Merry Christmas From the Lowes 2014



We wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year!

Mom & Dad's Visit



WE had a great time with my parents at Thanksgiving.  WE celebrated my mom's 80th birthday and my dad's 84th.  Had a magical Fairy breakfast for my mom with dragonfly lighted table and fairy centerpiece.  Fresh berries and a fairy pie!  She was whisked off to an outing of bowling and Fatso's pizza for early dinner.  She amazes me at her athletic form at the bowling alley.  We took dad to a wonderful Christmas play  at the local church.  Spectacular animals were part of the show.  Zebras, Elephants, tigers, camels and more. Oh My!! We had a salmon lunch and Triple chocolate cake for dessert.  Fun! Fun! Fun!

Our Girls!!


Miss Dandylion

Miss Blossom

Hannah is learning first hand how to raise Chickens.  WE were blessed with a chicken coop from our friends the Hawk family and thought we would give it a try.  Looking forward to it.  The girls are very sweet. We got them when they were 3 days old as chicks.  Now they are living in the coop on the side of the house. Murphy is a little confused as to what his role is.  But I think he will learn that they are part of the family.  They are so fun to have around.  We started out with three.  We had a black silkie but we are not sure what happened to her.  It was sad to see her missing.  Hannah may show at the county fair.  She would have to leave them down at the fair grounds and I think she has a hard time with that. We can't wait to have fresh eggs.  Yipee!

Arizona State University Grad!!!

Mitch Graduated from ASU.  We are very proud of him.  He achieved his BA in Health and Wellness.  He has a successful business helping people as a physical trainer.  He is also helping people with their meal planning and health tips online
it is called "Mind Set Fitness".
Great Job Mitch!!

Lemons? Who needs Lemons?


We planted a lemon tree in the front yard last spring and have been patiently waiting for lemons.  We never imagined we would get caterpillars instead.  They are so ugly they are cute.  I love how when you press on their bodies they "POP" out orange antennae's.
We have at least 8 on the tree.  About 3 weeks ago we saw two beautiful swallowtail butterflies in our backyard floating around.  Who knew we would have babies. I love
front yard science!  I can't wait for the chrysalis'.  I can't wait for the butterflies!

Halloween 2014

 
Granny Nanny with her crow puppet "Fig-Noodle".  I love how she shares her puppets with the senior center and convalescent hospitals.  Peyton and Aaron go to chipotle every year to get their $3 burrito in costume.  Cowboy and Angel Ha Ha!
Hannah passed out candy and enjoyed family time with fire pit and smores.
She was a nerd!
