Fall Happenings

Yes, I know it's been a long time since I posted new pics-but they are finally up!!! There are 4 new albums so check them out! Hmm let's see we went to the Botanical Gardens in Aug. b/c they had a dinosaur exhibit-my last outing with Elliot before school started. We went peach picking again with the McGuires-and again it was super hot-but peaches were good. Sept. we went to Flagstaff for the Bluegrass Festival, which Elliot LOVED. And I celebrated my 35th bday (gulp!) October is always full of pumpkin fun and dress up time...this year a singin' guitar playin' cowboy made his debut! Sean celebrated his 40th bday (gulp, gulp!) and I surprised him with a trip to Vegas! We saw the Beatles Love Cirque du Soleil show, rented a Harley and rode out to Hoover Dam/Lake Mead, and had dinner at the Eiffel Tower restaurant-We had a blast! Marmee and PopPop came out for a visit and stayed with Elliot-This month we went to a fall festival at a preschool with Rory, and a car/vehicle show and we hung out at the wash on Veteran's Day-Hard to believe the holidays are right around the corner!!!

Best Wishes, much love, and please keep in touch

East Coast Misson 08 Accomplished!

We had a really fun visit with family on the east coast. 4 weeks away and still felt like we didn't get to see everyone and do everything, but we definitely did a lot! Got to the beach, Hershey Park, Philadelphia for dinner, an engine/tractor show, ate lots of icecream, and I even got away to the "spa"! Elliot loved the rides and the motorcycles were his favorite-not a big surprise....but I think he enjoyed sitting on Uncle Steve's motorcycle the best....or was it Pappy's digger....or the lawn tractor...? In any case he definitely got his fill of vehicles. He also became very interested in air conditioning compressors....go figure! Check out the tons of new pics and please keep in touch-and the Tucson Bed and Breakfast is now open again for guests....

Early Summer Fun

Hi Ya'll

My ever so subtle brother brought it to my attention that it's been a while since I have updated the blog and pictures...."It's been like two months!" Well, low and behold it's been a little over 2 months so I guess it is time for an update. Thanks for the heads up Jerm.

We've just been pluggin' along here enjoying the day to day stuff-celebrated my third Mother's Day and Sean's third Father's Day-even though Elliot is only 2 years old...kinda cool. Elliot's been doing lots of "big boy" things-he can screw in a screw by himself, he can get in his carseat by himself, he takes lids on and off of things by himself, he puts his shoes on by himself, and much to our dismay and surprise he's been caught plugging things in by himself..."I do it" seems to be his favorite phrase these days. Ahhh independence. He's also starting to figure out the potty thing-although not so independent yet with that!

We're looking forward to our trip to the east-lots of visiting ahead. Enjoy the new pics til then.

Winter Fun in the Sun

Wow-I can't believe this is the last week of February already! 2008 is off to a fast start.

Not too much new news from us-just been enjoying the nice winter days-taking hikes, going to the zoo, lots of parks, festivals, and trying to get some things organized around the house. Elliot wants to do everything Daddy does. He is very much into tools and his workbench these days-and Sean just built himself a workbench in our shed. Elliot likes to ride his motorcycle-Sean has one too-the same color red. And of course they both enjoy jammin' out on their guitars. They are quite a pair!

Looking forward to spring-but not super hot days yet...although we are prepared with the pool this year!

We haven't had many visitors this year (hint, hint) but we are looking foward to Mom and Dad Zito's (Nana and Pappy) visit in March.

Please keep in touch-

Happy Holidays!

Well, it's been a while since I posted-kind of got caught up in all of the holiday festivities. We had a pretty quiet Thanksgiving -spent the day with the McGuire's and then got to visit Erin, Brian and Dylan at the MacFarlane's house. Shortly after that, Sean and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary....Where does the time go? Then we started getting ready for Christmas-We visited Santa, put up lights outside, got our tree, decorated the house, did some shopping and mailing, visited with friends, went to the Zoo lights, whew-just a busy few weeks. We spent Christmas at home, just the three of us, and we all took turns getting sick...but the highlight of our holiday was having Stephen and Sathana come visit! It was their first time in AZ and visiting us-it was fun to have family here during the holidays. The sad part of the holidays for us was losing Sean's Grandma Hobbie. We feel so fortunate to have had her in our lives for so long...and that she was able to meet Elliot a few times.

We wish you a very Happy New Year and may 2008 bring you much joy and peace.

lots of love to all
