Cookin' in Idaho

Angela and I mixin' up something good to eat during our Memorial weekend camping trip up to Idaho.

Spring Concert

Athena's school had a spring concert last Wednesday. Athena looked so beautiful, and the concert was great. Here are a few clips of the show.

Getting out of the heat

The other day was so hot and we were bored at home. We decided to go bowling to get out of the house, and stay out of the heat. The bowling alley was a popular destination on a hot Sunday afternoon and we had an hour wait for a lane. We spent the time in the arcade, playing games together. Athena didn't quite get Ski Ball, but she was a natural at the motorcycle race.
Athena also had a hard time bowling, until we figure out that they have a ramp little kids can use to launch their balls. Athena actually got a strike once she started using the ramp and a heavier ball.

Cannonball!

Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to me. I wrote this post last week, but it wiped out before I saved...so I will post it now. I had a terrific Mother's Day. Tim and Athena made me breakfast in bed (French toast with strawberries and whipped cream, and sausage.) I am normally the first person up on the weekend, so Athena told me the night before that I had to stay in bed. It was kind of fun to sit upstairs and listen to the sounds of Tim and Athena cooking together. Along with breakfast, Athena and Tim also gave me cards, a beautiful butterfly sun catcher that Athena made, emerald earrings, and and emerald & diamond journey necklace.

The best part of Mother's Day was Athena's excitement, and how she and Tim conspired and cooperated to make it such a special day.

We spent the afternoon celebrating with Tim's family at Wendy and Rob's house. We had brats and barbeque pork sandwiches. We had fun watching the Jazz beat the Lakers and swimming in the pool.

Dancing Fools

When we were down in Tucson, there was a big party with dancing for one of Kendra's neighbor's birthday. This was the unfortunate result...

Lorenzen's Out

This is all of us out to dinner at Baci Italian Bistro, our favorite Italian place. Pretty handsome family, huh? :-)

Angela Inside "Childhood Dreams"

At the Phoenix Desert Botanical Gardens, we saw the sculpture "Childhood Dreams" by Patrick Dougherty. Created from willow branches, Angela appreciated the work it would take to weave since she loves to weave baskets.

Tim Looking Goofy

Tim is totally convinced he looks totally weird in this picture, but Angela is so convinced she looks fantastic that it had to be posted.

This was a day at the Phoenix Botanical Gardens. We had a great time, especially the butterfly exhibit..

A Day In the Park

We went to the park with Kendra's family and a bunch of friends when we were down in Tucson

Angela and Tim

Playing Rock Band

The weekend of the 26th of April, we were down in Tucson visiting Kendra (Angela's sister) and her family. Kendra has...Rockband! So the whole family got in the act and we had a GREAT time...
