Ashby's come to Tucson

Lisa and the girls came to Tucson while Devin made a business trip to Central America. Ashley stayed with Lisa, and went on another date, and then helped her drive from SLC to Tucson. (I guess the boys in Tucson better take some lessons from Utah and Idaho on dating. Ashley had a lot of fun this summer.)
Trevor, Lisa's brother in law brought his kids over and we all took a bath in the pool. 95 degrees, I think YES! Even the baby loved the water. Can you see Amber and Kerisa practicing their swimming skills?
We took a trip to the Desert Museum and learned lots of fascinating facts about the desert life.
Look at Amber's face! She loves animals and learning all about them.
She even wants to be one!!
Have you ever seen a scorpion? They got quite an education.

Family Vacation

The family took a long vacation to Idaho and Utah this summer. We had lots of fun and did quite a few things. Last trip Ashley and Patti took to Utah, Lisa's neighbor Sierra and Ashley decided they wanted to go do something new and fun together. So, Sierra took Ashley to Lagoon. Her first experience! What a blast. While they were there, Ashley wanted to ride this one ride in particular that Sierra wasn't so sure about going on. Ashley decided to go alone and while she was waiting in line, met a bunch of guys from Idaho! They swapped numbers and have been texting since then..
The boys from Idaho found out Ashley was going to be in Pocatello in a few weeks and asked her out of a few different dates. Kellan took her to the driving range for her first golf lesson. What way does the ball fly?!?
Grandpa would be so proud of her!

Amber, Kerisa, Ashley and Nathan flying down the water slide at Steadman's Ranch!
Now it is time for the parents to go! Kevin, Patti, Lisa and Devin. Nathan, will you give us a push?

Oh no! We are spinning!
At Steadman's Ranch they had this candy cannon that was sure to please the crowd!
Go get some candy kids!! This is better than an Easter egg hunt!
The Prodromides' clan at that Kramer Reunion!
Don't you think Devin is a little out numbered? 5-1, yeah that seems fair!
Ashley won again!! They have bonded well.
Next in line for bonding. Michael, one of the Idaho boys she met at Lagoon, also wanted to take Ashley out on a date, but she simply had no more free days to go on a date. So, he came along to the family reunion. Gotta meet the family sometime. Wasn't even scared off by the klan.
After a long day partying, no one felt like cooking dinner. Sizzler buffet, here we come!

Bell's come to Tucson

Steven and Emily brought Wyatt down to Tucson for the 4th of July and to celebrate his 2nd birthday with us. We had lots of fun and look forward to them coming again for Christmas.
Opening presents! not quite sure what to do...
Does this look like a dude from Vegas?!
Nathan could tell Wyatt needed some help playing with all his cool toys!

Not too sure about all that water.

Looking a little happier with his life jacket on!
