catch up

I have lots of blog catching up to do. Instead of being my crazy organized self, I just uploaded a ton of photos from my phone and I think I'll just post them in no particular order, edited or not. So enjoy! 

We've had some crazy weather here in AZ the last few weeks! 

RAIN and more RAIN and dust storms and awesome rainbows :) 

 The park behind our house was SOOO flooded! You couldn't even see the swings, 

the mulch just floated to the top of the water. 

Rebekah and I got caught in the rain on a night run!
