About Me

Our adventure started on a beautiful June day in 2004. Fast forward 12 years and now we are the proud parents of 3 active, beautiful boys. Nathan, Bracken, and Marco. We call Prescott Valley, Arizona home and are constantly reminded that there is never enough time to accomplish and experience everything we think we want. Life with a young family is precious and simplicity is our ongoing quest.

Skate Parks Rule!

One morning Curtis forgot his lunch on the kitchen counter, so I called him and we decided to meet up at a park near the college to have a picnic lunch together.  This park has a skate park as well, and I knew the boys would love to check it out so I brought their scooters with us.  Nathan could hardly contain himself he was so excited!  He ate is sandwich in record time only to find out he had to wait for Mom and Dad to finish their lunches too.  Skate parks are a little scary for several reasons, they have dangerous drop offs and 9 foot deep holes the size of swimming pools not to mention the questionable characters that linger there at all hours of the day, so we had to be with him.  While Nathan waited for us to finish our lunch, he and Bracken kept busy on the playground.
 It did'nt take Nathan long to realize that most of the skate park was out of his league, the ramps were a bit too steep for his liking. 
 But we eventually found a spot that had ramps just to his liking, and he thought he was hot stuff going up and down and back and forth between two ramps.


 Bracken had a blast walking up and down the ramps.  Notice the chocolate on his face? 
I wiped it off after this picture.
 Bracken also liked to watch his scooter roll down the ramps.
 But he loved it when Papi pushed him around on his scooter.

 Sliding on the rail like a pro!
Curtis made Bracken do all kinds of tricks, complete with commentary and sound effects.
 Ready, Set, GO!
Thanks for the fun lunch date Papi!
