Livin' in Tucson

This is a snake James saw while him and some friends were out golfing. It was about 4 ft. long

this is a spider I caught while Natalie was at work. I was nice enough to keep it 'til she got home so she could see it. ha ha

We saw this little guy literally at the bottom of our steps as we were taking the trash out one night. Now you have to understand.... this is winter! what comes out in the summertime, we don't wanna know!

what we've done

we've been busy getting around the new town and seeing what it has to offer. A lot of the times we've forgotton our camera, like when we went to the air and space museum, when we went to the resort, out to dinner with Jesse and Katie. But we do get out of the house and get away from Jack, believe it or not. The comedian Jeff Dunham came to town a while ago. He's the guy with the puppets from comedy central. I admit I can't spell his occupation and I challenge all of you to try and spell it. I don't even know if they have it in predictive text.

Here was Natalie Valentines gift to me :) we went to Biosphere 2. It was awesome and yes, it's exactly like biodome. Some people lived in it for 2 years. Minor complications but overall very informative. It had everything from a rain forest to a desert and even and ocean. the top left picture is us in front of it. top right is in the view of the ocean exhibit, bottom left is Nattie in front of the ocean and the video is of part of the orchard they had to get fruits from when they lived there.

updates on Jack

Our friend Ashley bought a little girl puppy Beagle named "Tank" they love to play and wrestle but even they need to take time outs and hydrate.

He's a hit with our friends. He's a star when we go to our friends house and he loves the HUGE back yard he gets to play in. He got everyones rib bones on superbowl sunday

He had his first beer the other day as he licked mine when I wasn't looking. It went really well with the rib bones everyone gave him.

Our little guy is adorable and is the closet we have to a kid so deal with it :p He graduated his first puppy class and is awesome! he's mastered every trick that has been thrown at him so we're happy we didn't get a stupid dog.

Jesse and Katie come to visit

A picture of a really cool looking cliff side on the way to Mt. Lemmon with Jesse and Katie

Jesse and Katie made it down for a couple days right after christmas :) It was sooooo much fun to be around family again and made us miss everyone more than ever. We had a great time but unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of the four of us, they're on Jesse's camera. But we did manage to get some of Katie cuddling with Jack on the way home from Mt. Lemmon (where me and Nattie got married) there's a little resort up there with an awesome pizza place. Funny note, when it snows up on the mountain.. everyone with trucks drive up there and fill the bed of the truck up with snow to put it on their yard. I didn't get a picture of this but it's WEIRD.
