Phx Zoo

Mike and I took the kids to the Phoenix zoo for the 24th. Even though it is was 105+ degrees, we had a great time. There was plenty to see and do which made the day alot of fun. This zoo is quite large so we didn't see everything we wanted to, but we plan on going back again soon. To help with the heat issue, they had two different water play areas for the kids & adults if they wished to get wet. It definitely felt great to cool off and it made it easier to walk around in the sun. Next time we plan on getting there early. They open at 7 am so the earlier the better.

Happy 2nd Birthday Aleena!!

We celebrated Aleena's 2nd birthday today. I cant believe she is already 2, it seems like yesterday we were just bringing her home from the hospital. Time sure does fly by so very quickly. We are so very blessed to have Aleena in our family and we love her so very much. She bring a smile to our faces and is our little bug. We love you!

Update on the Rigby's

Well after leaving the comforts of our home of 41/2 years at the village, we began our slow journey into life without school. We moved in with Mikes parents not knowing how long our stay would be. In June Mike was offered a job interview with ADOT (Arizona Department of Transportation). We made a trip down for his interview and were able to have Katie and Steve join us for the trip. After completing everything we traveled to AZ for, we headed back home hoping and praying that this job would come through. Well not even two weeks later, he recieved a phone call that answered all our prayers, He got the job!! We were all so excited and releaved to finally be able to move on. We left for AZ on the 6th of July and arrived on the 7th. Mike's dad was a sweetheart and offered to drive the moving truck for us while we drove the van. We all made it safely and have finally gotten settled in our home. We acquired a few kinks here and there with this home being vacant for more than 5 months, but the home has really been great. It's so nice to be living in a home with space rather than a cramped apartment. The kids have seemed to make the adjustments rather well, Quinton will start Kindergarden on the 9th of Aug which is coming up rather quickly, but we are excited for him to be able to begin learning more and make some friends.
