BUBBA's HERE!! + Sparks and T&T AWANA Games

It's been a busy week!

Peanut Butter arrived here on Thursday!

And the Cookie Brothers... well, they ate cookies together! LOL!!

And the silly girls... well, they went swimming!

 I know it may appear to be warm and sunny,

but it is CCCOLDDD!!!

Saturday the younger two girls competed in the AWANAS Games...

 See this AWESOME Sparky!?!

She's mine too!

She REALLY LOVED being Sparky and I think she will gladly do it again! Her favorite part was all the hugs from the little ones! She was the best Sparky ever! She danced and hugged and danced some more! She was AWESOME!!!

 Then on Sunday, my WONDERFUL friend Julie came to visit! Thanks Julie! It was so great to visit with you!! {{HUGS}}

 We went to another friends heated pool for a dip.

Mini Chip made a friend and LOVED playing with his orange ball.

 CUTE!!

Braving the waters... 

What fun!!

Our First Camping Trip in the Desert!!

CAMPING ROCKS!!!

:-)

It was alot of fun.

I set up a Geocaching and Treasure Hunt for the girls.

 The views were AWESOME!!

 This is our campsite. Uncle Nate's camper and ours.

More hiking!

We REALLY LOVE hiking!

And we never even came across a rattler, scorpion, or anything!

Shewww!! Thank goodness!!

Marching into March... at Tonto Indian Ruins

March started with a field trip to the Tonto Indian Ruins...

 It was an awesome and exhilarating hike!

 We went with our homeschool group.

 Here is Mini Chip and me with a couple of the other moms. They are SOO WONDERFUL!! I am very blessed to have met such like-minded, supportive, and classy ladies!

 The view from the ruins...

 Mini Chip...

 The kids in our group.

 The Cookie children.

It was quite a drive to get to the ruins. We stopped on the way back at Honeyville Farms, which is a bulk foods store. We were able to sample a bunch of different freeze dried foods while we were there. Our favorites were asparagus, mango, and strawberries.

February is finished...

My older two girls participated in the Jr. High AWANAS Games on Sunday the 26th.

 They played really well and took home first place! :-)

 My friend, Heather, later gave us all haircuts...

 This man is adorable even when crabby and sitting in a funky chair... :-)

Uncle Nate sure is great!

We joined a fantastic church and...

...purchased this camper. It is very nice and fits our family very well!

Can't wait to go camping!!! :-)

And on the last day of February...

the big girls entered a bookmark contest at the library.

Nobody seems to be sure when we will get the results from the contest. So, we will just wait for the notice to arrive in the mail... :-)

That concludes our February. It was a Fabulous month and it is Finished! :-)
