A sassypants, an owl, and the stairs

Marnie requested to have pictures taken in her new bedroom. She loves being a big kid in a big bed with blankets she picked herself. Thanks again to Justin's Aunt Tammy and cousin Bridgett for giving Marnie this beautiful bed, and the trundle bed underneath too. She and Britt love having sleepovers in her room and staying up late to talk and giggle together.

Love those cheeks.

She told me, "mom, know what sassy means? It means you have add-uh-tood!"

How adorable is this burrowing owl?! We spent one evening walking around Zanjero Park in Gilbert, following this little beauty from post to post. They're pretty comfortable with people, so this one let us get close enough for the kids to really be excited about it.

Final picture. Owley and the San Tan mountains.

This owl dropped a feather and Britt snatched it right up! I love the spots.

Our new favorite game: Brimhall Ball. (Upside-down skee ball.)

The landing is Griz's favorite place to lounge. He gets sun in the morning, and is always conveniently located halfway from upstairs and halfway from downstairs. 

Pretty Marnie

Handsome Britt

I'm just now noticing the irony of this, but we had been finger painting with pudding, and here he is with clean hands and a pudding-covered face. :)
