in AZ

We're here!  And Ryan had been working so hard to get the house all set up for us, and now it's my turn to get to work on the house.  I'm going to paint it...the whole thing!  Luckily Tara is here to help me.  ;)  Since Tara and her kids are in town for a month, Jack and Drake have been inseparable!  It's sooo cute to watch them play.  And it feels so good to be back enjoying the monsoons and loving Arizona!  Ryan is so excited to be a school boy again!  He's got ASU pride now (even though BYU will always be #1) and loves learning about the law.  

But even with all these exciting times we've been having, we miss our family and friends in Sacramento.   Some of the good times....
