The things we have been up to...

This last week has been lots of fun. We have been exploring town and trying to get to know the area. We went swimming at the local pool on Thursday. Ivan loved it! He is growing SO much. He is really trying to talk more. He repeats (in syllable form) everything we say. So fun! He is teething like crazy. He recently got his 5th tooth in! He is also finally sleeping through the night again. It took a couple weeks for him to get used to a new place but he has finally done it. This obviously means we get more sleep and we arent so cranky. :)

We also visited the Petrified Forest. It was beautiful!

This is Paul and Ivan in front of the base of  petrified tree.

This gives you an idea of how beautiful the inside of a petrified tree is. It turns into agats and crystals. Pretty amazing.

All three of us infront of the Painted Desert.

This is just a giant petrified log.

As you can see its pretty amazing. If you ever happen to be in AZ road tripping it I recommend going to the petrified forest.

On Saturday we went to Hon-Dah. Its an indian reservation. They had something they call Winterfest going on. Basically they get huskies together and do dog sled races. They then do a do show, dog weight pull and some ice carving.

This guy was pretty crazy.

He made a yeti.

He then went on to make a dog sled with a little eskimo.

This is just a family picture right after the winterfest.

Come Saturday night it was Ivan's bath time. Always a fun way to end the day.

And that ends our third week in AZ. Monday we will be going to the Pheonix Zoo! I am so excited. Obvisouly there will be pictures to come.
We love and miss everyone. Have a great week!
