Thunderbird Trails

Our family loves to go on hikes, if you know us, then you already know that. 
We really miss going on hikes. Real hikes. Not walking up a dirt hill in Arizona. Now, don't get your panties in a bundle you Arizonans. The dirt roads scattered with cacti can have some beautiful views but are they really considered hikes? Really? We still go of course because there isn't really a whole lot more to do outside here in Arizona, especially since the temperatures are going to be hitting 107 degrees this weekend. But the hikes we miss are the ones in Hawaii and Alaska. Not so much  Alaska because of the bears and other crazy animals but gosh were they beautiful. But you really can't go wrong with hikes in Hawaii. Usually the consist of some sort of waterfall or swim hole you can cool off in. I don't even want to start on the views you can experience. 
Enough with my venting about the lack of real hikes. 

We went to Thunderbird and had a good time. We saw a snake and Bells did exactly what we have taught her to do. We were so proud. She brought her binoculars to spot crazy animals. 
She is into animals and the whole National Geographic "things" just as I was. I love it. 


At the top of the hill. This dessert goes on FOR-EV-ER!


Daddy stealing Bells' binoculars to look at the golf course.
Yes yes he did!


I believe this was Bells telling me about the pirates in the distance. Good thing we were to high up for Captain Hook to get us. She said the snakes would get him anyway, whew!


I think we need to invest in clips for our fly-a-ways and a razor for the handsome guy in our life. 


We hold hands when we hike.
We love each other that much. 



I know its not hiking in Hawaii but really it doesn't matter. Its just the three of us and really, 
that is all we need. Well and some sun, we really like the sun!

He Knows Me Best


I had such a wonderful Mother's Day! My husband knows me best. I thought he had forgot about it all. After all  it was in the middle of moving, finals and I was 81miles away... we had talked about this already and I was fine with it.  But he surprised me and I loved it. 
My new pink, hybrid beach cruiser. The only way it could be better, was if it were Nike. 


What do ya think?


Bells riding Hawaiian Style of course!


She was pretending to be a hummingbird right here.



 I couldn't of had a better day thanks to the two loves of my life.

Miah took my bike out for a spin and he loved it so much. He wants to get the matching red one. 
I hope everyone else had a great day too!
I love being a mom!
