Just to have a new post

Josh informed me that he didn't like "our" new background for the blog. So here I am changing it so soon. If you haven't noticed, I hate to change it. It takes up too much time and since I do it so infrequently, it seems more difficult than in should be.

Tucson, what to say about Tucson. I am glad that we came down here but...... I am glad we don't have to stay here. We hate cactus and that is all that there is here. Even the trees have thorns. But that isn't even the worst part, living down here you learn that just because someone calls something by a different name doesn't change what it is. Calling a cockroach a waterbug doesn't make it any better. Growing up in a cooler climate cockroaches were something you only heard about. Everyone down here is so used to them, you just deal with them and it's no big deal. Well let me tell you, IT IS A BIG DEAL!!! I hate them. Yuck!

Well now, this is sounding like I haven't enjoyed my stay here. I have, don't get me wrong. I have enjoyed the apartment we are living in. It is well kept and with 6 pools to choose from you can always find an empty one. The weather is always great here, even when it is hot there are the previously mentioned pools. It has also been fun to explore a new place, Tucson really does have quite a few places that I am happy to be able to say that I have been to. (Even Kartchner Caverns).

I guess I am just looking forward the the 6 weeks we get to spend at "Home" thanks to my sister and her husband.

Watch out, 4 weeks and we will be back!!

Visitors

Once again Keegan was lucky enough to get a visit from Pa and Grandma. They came down last week and stayed for a few days. Keegs had a great time swimming, going to the park and being spoiled. Josh and I had a great time going out, just the 2 of us. We go to go and see a movie and go shopping. It was a lot of fun, something we haven't been able to do since we got here. Tucson is definitely getting warm, the weather man forecasts 105 degrees tomorrow. YIKES!!! I don't like it that hot. At least we have multiple pools to choose from.

Keegan leaping of the side of the pool. Pa is the arm you see on the bottom right.

Keegans new toy from Pa. It is kind of funny, when he tries to sneak up on you to shoot you he looks like Elmer Fudd.

I always thought a tri-cycle was easy but here is his first major crash. I wasn't looking and the next thing I here is him asking for heeyelp. (southern drawl and all)

Being cute in the tub.

Contract Extended!

Nothing new here in Tucson. Except that we are staying a month longer. We will be here until the end of June. Weather is getting warmer, yesterday was in the 90's. We go swimming almost everyday, hopefully Josh and I will have some sort of a tan (even if it is the farmer variety) when we come back. Keegan and I often go for a walk when Josh leaves for work. I walk to give the dog some exercise, Keegan loves to come along to look for bunnies. Right now a lot of the cactus are blooming, the prickly pear especially. The Seguro should be next.

Keegan in his green fishy float. He is so fearless. The first time I put him in the float he took off, kicking almost faster than I could keep up. He is ready to go!!!

And my favorite picture this week. Keegan and his crazy hair. I swear it was just an itch but the camera caught it just perfect. ha ha

Keegs is anxiously awaiting "Pa's" arrival. Paul is going to be riding his motorcycle down here to visit us. 12 hours on a motorcycle!! Yikes!!

Crikes Mate!!!

Back to the Wildlife Museum! Keegan and I tried to go to what sounded like a really cool dinosaur museum. To our surprise, when we got there it no longer existed. So then Keegan decided he wanted to see water buffalo. This place is so much fun. I have told you all this before. So I won't bore you all (all 6 of you) with all of the details. Any how, Tucson is Tucson. Warm, sunny and not a cloud in the sky.

We visited Mt. Lemmon. The southern most ski resort in the country.

Thanks for looking at another week in Tucson.
