Week in Photos- 5/30

This week's Farmer's Market yielded carrots, peaches, eggs, butter, pak choy, stir fry mix, mint, eggplant, dates.

Izzie enjoyed her time at the Splash Park so much so she got some watery eyes to prove she's been in the chlorine. This week she'll be showing off her fancy new swimsuit. Two suits? Such a diva.

The Begays are now proud members of The Tucson CSA! So check out all the fun goodies we make every week from our great plant haul. Izzie is going to love what we got cooking for her. I am truly excited and soon my Izzie will be carrying more than an eggplant.

Splash Park

Last Monday, Leia was invited to Maddie's birthday party at Brandi Fenton Park. It was a nice warm day in Tucson.


Perfect for a party and getting cool in the Splash Park. It was just the right size for us new parents of a new walker.


Leia has been getting a little fearful of new situations and she wanted her mom and dad close the whole time. She held tight and made sure she was close enough to hop into her parent's arms.


Leia mainly watched all the other kids have fun. She may have touched the water on the ground but refused to get showered by any other source.

She was even fearful of the water spout that was a low flow system.

Next time, we will definitely take more sunscreen, water and go when there are less screaming preteens hanging out. Mom and Dad will also be wearing swimwear so that we can go through more of the splashes with her.





Maddie got a Fancy Nancy tutu and tiara with "posh" earrings. Fancy Nancy is one of our favorite picture book characters. Hopefully, Maddie loves her, too.

Saturday and Sunday Izzie came down with a fever. She spent most of the week on the floor with her treasure bear (a blanket/stuffed bear/bag). Poor monkey girl :( Will she be well enough for Maddie's birthday?

2009 Shiprock Marathon

On May 1st, The Tucson Begays left for the rez to run in the Shiprock Marathon. Izzie would be dropped off on the way so that we could sleep and rest for the race ahead. Instead, it gave Tia a heartache. It was hard to leave behind our baby even for a few hours but she was in good hands with Grandma.

We spent the night in Farmington, NM.

The hotel was definately lacking with everything falling down around us including tiles and the dry wall off the ceiling. We spent the morning talking about strategy.

It was a cold and rainy morning when Jas and I began our run in Shiprock. This was our journey together to complete a couples half marathon.

We got on the bus and we each had our own journey. Read about them here: Shiprock Marathon

Finishing time for Jasper 2 hours 44 minutes.

Finishing time for Tia 3 hours 2 minutes.After our run we ate some Burger King and went back to my mom's house. Izzie spent lots of time with the new puppies that Ginger had and sleeping in grandma's room.
