Too Much going on

I was thinking we'd update this a little more often with more news to share, but things have gotten a little busy and haven't had too much free time. So a re-cap... we went to an arena football game with the Caffall's one friday night the beginning of May- decided we should probably get out a little more while we have the opportunity.Then we made it home for Mother's Day as a last minute trip. We spent most of our time Hanging out at the McDowell's to spend time with the family since it was a short quick trip. Sunday morning mom got a Bath and I had the chance to poof up her hair a little bit, so here is the Mother's Day pic of the year. We had dinner at Jim and Monica's- and then we flew out to CO around 10:30p. Tuesday night Ben flew back home since his mom wasn't doing too well- and I made it home Thursday after a partial day of work. Mom McDowell passed away Wednesday night so it wasn't a planned thing to come home so soon, but it was great that we were able to make it home on short notice. Ben was about done with school for the semester and I am able to get a week off of work, so we are still here spending time with the family. The viewing was Friday night and the Funeral Saturday morning. Ben gave an excellent spiritual talk and all the boys did a great job giving the life sketch. They had plenty to work with since she's such an amazing lady. We did a little searching through pictures and got stories from the aunts and uncles of how things were growing up.... it was fun to learn a little more about her and the past. We will definitely miss her, but hope she is taking care of our little babies in the mean time. So that was our filled weekend and now have a chance to relax a little bit. Yesterday we went hiking to Reavis Ranch- a total of 14 miles and I am completely wiped out. It was great to get outdoors and was beautiful- as AZ gets anyway. So today I had a chance to stay chilled all morning and pretty much slept. My body just doesn't work the same anymore. I did get another Ultrasound sometime in the past week or two, so I'll see what we can do about that. I'm sure everyone else knows what they look like- but I was pretty proud that they look like babies now. We'll see.....
