FALL & FAMILY...

Fall is in the air in Arizona...mornings and evenings are cool and makes me want to get outdoors and enjoy the weather!  I'm sure it must be the same for people who live cooped up all winter inside away from the COLD...but here we escape to the indoors because of the HEAT!

We hosted a family brunch for Vince's brothers and families yesterday...it was a wonderful chance to see everyone again...as too much time had passed since we were all together.  Unfortunately, Martin, Kim and Troy were unable to join us due to Troy's baseball tournament in Peoria.  We pressed on, however, and enjoyed four hours together!  Above are cousins, left to right, Alissa, Michael, Austin, Josh and Josh's wife Beth.
Here, right to left, are my daughter-in-law Corissa, niece Natalie, and Giana who is Austin's girlfriend, all "cousins" in their hearts!



My son-in-law, Alan, was keeping his eyes on the little ones--Cailyn and Landon are bundles of energy, for sure!  Note the "gel stickers" all over Cailyn's doll, Bella--she was pretending that those were barretts in her hair! ;-)

After eating, we enjoyed relaxing on our patio...catching up on the family news!  Later, Art and Vince went to the pond and "netted" some mosquito fish from our pond to share with Art & Dianne for their backyard pond.  We have plenty of fishies to share!


Landon and Cailyn took good naps in the afternoon.  Here's 8-month old Landon wearing his Ohio State-wrapped doc-band, along with his ASU football jersey!!  He's crawling all over now, and pulling up too!  There's no stopping this little guy!
