Dateline: Green Valley, Arizona

Hi everyone! Kyle and I are updating you from Green Valley, Arizona this week, where we've gone to focus on bar exam preparation (for Mommy) and spoiling by grandparents (for Kyle.)


Kyle's grandparents prepared for his arrival like some countries prepare for visiting heads of state. They had all kinds of toys that they had either bought or borrowed from friends all ready to go. His crib was all set up in the den with a stuffed bunny. The pantry was stocked with all his favorite foods, like Vienna sausages, canned green beans, and Spaghetti-os.


My studying is going well. My parents are AWESOME for taking on almost 100% of the daily Kyle care this week so that I can study 10 hours a day. And now that I'm off work until after the exam I only have one full time job instead of three so it's almost like I'm on vacation anyway...until a week from today, anyway, when I start stressing big time! Haha!


Here are a few cute Kyle pics from the week:


Kyle got to visit the fire station down the street with his grandparents. This is a retirement community, so apparently the firefighters were happy to get a visit from a little boy. They gave him a plastic fire hat as a memento of his stay:




Kyle got to pick an orange off the tree in the backyard:



Kyle tried to play with the backyard water fountain as well:


I'll try to post more later this week, as well as a few pictures from last week's trip to SLC that I never got around to posting.

In other news, I found out that I finished 3rd in my age group in that race on Saturday with a chip time of 27:46. That's not bad! I think I'd like to try another one in March or April...just to see if I can improve at all between now and then.

We hope that everyone is having a great week! :)

I left a comment on your old blog several days ago without realizing you'd moved! Figured I re-post it in case you didn't get it, so here it is:

Okay – so, this is kind of different, but my husband and I are trying to get in touch with Drostan Baker and his family blog is private so we have no way of contacting him. We used to be in the same ward in Rexburg, Idaho and I know he is (or was) going to medical school in the Caribbean, which my husband is looking into doing, and we were wanting to get his opinions on things. Is there any way you could contact him by either emailing him or leaving a comment on their blog pointing him here? Our names are Jon and Jessie Jensen and Jon’s email is jgjensen76@hotmail.com. I’d really, really appreciate it! Sorry if this is weird!
