Favorite Rain Pictures EVER! (am I bias??)

I love how my kids swallow up the small and simple things and they make them so so happy.  Rain is something that does this for them.  I don't know if it is because we live in Arizona so they don't see it that much but when it rains it is like heaven.

Chase and Carter ran and put on their swim suits and basked in the wet while me and Scott sat under the back porch and savored one of those magical moments.  My eye/camera caught some of the realness of that day.  These are some of my favorite pictures yet, I think because they are just so THEM, and they make me smile(:

(This is such a Carter face, and his nervous habit.  It is funny how they already have those at 2)

(This is so Chase...  so observant but so unaware, just his own unique person in his own unique world.  I hope he never looses that.)

Happy Birthday Scott!

For Scott's Birthday we just did the low key thing movie and dinner and cinnamon rolls since we aren't much of a cake family.  We had his Mom over that Sunday for some dessert and salmon, cooked by an AMAZING COOK, well a wanna be(;

I was only allowed a couple of photo's, he was the birthday boy so I had to listen.  Happy Birthday Scott hope you had a wonderful day!  We all love you!

What's at the end of a Rainbow?

My Dad was visiting at the end of July and we had just got home with the boys and guess what was waiting for us...

This beautiful rainbow and at the end of it... Well at least I like to think; the best treasure of all, our cute home with my wonderful family and memories inside.  Cheesey yes absolutely, but perfect also yes absolutely!
