Bulls

One night Aaron came home from a run with Stephen and started telling me about how they ran past a bowl. I was unimpressed until he added some charades and I realized he was talking about a bull. 

Sure enough, there are 3 wild bulls that have moved into our neighborhood. The consensus on our development's Facebook group (granted, not the most official source) is that Arizona is a free range state. I admit that I haven't researched it too much, but the gist of it is that these bulls probably wandered through some broken fencing from the reservation north of us and wandered on down to take advantage of our irrigated grass. 

The bulls are now a very regular sight. They hang out in the grassy field at the end by the main road pretty much every morning and evening, then they go chill in the shaded washes during the day. There are three of them that I have seen. It is kind of awesome, kind of terrifying, and kind of annoying because there are now cow pies all over the place. 

Following along with the theme of random things- here's a video that Aaron made for his friend's birthday. It's a bunch of inside jokes so don't expect it to make much sense, but I thought that it was important to document Aaron being goofy and wearing a wig.

All Those Spring Holidays

 Here's a compilation of our under documented spring holidays

Valentines day strawberry jello desert. Hearts and strawberries have ranked among Elliot's favorite things for the past few years so he was all sorts of on board. 

The bloodlings posing with their leprechaun traps on St. Patrick's day. Elliot the craft king loved making them, despite this photo evidence to the contrary. 

We pulled everything green out of our fridge and called it dinner. I thought the pickles were a nice touch. 

Then Easter happened! Here's the dyed eggs that we later turned into deviled eggs. 

Easter dinner at Claudia's house. Isaac and Choco are good buddies now. 

Stephen put together an Easter egg hunt with scripture references to the Easter story.
