A visit from Captain Kotsur

Casey had a visit from a true, live fireman at school. The benefit is that he is Mrs. Kotsur's husband. Casey loved climbing all over the old fire truck and even kept his hat on part of the time. Thanks, Captain Kotsur!

Hello, Anyone?

She learned to talk on the phone at the Porter's. What a shock.

Culture Pass

I got this information off of my friend's blog. She says it better than I do, so I directly copied her post. Thanks, Jess.


Some FANTASTIC money saving, culturally enlightening news for my Arizona pals...


Starting on April 1, it’s your ticket to local museums, the Phoenix Zoo, and other must-do attractions (like Desert Botanical Gardens and The Arizona Science Center) FREE. FOR SEVEN DAYS. FOR FOUR PEOPLE.

Here’s how it works - you pick up a Culture Pass at your local library anywhere in Greater Phoenix (that means it includes Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale, Tempe, Mesa). The pass is good for seven days, for four people. Some of the places it gets you in: Arizona Museum of Natural History, Arizona Science Center, Children’s Museum of Phoenix, Heard Museum,Phoenix Art Museum and more are all covered by the pass.

I know you’re asking, “What’s the catch?” There is no catch. Economic times are hard and everyone is looking for something to do that’s free and entertaining. So a bunch of sponsors got together and decided to influence the community with arts and activity.

To see a full listing of FREE attractions, as well as more details, visit: http://www.theculturepass.org/. And be sure to tell your friends - there are enough passes to go around!

PWD

What's that? The Pinewood Derby. Enough said.

Kids

What unbelievable kids. I know all kids are extraordinary. I am constantly amazed at the many abilities kids have. They can show love when you least expect it, they forgive in an instant, they show complete trust even when you don't deserve it, and most of all they exhibit all the promise and hope for the future. Each of my kids show and teach me different things. My life is sweeter, better, fuller, and definitely more hectic with kids, and my life would be full of empty without them. It was so fun to spend a week without school and schedules and be able to enjoy our kids. Thanks to my kids for making my life what it is.

Piggies

Walking home from school today I noticed the cutest little piggies. I had to run in and get my camera to preserve the sweetest little toes ever.

Hiking the Y

When I asked the kids to name off favorites from our trip to Utah, one was hiking the Y. It was rated as an easy hike, but we all decided that wasn't accurate.
Even so, we all made it - even Kat


and Casey - and it did provide awesome views of BYU campus, the football stadium, the MTC, and the Provo temple. It was all topped off with milkshakes and fries from Stan's. Definitely one of our favorites.
