Between remodeling, moving, and helping Mom, our days have been full! I also started back to ceramic class. I love it but wish my work equaled what my imagination envisions. I will just have to keep working on it.
Our sweet kids planned a birthday party for Rod. He and I both got the time fixed in our heads wrong and then to top it off, I forgot that I was making the cake till about the time we were supposed to be there. We ended up arriving quite late but they were gracious and we still had a good time.

What? You don't have a wrestling mat in your living room? Well I guess you don't have the active family we do! We are sure enjoying our grandbabies!!! |

Thanks to Alicia and Eric for hosting it at their home. |
 |
Cousins are the Best!!! |
 |
Except maybe for Sisters! They had karaoke as the entertainment. The daughters lead the way. |

M enjoyed handling the mike but was reluctant to let Poppop take a turn. |
 |
Ahhh back in charge! |
 |
We enjoyed hanging out with these kids one evening. |

We got to know this cute little button a bit better. |
We drove down to 'northern Mexico' (Tucson) for Anna's birthday too!

Oh oh. Big sister had to get in on the act! |

They are all such dolls! |
Yesterday we decided to go on a hike, well it was more of a walk. We don't get much time with Goldie, our dog so we took her with us. It was lovely. We had 3 solid days of rain leading up to the super bowl. That meant that the desert is just bursting with new growth and will be blossoming soon.
It smelled fabulous too. I have missed the creosote bushes' smell. There was something blossoming too, Yummy. It was quiet and almost no other people.
There is not a lot new this week. Mom is improving a little. Brains heal slowly you know. A few more shelves built in our house, and a few more boxes unloaded. All is well!
