Tucson, AZ


My parents came to visit!! They wanted to meet up with some friends who live in Tucson, AZ. Aaron remembered "the best steakhouse" he has ever been to was in Tucson! So we decide to meet them there. We pull up and see the BIGGEST dive ever! We sit down to eat and of course I want to order a diet coke. Nope, no such luck! Not Pepsi products either people! Ever heard of RC Cola?! Yup, our choices of soda pop were RC Cola or diet RC or orange! LOL! Then I asked for the menu, nope, no menu either! It is an "oral" menu. No prices go along with that oral menu either. (good thing my Dad paid for it!! ;) ) Of course, what are my kids going to do without chicken fingers and fries?!?! Anyway, it was a great steak! I can't say, like Aaron can that is the "best". But it really was good. I still think food tastes better when washed down with diet Coke!! :)

This is the parking lot of the Lil' Abners!

16 happy years

There once was a time when we had our picture taken and a little child didn't feel the need to give us bunny years! It sure has been fun 16 years!!

Thanksgiving


Our "thankful tree".
We started this tradition a few years ago. Everyone writes on a paper leaf something they are thankful for and hangs it on the tree. It becomes our thanksgiving dinner centerpiece!

November 2010


In November, we can still wear shorts and t-shirts outside! We love it.
