduced me to this idea...and I totally wanted one...but so expensive, so my mother in law says, as always...'we can make that!'...

So, here are the beginning stages...to be continued...
Then we played in Maricopa... visited our old house, and played with Tara and Lacey and made us each one of these: Chalkboards! I was making it for Max and Ivy to color on...but sorry, I like it too much, I'll have to do another one for them...
and got one of these for my birthday! oh my! thank you, Caffeine! I love it, Tara!
We had an amazing time, but need to come back quickly so we can do more projects! a week is certainly not long enough!!!

So funny. I have a very similar felt house saved to make for the kids for Christmas on my google reader. Funny how we are drawn to similar things. I love it.
COME BACK SOOOOOOON!! We have LOTS more to do!!!!!
It was so fun to have you all here. Glad you had a good trip home. Dad REALLY likes his exercise routine, we walked to Painters and back, and more good stuff. His BODYBUGG is amazing and thanks for all your good advice.
Love you all, MOM
