June in the Desert


For those of you outside of Arizona, we've had some wild swings in weather. Within 24 hours, we went from 110 degrees to 58 degrees. But then we had a beautiful stretch of days in the 70's - unseasonably cool for an Arizona May. But now we're back to normal, about 95-105 for highs and lows around 70.

We're doing well. Still paying for two homes and praying to get down to one! The boys are doing great and keep playing together more and more.



Here are two conversations that occured in just one night at our dinner table:

#1
Landon: Daddy, we were at Chick-Fil-A today and when we went to the play area, a lady said someone had pee-peed on the slide.

Hudson: There was a wet area near the top - we couldn't tell what it was. I went around it but Landon put his foot right in it.

Rick: Landon, did you do that?

Landon: Yes

Hudson: Sometimes he just tries to test my limits

#2
After Landon declined to let Hudson use one of his toys...

Hudson (for once, not in a know-it-all tone): Landon, you're still pretty selfish, but all you have to do is ask Jesus into your heart and you won't be as selfish.

Landon: O.K.

Our next-door neighbors have two girls with a pink Corvette that they drive with Hudson and Landon's red Mustang


Hudson and Landon emptied a storage ottoman and got inside

And then managed to get Keaton into it with them...
