September Blur

The month of September whizzed by! We had lots of fun...here is a picture montage of the month. In it includes Coleman's "class pet" Rex visiting us for the weekend, a hair cut, a visit to the apple orchard, fun with friends, Chiefs Football and our Labor Day weekend trip to San Diego. Whew!

School Bound!

I am officially a student of Sunshine Preschool. Hooray! I have been wanting to go to school for over a year now and I FINALLY got to see what it was all about. I did have some pre-first day jitters and even squeezed out a few tears but by morning I decided I was going to be brave and headed to school. And I am so glad I did! We did all kinds of fun things but my favorite things were recess and watching the teachers use their walkie talkies. :) Here are a few pics from the big day.

My teacher, Miss Cindy and me. We are the green class!

It's Science Time

We had a science lesson with our playgroup friends the other day. We learned about dry ice and what happens to it when you add different liquids to it. We loved adding dish soap and making dry ice bubbles the best. What a fun day of learning!

So curious

Mt. Lemmon

What is a perk about living in the Arizona desert? We live at the base of a lot of mountains. So, if you are tired of the heat, just pack up the car and head on up to the top. 100 degrees at the bottom and 30 minutes later....a refreshing 67. Delightful. Refreshed. Happy.

Taking a pit stop and a potty break at the middle of the mountain. Look how green it is already! (The "L's" we are making are for Mt. Lemmon)

Having lunch at the Cookie Cabin. Pizza and a cookie sundae to give us energy for our hike.

Here we go

A clear, cool stream to spend the afternoon.

Exploring

William just discovered how fun throwing rocks into a stream is.

Hours of entertainment

Mr. An's

We had lunch at Mr. An's Japanese Steakhouse this past weekend. WOW! What a great time. Our chef started the meal out with a BIG fire and then some throwing of spatulas and cooking tools. Next he dumped food into piles on the grill, threw eggs around, flipped meat and made a volcano out of an onion. That is talent!! We clapped and ate and laughed. Serious fun day.

Giving a thumbs up. Ready for the show.

Sister's thumbs up--she must be confused

Trying again. Again confused.

Enjoying some rice

Watching the show. Sister said the fire burned her face all gone. :)

Swimming

We just finished our two week swim school with our favorite teacher, Miss Margaret. We were so lucky to have found her this summer! Before lessons we were using swim tubes and floaties in the pool. Just after eight days look what we can do!

Mom and Daddo are so proud and so are we. Can't wait to use our new moves for the next few months. Splash!
