Grandparents and the Hoover Dam

What a week we are having. Most importantly, Meme and Pap are here!!!!! They arrived on Monday night and Maggie is having a blast with them. We drove to the Hoover Dam yesterday. It is about an hour away from our house. It was so neat. And, yes we went on the Dam tour (ha, ha, ha- I just had to).

Meme and Pap are touring the gypsum plant with Andy right now and I am getting my rare few minutes of internet use since the cable company hates us. It may actually be another whole month before we can get service. And, guess what we are waiting on-our address to be input into the computer- CRAZY!!!

Anyway, here are some pictures from the Hoover Dam.

W * A * L * K * I * N * G

Big news this week. Maggie is walking. She began taking 2 or 3 steps late last week, but by Tuesday she had made it from the kitchen to the living room. We'll probably never catch her again.

Sorry, no pictures with this update.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!!!

We have had a great mother's day weekend together. We did some shopping yesterday and Maggie has been as busy as a bee playing. She is getting so close to walking, we are just holding our breath. She will take anywhere from two to five steps at a time without help from us.

I was given a first edition original Maggie Kennedy for Mother's Day. Andy helped Maggie color her first picture for one of my Mother's Day present. Needless to say, Maggie and I will be headed to the craft store this week to purchase a frame for it.

Also, Maggie is now sporting two new teeth on top. So, that's six teeth total.

On another note, congratulations are in order for our friends Toby and Eron Hamblin. Toby, Eron and big brother Todd, welcomed Ellen Brooke this morning. What a great Mother's Day gift.

Here are some pictures from Maggie's weekend.

99 Degrees and Rising

Well folks, the high tomorrow is 99 and our first time in triple digits should be on Monday. I'm amazed that it's that hot and there is still snow on some of the mountains.

Maggie is feeling better for those of you who knew she was sick last week. Not much else has been going on. We are in the middle of painting the condo, so that's keeping me busy at night. That's a good thing considering that we STILL do not have cable or internet service. We've been given an estimate of just 2 more weeks, so we'll see.

We found out that Meme and Pap are coming in another week and a half. Maggie can't wait!

Finally, here are a few pictures from aroun the house. You'll notice that 3 of them are outside. Look at the ground/dirt. You don't have to worry about weeds when you live in the middle of the desert.
