Penelope

as you can see, the boys had a blast in Phoenix. Living off the land (there are probably over 40 types of fruits and veggies growing in my parents yard right now and the boys loved helping themselves), playing on the red-neck water slide i rigged up for them, lots of fun with cousins and friends and bex,  wrestles with mikey........

all of that, and still the highlight of the trip was 10 lbs.

presenting Penelope.....

my dad came home from work with bekah's 11th bday present, an 8 week old pot belly pig. SO CUTE! my boys, especially miles, of course were thrilled. Miles spent the rest of the evening given her bottles, coloring her back with chalk, and chasing it all over the yard. I guess they needed another animal....2 dogs, 3 chickens, 1 tortoise, and a fish weren't enough for this farm.
