Arizona

Mom and Dad went down to Arizona in July to help Ricky and Eden move into their new house. The first picture is of Dad and Lincoln swimming in Troy and Nancee's pool. The second picture is of the two Arizona toddlers, Lincoln and Erica. More pictures will be posted as I recieve them...

Marissa, Mallory and Nathan

Marissa and Mallory had a fun visit with Tutus in July.

This is at Pocatello's version of Chuck-E-Cheese, called 'Outer Limits'. Mom said the girls had a lot of fun doing climbing and playing arcade games. Even Dad and Mom had fun!

Marissa obviously takes after her grandmother, as she is hard at work on her latest project. For those of you who don't know, Marissa has become quite the author. She has pages and pages of fairy drawings and she puts them together as little chapter books. She also makes drawings for potential websites.

I'm not sure what this is of, but Mallory looks dang cute! I can't believe how long her hair is getting. She looks like a teenager! (Mom said the girls had fun playing dress up with my makeup and jewelry, so this is probably of that).

While the girls were in Idaho with their grandparents, this little guy was getting treated for asthma. Everything is supposed to be okay now though. Heather says these are two of Nathan's favorite things--playing in the water and collecting rocks. He is already such a boy!

Thanks for sending these pics, everybody keep them coming!

Ryan went to Alaska!

Ok, the Reed Phillips Family blog has been really struggling lately. I (nat) have taken it upon myself to revive the blog and keep it updated at least monthly. Unfortunately, Pocatello has little to offer in the way of exciting news, so any of you brothers and sisters who would like me to do a post on you or your family, just send me a pic with a description and I will take care of the rest. (send to natalee.phillips@gmail.com)

Example... do any of you know that Ryan went with his boss to Alaska recently? Yeah, I didn't either. Here is a picture of he and his co-workers. Notice the red circle--he said there were two bears that just hung out the whole weekend, not more than 30 feet away! Crazy!
Keep your info coming and I will do updates on everybody!
Thanks!

Freckles and Erica

J and Sam getting close to a large horse. Knox stayed on the other side of the fence. Eventually all three boys got on a horse for a ride. We visited a farm near their place owned by a friend of mine. The picture on the rock is in a little park by the highway with a waterfall. It was very nice and the boys didn't even get wet. Mary on her scooter is a delight. Her legs are only long enough to push her backward but she is happy. Had a great trip and want to return again. Thanks to all of your for our special naps, for visiting the dog across the street, for the homemade pies, for the trip to Chill and Grill and for the hot dog roast. Grandpa Tutu
