Backyard Rennovation

Since our house had been vacant for awhile before we bought it, the backyard was a jungle of weeds. Thanks to a little weed-b-gone though, we turned that jungle of weeds into a pile of dead grass and dirt. After living in Okinawa with green grass for so long, we just couldn't stand looking at the dirt any longer and had the backyard landscaped. We extended the patio, added a few bushes and a tangerine tree and most importantly...grass. Wayne & I are just in awe at how beautiful the yard turned out.

2nd Family Day

We celebrated our 2nd Family Day today. It's hard to believe that 2 years have already flown by. What an amazing little boy we have. He changes so much that it's hard to keep up with him. He is now potty trained (with the exception of bedtime), sleeps in a big boy bed, can count to 12 in English and to our surprise, can count to 5 in Spanish, and talks up a storm with his favorite phrase now being "What's that mommy?". He is all boy and has already torn his first hole in the knees of his pants, loves playing and watching baseball, and is excited to go to the ASU Spring Football game to watch the Sparky (team mascot) football team. We can't imagine what our lives would have been like these past 2 years without him...
