October Catch Up {mobile monday}

We're staying busy as ever... here's some snapshots from the iphone from a few of our October happenings.  Enjoy!
* Fiesta Sahuarita - our town celebrated 20 years with a big party - everyone had a great time
* Halloween preparation of festivities commenced and thanks to Grandma Brunette, our house is full of all kinds of creatures to startle MOM and keep the dogs cowering in the corners
* Both Buggy and Monkey Boy were invited as special guests to participate in the SIS Pep Rally, they enjoyed seeing some of their old teachers
* I don't have any pics just yet, but we also had a great fall break in the middle of all the craziness - Buggy even made another amazing trip with friends to Mexico

Friday Night Lights and MORE! {mobile monday}

Our weeks have somewhat bled together but it's been a fun and lively type of busy... here's some highlights from the last two weeks via my mobile phone:

* Monkey Boy was recognized as Student of the Week, he also worked with his friend Ernie on a school project

* Freckle Face did her duty with NJROTC at the last couple of SHS football games while the rest of enjoyed the excitement from the bleachers

* Bug had her hand in a little of everything this month and worked hard on some projects for NJHS and cheerleading

* We 'endured' a couple of big hurricanes that came up from Baja/Mexican coast which caused a whole lot of flooding and storm damage throughout southern AZ - however, we fared well and are grateful for the rain

* Coming up this week we have some super rad events to shout about: the Aquabats in concert, the town's 20 year celebration, Fiesta Sahuarita and our last official week as a military family.

Butterflies Galore

I'll share more from this beautiful and secluded southern Arizona spot soon - but I wanted to share this first shot.... SOOO many butterflies bouncing around, it was almost impossible to decide on where I should focus my energy AND camera.
Happy Wednesday!
