Back in Pinetop 2011

We are spending another beautiful week in the White Mountains enjoying cooler weather, rain, thunder and lightning. Of course, the day we left Yuma was the same day of the major power outage. That only helped us appreciate the change in temperature that much more. We celebrated Jimmy's 1st birthday the other night and he was just about to fall asleep at the table.


Happy Birthday Sleepy - Johnna was so prepared packing the decorations and party hats from home and making a great Cherry Chip Cake.

Of course nobody's ever happy when they realize they are another year older.

How was that cake Jeffry?

We sing happy birthday to sleepy.

Jeffry, What are you doing down there?

There's that beautiful face we love.

Some Miniature Golf with the boys - I couldn't play because I exceeded the height requirement. Thankfully, Johnna was Ok.

Jake really likes the go-carts. Unfortunately, dad weighs down the cart too much and it won't "go" as fast as mom and Jeffry's.


Look at that competitive face Johnna has. No wonder she rarely played organized sports. The opposition would've had no chance.

It was a great day at the park. It is fun to see the different stages of development of the three kids as they play on the various park equipment.

Jeffry loved the swings.

Apparently, Jimmy was not thrilled to be going down the "small" slide. C'mon mom, don't you know 1-year-olds can go down the "big" slide.

We took Jake to the golf course with us one day to play 9 holes. Unfortunately, Nanna forgot to put the range bucket under the shoot to catch the balls before putting the tokens in. Some of the balls made it all the way to the parking lot.

We stopped one day at a local home to get fresh eggs and were invited into the backyard to meet Gracie and George (goats) a Beau (horse) and several chickens (I don't remember their names).

Went Fishin' at Show Low Lake one day. Unfortunately, we didn't catch anything, but Jake did well casting his pole with a little help.

Jeffry helped get the worms out for us.

Even Jake handled the worms with a little prodding. Much better than his dad did at this age.

After awhile, mom and Nanna took the kids to the park across the street from the lake.

Looks like the trip to the park was more for Nanna

...and mom

But the kids had fun too.
