Big Boy Bed

Last week, we finally moved Isaac to a big boy bed. He has done very well with the transition He's just like A.J. was...will not get out of bed unless we go in and get him (I'm not complaining)! Andy decided to make Isaac his very own headboard...Illini Isaac!!!

First Day of School!

Today was A.J.'s first day of kindergarten. We went to his school last week and met his teacher and some of the kids in his class. He was really excited!! After school, he said he met a lot of new friends, his teacher was really nice, and he couldn't wait to go back the next day! I think that is a pretty successful first day of school!

Watch out, Hull Elementary...here comes A.J.!!!

A.J. found his seat in class

I think he was a little confused, as his nameplate said "Austin"...he forgets that A.J. is his initials!!!

Little brother checking out the action...what a stinker!

Haboob

On Tuesday, we experience Phoenix's worst dust storm in almost a century! The news called it a "Haboob"--an intense sand storm in arid areas. It was crazy how much dust was in the air! It literally went from daylight to night in a matter of minutes! The cleanup the next day was not fun!!! It literally took me all day to clean the pool!

Looking across the street (in broad daylight)

Looking down the street

The red dust was covering everything the next morning

Our disgusting pool looked like a mud bath
