4th Place Ribbon

Murray was in another competition this weekend.  He received 2 qualifying ribbons and one 4th place in Pairs.  He had quite the proud dad!  Someone took these pictures on Saturday afternoon during the competition.  Great job Murray and Todd!

Sledding in Flagstaff

We spent President's Day weekend in Flagstaff, AZ.  Flagstaff had a lot of snow and temps in the 30's.  I don't know who had more fun, the girls or the dogs!  On Sunday night we lost electricity for 6 hours and fell asleep by the fire.  Todd cooked dinner on the grill using his cell phone for light!

Jewelry Boxes

What fun at Home Depot today!!  The girls made cute jewelry boxes with Daddy and Papa Bill.  Catalina brought the box home, put it in a special place and put all her jewelry in it!  Catalina also did both her and Ava's hair today (I was gone before they left).  This is such a great picture of Papa Bill and the girls.


ASU Basketball Game

Todd took the girls to their first ASU basketball game and they loved it.  They are becoming quite the little ASU fans.  Go Devils!



Tongue Anyone??

Well, after a week of searching, I finally found Grandma Dorothy a big, ole beef tongue from a butcher shop nearby (owned by a family from MN!).  She had the taste for tongue and could not seem to find one.  Disgusting...or what??  Anyway, I called her from the butcher shop and she beat me home to my house to pick it up.  It was huge and frozen.  I did not ask how she was going to prepare it, I really did not want to know.

The following day Catalina asked me about the tongue.  Could she call Grandma and ask her to bring some on Weds. so she could taste it?  And so Grandma did...she brought a tupperware container FULL of cooked tongue (I tried not to dry heave).  Catalina and Grandma finished the tongue off.  Catalina thought it was delicious.  At that point, I think I dry heaved.

The good news is...I know where to buy Grandma Dorothy and Catalina tongue, just in case they have to have it again.
