Family Fun..

The boys went out after it rained and collected a whole bunch of millipedes. I don't see how they can stand to do it, makes me shiver just looking at them! 

It was kinda funny, cause they kept crawling out faster then the boys could keep them in.

Friday we are leaving to go back East, so we have been really busy around here with all the preps. So on Sunday we just took a little relaxing trip up to the Cochise Stronghold (not far from our place) and hiked up to a stream.

The rain that we have been getting turns a dry, brown landscape into a green, lush mountain side! 

*hiking up the trail*

Go Joshua!! Actually this picture needs to be flipped... :/ 

Jessica taking the advantage of being alone to get caught up in her diary! ;)

Indian paintings...

The boys having fun in the water.

Can you see the bug?

Just some random pics..

::devotion::

I don't know if I will get anything posted till we get back from our trip, but there will be lots of pics once we get home, so be sure to check back sometime around the end of August!

Have a great month!! :)

Random Things..

Random things such as "a butterfly sucking nectar" 

  "checking the rain gauge under an umbrella " or "standing on a stool"

Funny things like " getting extra muddy just because you feel like it"

Amazing things like "a bunch of flying ants gathering after a rain"

and then "flying so close together that it is nearly impossible not to bump into each other"

Memorable things like " three sisters being squished in the back of a car all the way to Phoenix and spotting things along the road in a traffic jam, such as an old pair of glasses and wondering if there was enough time to evacuate the car to retrieve them "

Or good things like " raspberries - little red berries that keep multiplying in our raspberry patch, almost faster then we can keep up with them"

Mean things like "a bug taking what doesn't belong to him"

Awesome things like " two gallons of raspberries two times a week"

or sweet things like "the best raspberry jam ever"

Sad things like "the green bean patch that is going to be producing its most fruit over the time that we are on our trip"

Cute things like "quail chicks"

Beautiful things like "rainbows"

Crazy things like "the little boys experiments"

and Intelligent things like "reading your book upside down"

Yup, just more random things! :)
