Catch Up

Man, it's been awhile since I've posted. Here is what's been going on in our lives. We moved from Arkansas to Arizona in May. For the summer we lived with my parents while Matt worked as an intern at a law firm in Mesa. We had a lot of fun visiting and playing with family and friends. In August we loaded up our stuff once more into a moving truck and headed down to Tucson. Matt had started his third and LAST year of Law School at the University of Arizona. He is currently looking for a law job, so if you know of anybody who is hiring let us know. ;) We both got called to serve in the Nursery and we love it! The boys and I have been discovering all the fun things to do in Tucson, like the Zoo, story time at the library, searching for near by parks, swinging in swings, the Children's Museum, looking at the puppies at the mall, etc., etc. August we celebrated Blake's 2nd birthday, and we are looking forward to celebrating Tyler's first birthday in a couple of weeks. Blake has become a real chatter box, he surprises me with new words he has learned everyday. I've learned that I need to watch what I say around him. :) Blake loves to read stories with anybody who will take the time to sit with him, and he loves coloring and being outside. Tyler has mastered crawling and is about start walking. He already took his first step a couple days ago. Tyler is learning a few words himself. Thanks to his brother Blake he knows how to say, "mine", and "no". He can also say, "ball", "what's that" "mommy", and "puppy". Tyler's favorite place to be is either in his high chair eating or being outside crawling around. Blake and Tyler keep me pretty busy, but I guess there are times when they think I am not busy enough, so they come up with ways to keep my time full. Like unraveling the toilet paper roll, or the aluminum roll or taking out every single wipe and stuffing it into their popping ball machine, opening mommies make up and using it as crayons, or coloring with pen on the leather couch, or taking food out of the refrigerator, or taking all the dishes out of the lower kitchen cabinets, etc. etc. We love life and all that it has to offer!

Fourth of July
