it has been FREEZING here...record lows for the last few days,
with highs during the day of 9 degrees?!!!!
waaaay too cold to take jackson out of the house...so
we've been pretty house cooped, watching lots of tv and
just hanging out. kind of nice to have nothing to do and
nowhere to go!

arizona trip

we headed to sunny phoenix last weekend to celebrate grandpa nort's 85th birthday.
it was so nice to hang by the pool in the warm weather and have a couple coronas in the middle of winter!
we went hiking with lar up to the top of camelback mountain, and the view was amazing!!!
while we were hiking, linda and the pipers were out buying fiesta decorations for nort's party---
and showed up at the pool with sombreros for everyone...
