Talented Meadow

Meadow is an artist and musician!
Matthew wants to learn drums, so he brought home this drum that was getting thrown away. Meadow plays it very well! She always sticks out her tongue while she plays. I guess it helps keep rhythm!

Here's another random question:
If you had to pick from this list of jobs, which one would you choose? (Assuming they all paid the same.)
Aerobics instructor, McDonalds cook, QVC sales person, massage therapist

Arizona trip

We just returned from a wonderful 5 days in Arizona! Our family arrived in Phoenix along with my parents, where we were blasted with 114 degree heat....at night! We visited some family and spent the night then drove to Tucson to meet William & Katie & kids! It was a little cooler in Tucson, around 100 degrees. (As you can see, five hot kids without their shirts!) We stayed at the Starr Pass Golf Suites, which was very nice! Meadow loved playing with her cousins. She and Lane spent the first 20 minutes just following each other around the room. The kids were very good about sharing their toys with Meadow. It was way too hot to do anything outside during the day but in the evenings we all enjoyed the nice big pool. One of the days there was a big thunderstorm which fascinated Meadow.

Traveling Tots

Our kids should win an award for being the best little travelers ever! They were so good on our crowded flights to and from Arizona! Logan gets to wear the jet bib now. Just like his sister, he smiled at everyone and got all the people around us smiling back. Meadow was standing up blowing kisses to everyone!

Last Year, This Year

She actually wore the same dress! I guess the flag still tasted good too!

3rd & 4th of JULY

On the 3rd, we went to see the booths. There was nothing Meadow could do, but a fireman gave her a balloon. Then we fed pigeons at Whale park. Meadow loved it! I like this picture with the pigeons flying away. Meadow enjoyed watching the parade and eating some candy! Just before the parade started she went into the road (there was no traffic by this time) and "paraded" in front of the people smiling and waving her flags! Everyone thought she was so cute!

Sister & Brother

In these pictures Meadow and Logan are exactly the same size. They are both 11 lbs. and 23" long, only Meadow is 3 months old and Logan is 2! They're so cute!

Meadow at City Park

We had a picnic, and Meadow enjoyed running around on the grass. I had to keep her from going in the water- maybe in a year or 2 I can take her wading there where I used to swim. She also sat on the rock that Katie & I liked playing on.
