Tortilla Flats

Declan has been asking to go to Tortilla Flats lately so he was very excited when Paka asked us to meet him there this week. I think it is more about Paka taking him down to the lake than the food :)



Lochlan's First Visit to the Ocean

We missed church last Sunday because I had to work so we decided to spend our lunch together enjoying God's creation at the ocean. The waves were awesome!








This is a pic we took of Flat Pat, a project our family has been working on for my cousin Mac.

A Goodale Family Visit to Tucson, AZ

We went to Tucson to visit Great-Grandma Etta and got to see almost the whole Goodale gang. Grandpa and Grandma Goodale had a big basket full of fun toys for Declan...
Uncle Jeff helped him explore the limits of his slinky...

Declan and Uncle Jeff also had some fun with bubbles (Sorry if the pictures are a little grainy my camera was on the wrong setting for this)...




We drove out to the old part of town in order to see some of the bigger cactus. The birds peck holes in the cactus and make nests inside of them. Declan used his new binoculars to watch the birds.
We took some family pics. Here is the boys with Grandma Goodale and Grandma Etta...

Relaxing after lunch. Declan is sitting in his favorite spot. He actually told Jeff he had to move over so he could be by Grandma Goodale...

Glasses

So, I have always bragged about my great vision (especially to Steve who can't see anything without his glasses) because I had such bad eye issues as a child. Unfortunately, I started to get headaches after working on the computer and after going to the eye doctor (I hadn't been in 3 years) I was prescribed these reading/computer glasses...

Diesel

My parents are working on getting rid of Diesel as they just don't have the time to spend with him. Here are some pics I took in preparation for that :(.


Lochlan

Lochlan is 7 months old. I can't believe how big he has gotten and how much personality he has. He continues to be a very sweet and an easy going baby...

Declan and Paka playing tag...



This is the face Declan made when we said it was time to go...

Wahoo's April 2nd

We met Paka at Wahoo's for some good food and outdoor exploration...
