Emma Makes a Discovery

Kartchner Caverns

Jimmy, Dad, and I took a trip down the road from to Tucson to Benson.  We went there to visit the Kartchner Caverns.  It was an awesome cave with soda straws, bacon, stalactites, and stalagmites. Unfortunately we were not allowed to take our cameras inside, so this is the best I have....

Diamondbacks game with brother Ryan

Ryan was nice enough to take Jimmy and I to a Diamondbacks game while we were there in Tucson.  Mom and Dad were more than willing to take of Emma for the evening, so off we were to the game.  It was SUPER fun and a very EXCITING game.  They WON! We were in the 7th row from the field.  I was very afraid that we were going to get hit by a ball!  

7 Months Old!

Emma is 7 months old as of last week.  She is starting to develop her own character, which has many of my characteristics....stubbornness and screaming at the top of her lungs....hahahah.  She is on the verge of crawling...I cannot wait!  It has been so much fun getting to be home with her throughout my summer break. I definitely do not want to go back in a few weeks.  Thanks Auntie Danee for the FABULOUS A's skirt!

Reid Park Zoo

Jimmy ABSOLUTELY LOVE, LOVE,LOVES the Reid Park Zoo in Tucson.  He hopes that Emma will love the zoo too!  Here are just a few of the MANY pics from the zoo.

mmmmmm Beyond Bread!!!

Beyond Bread rocks!  Jimmy and I always have to make sure that we visit there when we go to Tucson....Emma likes it too....she LOVES their blue straws!

Pool Time for the FIRST Time

Emma got a chance to have her first pool experience while we were at my parents house.  Grandfather wanted Emma to be able to swim in the back yard, so Goo-ma (working on their names ahahhah!) got Emma an inflatable pool!  She had so much fun!  Goo-ma even gave her some traditional pool toys to play with...a spoon, measuring cup, and a funnel.  Emma did not know what to think at first, but soon found that it was fun to splash and relax.  Thanks Grandfather and Goo-ma!

4th of July!

The family reunion continued on Sunday with a family BBQ for the 4th of July.  It was in an old corral near the site of the old homestead in Oro Blanco.It was GREAT fun!  Then we went back to the ranch.  Later that night we watched fireworks on A mountain...as usual it caught on fire hahhaha....then enjoyed some fireworks of our own....shhhh!

Noon Family Reunion Saturday!

This year is the 130th Anniversary of the Noon family being in Arizona!  So, for the 4th of July, we all got together for a family reunion in Arizona.  It was great to see some family members we have not seen in a while and it was also nice to get to meet some new ones.  On Saturday, we visited a museum, the cemetery, and had a family dinner in Nogales.
