Graham looses his 1st tooth




Graham lost his first tooth Sat morning while on vacation. Here he's showing off his toothless gap.

In the hotel



Gotta love the color scheme in the hotel. Graham & Ethan showing off their guns.

Leaving Rawhide-not a popular decision

Boys join the band



Ethan seems to think the tamborine is up to something fishy.




Ethan really got into playing his air guitar.

More from Rawhide


Busted! This sheriff wouldn't take any shenanigans, so the boys end up in jail. Ethan & Graham had to cool their heels until the lone ranger vouched for them.

Graham shot the Sheriff, but didn't shoot the deputy



Graham decided he didn't like that sheriff putting him and his brother in jail, so he took him out.

Graham & Ethan's new posse


With the sheriff gone, there's a new gang in town!

More pics from Rawhide



A couple of the characters. First, here's one of the sheriffs. He had a gunfight immediately upon the place opening. The boys thought it was loud but really cool. And then here's a pic of one of the characters involved in a gunfight. Notice the margarita bar behind him. Lots of smoke comes out of those old Colts.

Rawhide AZ Jan 2008





We stopped at Rawhide in Chandler, Az this past weekend while in Phoenix for a long weekend. Rawhide is a wild west town that has shootouts, burro rides (as you can see here), panning for gold (I'm rich Maw!) and a margarita bar. Guess the wild west was fueled on tequila from an outdoor bar. The boys had a great time since guns were involved. They ran around like maniacs, met some new friends, played with the band, and generally tore up the place.

The boys tackle Disney

Here we are before our morning flight. The boys didn't fall asleep until about midnight. We walked them around O'Hare at 11 pm. Cindy & I were going a bit crazy to say the least.

Dane/Veronica/Sofia & Dylan come visiting

Dylan tastes the hammer. Hmmm, not bad, but I prefer grapes.
Sofia looks cute, even in work goggles
Veronica-sorry Dane, it appears I forgot to shoot you (again).
Sofia making a funny face-Dad's favorite
