We visited the dentist today for a filling (William)and he did really great. We have a awesome dentist! He is so caring and sweet with the kids. Dr. Tyler saw both William and Annie today. I only got pics of William. Hopefully my friend (K.D.S.) will see the picture and recognize who our dentist is. He is awesome if anyone wants a referral to him. It's Kids First.

Last Saturday we caught a lizard in our backyard, so funny it was just climbing all over William and I like it was okay to be there. I had to get a picture for William and then all day after that all he talked about was getting a lizard for Christmas.

A busy LIFE!

Arizona had an awesome storm this last week, and my kids and daycare kids got in on the fun. We splashed and played for over an hour in the rain. It was really great entertainment!

Friday was the start of Fall break and we went to the school for the awards ceremony. William had perfect attendance, with the winter coming I know that probably won't happen again so we got in on it now.

William has two loose teeth, tonight while watching a movie with him I told him to wiggle them. He said mom, this one is really loose, so I felt and voila it came out. He was so excited he called Bumpa and told him the good news.

D-Backs

Steve wanted to take the family to a D-backs game, so he got tickets through work and we headed out around 3pm so that we could get some Bobblehead?????????. I didn't think Annie was quite ready for a baseball game but thought we could try. She really did a good job as long as the music was playing or people were getting excited about homerun, out's and all that other baseball stuff. William really enjoys that baseball games and really takes an interest in it. We really had a nice time and the kids had fun seeing the Big Bobblehead's (Grace, Williams,Johnson) race.

Before Steve and I had W/A we went to the games all the time. I really enjoy baseball because I can understand it unlike Football. We really had a good time as a family.

First day of School

Today was William's first day of school, I was nervous but he was so excited. I went over all kinds of info, I am sure was overwhelming but he did so great. I can't believe how grown up he is getting. I love my boy and I know he will do great this year in school. He saw one of his Primary buddies Tayson when we got to the playground and was so excited. He gave me a kiss and said see ya later MOM!

Birtday Celebration!

We started my birthday celebration on Friday night. Steve and I went to Black Angus for dinner. I got a free steak dinner and my sister in law gave me 3 gift cards so our dinner with appitizer/desert was only $12. Awesome.

Saturday we dropped the kids off at Mimi and Bumpa house and went to lunch at Ruby Tuesday (free burger) then saw Iron Man 2 at the $2 movies. Went upstairs to the food court and had my free Orange Julius, then over to Krispy Kreme for my free dozen doughnuts. We were ready to get home by then so we decided to pick up the kids and off to Joe's BBQ for my free meal. I had all these awesome pictures to show but they wouldn't load? It was a great birthday celebration. My mom got to a gift cert and some under clothing. Steve bought me a new camera since my sweet little angel threw mine at me when we were camping. My sister in law gave me the gift cards, and I got so many well wishes from so many people that love me. Even at church people were telling me Happy Birthday, it was an awesome day!

Look at these two hot girls, getting some sun and getting wet!

William's fish that he thought he caught, this was a priceless day.

After a little rain.

We got a fire started and had some marshmallows.

It's always a great time with Bumpa around.

This past weekend was our family campout, my parents have been doing this for 41yrs. They have been to the same camp ground all but 3yrs due to the Rodeo/Chetisky Fire. Camping with kids is not easy, I really don't know how my parents did it for a week with 6 kids. We were changing William and Annie's clothes at least twice a day. The weather was beautiful till it would rain so much you wanted to pack up and leave. I enjoyed watching the kids play in the creek and in the forest. William and his dad tried fishing, with some luck from Uncle Kyle William thought he got a fish and was happy as a clam!

4th of July

Went to Mimi's house for 4th of July celebration. Since it was on Sunday we just watched fireworks from our ward building and some from our backyard. Took a swim and ate some yummy mexican food with my brother and his family along with Mimi and Bumpa.

I remember growing up and our family along with the two other families would go to a 4th of July celebration. I can't remember where it was but we always had such a great time. I hope that in the future my family can celebrate 4th of July in a way that my children would remember, when they look back on their life.
