Tombstone

We started our journey today with visiting Grandma and Grandpa Farnsworth.  Next, we buried a very close friend to my Mom and  "Aunt Virginia" to my boys in Tombstone.  After the very hard goodbye and food and drinks afterward, we took the boys exploring a little bit.

We are all pretty exhausted (why is this in blue? don't know....too tired).  But we still have to get up early to prepare for St. Patty's Day party at school, gotta go make the Shamrock Jello Jigglers.

Visiting Grandma and Grandpa Farnsworth

We always have sooooo much fun visiting Grandma and Grandpa.  There is always something to do, things to explore, and lots to talk about.  We love them so much!!

Some funny pics

Mason in his big boy underwear.  Potty training has been really easy.  It helps to have a big brother cheering him on and that I waited til he was old enough to really "get it".

Jarron is behind the camera taking a pic of Mason's behind :)

Tucson orchestra

Mammy took the boys and I to the Tucson orchestra for kids day.  The theme was a Safari and they used all percussion instruments which they really enjoyed.
