Good Bye Tucson!!!

Despite my complaints about Tucson i.e. cactus, cockroaches, and the heat. There are some things that we will miss.

We can not complain about the mountain view we had. They are not the Wasatch mountains but it was nice to have them.

Pusch Ridge. Right out our door.

This is the view of the mountains when leaving the "Red Store" (target)

We had quite the storm yesterday. Here are some of the clouds that were hanging around after the storm.

Sunset at the park.

The only scorpion we saw while here was metal art.

One of our 2 favorite places to eat in Tucson.

Guac Live. The bring all of the ingredients out and make it right there in front of you. mmmmmmmm.

By far our favorite place to eat. We had never really tried sushi until we moved down here. we got brave on day and just asked our waiter, Dave, to tell us what to order. He made great suggestions and now we are addicted.

Tommy our favorite Sushi chef, he is great, he turned an orange into a motorcycle for Keegan. And as most of you know he is obsessed with motorcycles, so this was perfect.

The motorcycle up close. Keegan was very excited about it. We had to bring in home.

Our ultimate favorite. A caterpillar roll. On one of our other visits to the Sushi Garden Tommy took the time to make the roll look really cute, it had eyes, antannae and of course I didn't have my camera.

Since we were taking our time eating, and we were almost the only ones in the restaurant, Tommy took the time to make Keegan another orange. Keegan chose an elephant. It is fun to watch, it is like oragami for fruit.

So our time in Tucson is done, we leave tomorrow. We can't wait to get back to Salt Lake and have a great summer at home. Who knows where we are going next. I am pushing for a few places, we will see.

Like Father.....Like Son

So if there was ever any doubt about just how much Viehweg Keegan has in him....... Well, besides the matching butt chins, Patterson booty and feet that look exactly the same. Oh and their love for ice cream of any kind. Their TV watching manners are the same too.

Watching Clifford the Big Red Dog in their jammies, or in Keegans case his nakedness.

Again watching Clifford

Later that same day. Not sure what is on TV. If I had to guess it was probably TLC's Take Home Chef. And again our child that doesn't like to wear pants.

Up until now everything in the apartment has escaped the damage that can be done by a 2 year old. Until today, 4 days before we leave, Keegan manages to knock over and break the "lovely" plaster lamp on the table next to the sofa. I was sitting next to him and just couldn't get to it in time. Oh well, can't do anything about it now.

My Latest Project

My 3rd denim quilt. This one is for Tyler and was probably the most expensive. If any of you have heard me talking about Tyler, you would know why. When he decided that he wanted a quilt he went through his many, many pairs of jeans and gave me about 15 that he wouldn't wear any more. No let me just say, some of these were almost brand new. I couldn't cut them up. I know for a fact that one pair was only worn for a couple of months and then he got a tiny stain on it and went out and bought another pair exactly like it. So lucky for Jon he is the same size. So I swapped out practically new pairs for ones that Jon has given some good use. So after 2 nights of tracing and cutting squares, and 3 blisters later I was ready to start sewing. Once I get to this point it is almost an obsession. I just want to sew until it is done, and with Josh working nights I am able to do that. So Yay!!! Tyler's quilt is done. Maybe someday I will eventually do one for Josh and myself. Let the saving begin, ohhh if you think about it, save your old jeans and give them to me instead of throwing them away.

Well, one week from today we will be arriving in Salt Lake. No more Tucson. We haven't decided what we are going to do with ourselves for a whole month, but I am sure we will figure it out.

2 Weeks 1 Day.......not that we are counting.

Just some pictures from the last couple of weeks. We decided to drive up to Salt Lake 2 wks ago and surprise everyone. We had a great time. The reactions from all of the Grandparents and Aunt Jacey and Uncle Jon were great. My sister Mimi and Josh's sister Jen were the only ones that knew we were coming. Mimi needed to know so we didn't come blasting into their house in the middle of the night. Jen and Ben had to know so that they would actually be there for Sunday dinner. I think it just made us more anxious to get back there for the summer.

Keegan showing of his sunglasses.

Up Millcreek Canyon with friends.

The Kids, Keegan, Audrey and Logan

Keegan decided one night to try to sit in the sink while washing his hands. He was already stripped down to a diaper and for some reason climbed in. I remember this fitting better.

Keegan in one of his tents watching his favorite movie. Elmo in Grouchland.

More tub pictures, I think they are some of my favorite.

Keegan sporting a fishing vest. Watch out Island Park Keegan is on his way. (we didn't really buy it but it was dang cute.)

Back to the Zoo. He wouldn't stop and look up he just kept crawling through.

This should be at the top, but oh well. This is Keegs and Jon blowing bubbles.

2 weeks left and then we are out of this heat. I can't wait.
