It's Springtime in Arizona!

Spring has sprung in St. David as you can tell from all the Mesquite trees behind the ballfield where Natalie is pitching during one of her softball games! Yep, it's hot and windy and dry and we may not last through another summer!!Speaking of Natalie and softball, she had Athletic Awards last night and got the award of Rookie of the Year for her pitching abilities as well as being able to be a versatile member of the team and play 2nd base and right field! Purty excitin'

Weston continues to grow up (not that this picture shows any maturity!) He is taller than any of the girls/women in the house now and if family tradition continues, he may grow as much as 4 inches this summer like his dad did between 7th and 8th grade!! He was comparing his school picture to Chad's senior picture and said "I'm looking more and more like Chad!" You can decide whether that is a complement to Chad or not!!

We got to spend some time up in Queen Creek with the only Arizona grandchild when Craig took pictures at Justin's sisters wedding. Kelli got to be the main babysitter and loved it! Bryn is becoming such a character with her own definite personality--it's fun to watch her grow up!

Here is Craig's MR2 which he has totally fixed up and is very proud to drive. The last thing to do is to get it painted and he is thinking about silver. What do you think? He loves to drive it to work and around St. David because it "goes fast!" Kelli thinks he should get a customized license plate that says "CMDCC" which stands for "Craig's mid-life crisis car." Craig doesn't think that is very funny!!!

At the last report, it was 102 in Phoenix and 99 in Tucson today! Anyone brave enough to come and visit us in AZ??!!
