Zoo Trip

Recently, we went to the Phoenix Zoo with cousins Eliza and Chloe!  Of course, the girls had a blast!  We need to go more often! Thanks Girls for such a fun day!

More pics from today....

Today....

My mom called and said they had this big tarp from the trek at their house and thought it would be fun for the grandkids to come over and play slip and slide on it.  So, we all went over this afternoon and had some fun.  It was like 88 degrees today, so the kids were excited to get in their swimsuits and get wet!  I am so glad we have such good parents and family on both sides!  We are truly blessed to be surrounded by such awesome people!  

Presley

Ok, so last Saturday, Michael and Brooke went out of town and asked us to watch little Presley for them.  Of course I was like sure, whatever, it's just a dog!  Ok, it's like having another child.  Every hour it needed to go out to pee, and still had a few accidents in the house.  Needs to be fed.  Always wants your attention to play.  It was like having a third child.  That is why I am not pregnant yet people!  Of course, my kids, AND JOSH, loved her to death, and I will admit, it was fun at times to have her here!  Thank you Michael and Brooke for letting us get our dog fix for awhile!

7th Anniversary

Alright, I know it's a little late, but I wanted to do a shout out to my sweet hubby Josh who really came through for our anniversary this year!   Being a Monday and he had to work, we met for dinner and he brought me these beautiful roses!  I love fresh flowers and it has been awhile since I've gotten some.  After dinner, we both went and got pedicures together, which was much needed for both of us!  Happy 7th Anniversary honey!  I love you!

Photo Class

Just a couple random pics from my photo class when we were doing a project with shutter speed!

OUCH!!!!!

Wow, I can't believe it's been so long since my last post!  Well, let's see, a lot has happened from sick kids, my brother in law, Jamison getting home from his mission, to me breaking my finger.  Take my word for it....it hurts!  I slammed my pointer finger on my right hand in the car door.   Again....it hurts...do not attempt it!  This is not my xray, but pretty much feels like what I did.  My sweet hubby took an xray at his office.  And I've had to wear this stupid metal thing to keep me from hitting it against things.  What makes it even worse is it's my writing hand, everything hand.  And my kids only felt bad for me for about 5 minutes.  Well, enough complaining.  We are all doing well, healthy and happy!  

Power Ranch Park

Sorry it's been so long since I've blogged.  Life has been so crazy these last few weeks.  So, today we decided to just drop everything and go over to the Power Ranch Park.  I highly recommend this park because the kids love it!  We fed the ducks, ate lunch, and played on the playground.  It felt good to just get out and enjoy the sunshine.  I can't believe how hot it is already.  Ohhhhh...I'm not ready for the heat yet!  

She's....

She's a little it of sunshine,

She's a smile to light your days,

she will steal your heart and keep it

with her warm endearing ways,

she's your precious little daughter

with a sweetness from above

who will fill your years with laughter

and your lives with lots of love.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Hope everyone had a wonderful new year's eve and new year's day!  I can't believe it's 2009 and we have already been out of school for six months.  These last few months have flown by for us with moving and all.  New Year's eve, I got to spend a few hours at our stake YM/YW event, now that I am a leader in YW.  I was actually enjoyed myself surrounded by crazy teens.  All I can say is I am glad that I am no longer a teen and in that stage of life.  I enjoyed my teens, but man they have so much temptation and peer pressure.  Anyway, after that my parents and Michael & Brooke came over and we played games and ate desserts til 2:30 this morning.  I can't remember the last time I stayed up that late.  Taeler even stayed up til 12:30! I couldn't believe it!  I really had fun just being around family.  Thank you everyone for such a fun night to bring the new year in!!!!!
