Ears Pierced....

Vannah got her ears pierced!!! I did not take her though. She is now 10 months and her Auntie Linds took her on Monday to the mall to get them done. I could have no way been there. I cry when she gets her shots at her pediatrician! Linds even told me that she was suprised that got tears in her eyes when Savannah cried. It is horrible to see my baby in pain. So, I am glad that I was not there! But...she is doing great. She does not pull on them and she likes looking at them in the mirror.
Here are some pics of Vannah with her pretty diamond earrings and the lil mexican dress her Great Gramma Jackie bought her in Mexico.




In other news...in a month we are going up to St. George for my niece, Natalie's 2nd birthday. I am so excited to see her, (and my brother and his wife). We have not seen them since Thanksgiving last year. They only live 3 hours away. It is sad that I have not been up there more often to see them. We need to make more of an effort to drive up there!

In other news. Monsoons in Arizona have been on the rise the last week and continue to go. What is good about Monsoons is that while the sky darkens and the winds rise, the actual "monsoon" does not usually last more than an hour or so. Bad news is that when they come...they hit quick, hard, and dangerous with rain, wind, hail, dust storms, thunder, lightening and...flooding. (this may be the desert, but it does not mean it is flat!) Here are some pics I leave you with of Arizona Monsoons:
