Joe's Farm Grill.

Today the family enjoyed some lunch at Joe's Farm Grill. Amazing food (the fontina burger rocks!) and great outdoor atmosphere! The buildings on site were contemporary in design with beautiful green gardens on the property, too. This urban farm was a fun find!

Who let this little cow roam around the farm?!

Luke shows of the green gardens and beautiful blooms.

Goal.

Scott has been playing in a soccer league for the past few months with a buddy from Motorola. We went out to watch our soccer star, but the fan club got a little chilly on this blustery night.

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah.

Luke has mastered the zip line at the park. Check it out! Hold on for a fun ride.

Something to say.

He may be little, but Reid sure has something to say.

Ruby Slipper Designs in print.

Ruby Slipper Designs has had a great start in 2007. Recently, one of Jami's clients called to say her wedding was featured in a local wedding planning publication called "The Wedding Chronicle," and that Ruby Slipper Designs was mentioned, too! Here's one page of the spread. The yellow arrow highlights where RSD is mentioned. Free advertising is the best!

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Grandma Dixie is celebrating her 64th birthday on Sunday. She had much assistance celebrating ... a trip to Sedona and Jerome with Grandpa Jim, breakfast at the Good Egg with the family, and angel food cake with strawberries (and lots of candles!) Luke was very excited about helping Grandma celebrate her birthday and reminding her that she's 64 and he's 3. Happy Birthday, Mimi!

Ready for the WWF.

These two in the lightweight division took to a wrestling match in the grass today.

Park time.

We enjoyed some park time tonight. The last 2 days have been a little rainy/cloudy (plus 3 out of 4 Leahys have been sick this last week). We ventured out and about for a picnic/fishing excursion this evening. No bites by the fish, but we sure enjoyed our cheese pizza from Nicantoni's!
We have begun some investigative research quizzing the other fishermen at the lake as to what to use as bait. So far the survey says the following work well to catch the large carp: chunks of bread, hot dogs, shrimp (wait a minute there ... those silly fish that you have to throw back in the water if you catch them are not eating better than we do!) Tonight, the bait du jour was pizza crusts.

A vet, a duck, and a cow walk into a mall...

While true to life, it's no joke that Papa, Luke & Reid were cracking each other up with these hats today at the mall. Luke was sporting Reid's duck cap, Reid was loving his new cow hat, and Papa ... well, he just likes that Grayhawk hat. Glad these little animals were in good care with their veterinarian grandfather.

Anchors away.

Here is Reid at 5 months, looking sharp in his sailor suit. Yes, it's been warm here so we've had to bust out the summer wear.

Have Brother, Will Travel.

The Leahy brothers have a new mode of transportation these days! Luke likes to ride his bike and pull Reid behind him in the bike trailer. Papa came up with this configuration, and Luke is so proud to be able to help out his little brother! Let's roll!

Cheers!

The O'Leahys enjoyed celebrating St. Patty's Day with the neighborhood leprechauns and the O'Nelson grandparents who are in town for a visit. Papa enjoyed holding this Irish brew and baby!

A fresh new coat of paint.

Jami enjoyed an afternoon with Terese and Heidi at Camelback Inn for pedicures and a little toe TLC. What fun girl time and a great chance to relax and chat while being pampered, too!

Drink up.

Reid has become Mr. Independent with his bottle and likes to hold it on his own now. He misses the target sometimes and we have a drippy mess to clean up, but for the most part he likes to chug on his own these days.

Golfing at Grayhawk.

Our friends Heidi and Mike Pollmann were in town visiting this past week, so Scott joined them and our friend Terese for an afternoon of golf at Grayhawk. Scott doesn't get to hit the links too often, so he enjoyed a good round of golf with good friends. The rest of the family joined everyone for lunch beforehand.

Heidi, Terese, Scott, and Mike pose for a pic before a highly competitive round of golf!

Save me!

"Why does this big kid always try and get in the swing with me?! Doesn't he know this is a solo swing? He's cramping my style!"

Hangin' around.

One of Luke's favorite things at the park is to ride the zip line. He's watched the older kids zip down and back, so he's perfected the skill after much research from watching the big kids! So here he is ... just hangin' around ... mid zip!

Harvest Fest!

This weekend we attended a fun gathering at our friends the Herndons. Good grilltime, good socializing, good weather ... what more could you want!

Luke and his pal Owen survey this pile of freshly picked oranges to determine what kind of trouble they could stir up with that many oranges. They had to be reminded a few times to not throw them!

Reid is a fun date for Mom at this party! He was on his best behavior!

Rollin' through the zoo.

The zoo has been our 2nd home lately. We're really putting that family membership to use this spring! We took a trip today with our friends the Glanvilles and enjoyed the 85 degree temps. Here are the little monkeys as we rolled through the zoo.

Robby, Ethan, Reid & Luke take the grand tour of the zoo!

The Music Men.

The boys received a care package from Papa yesterday, which contained enough instruments for the boys to start a rock band. So we've been enjoying the musical interludes of our newly discovered talents of playing the drums, kazoo, castanets, maracas, harmonica, etc. When Luke and Reid make it big on the rock band scene, be sure to get in line for autographs.

Little drummer boy ... Reid takes a seat inside the drum.

Luke gets ready to shake, shake, shake!
