Jason's 7th Birthday

What an exciting day we had yesterday. In the morning we went to Amazing Jakes for Jason's Birthday party. He invited some of his buddies and they had a great time. Here are some of the pics of his funtastic day.

Bobbing for doughnuts??

Octoberfest

A few weeks ago we had family visiting and we went to Schneph's farm. We picked pumkins, watched the piggy races, and ate some good BBQ. It was actually a bit chilly for Arizona so we had to dig out jackets which is a rare. It was great to spend time with Scott's family.

Happy Anniversary

Scott and I have been married for eight glorious years now. Just a few weeks ago he suprised me with a dozen red roses and a trip to Las Vegas for just the two of us. He even arranged a sitter to watch the boys overnight. We went to the Luxor and splurged on a Jacuzzi Suite. We woke up when we wanted, ate when we wanted, ate what we wanted(no McDonald's) and spent 3 wonderful days on no particular schedule....aahh!!

Mud

One of the many camping trips we took this summer. On this occasion it had poured on us pretty good and left some tempting mud puddles for the kids.


Jeremy is that really you???


I see trouble coming......it started out as a little innocent play in the mud and quickly turned into official mud wrestling. Once they got started we just couldn't stop em. I know this is a time they will remember as fun where Mom and Dad didn't yell at them to not get dirty. After a quick hose off they were as good as new. Well almost....

Places to go...people to see....

We started our vacation in So. Ca. and went to Disneyland. Jeremy has not used a stroller since he was less than a year old, so of coarse we didn't bring one. We get there and he refused to walk so we had to rent one from Disney a well spent 10 bucks.

We were so hot from the humidity that we decided to take a nice long train ride. The lady sitting next to me, turns out she live in Gilbert so we had a nice little chat.

Ok so this one needs a little explanation... After Disneyland we headed up to Napa Valley to spend time with my family and do some site seeing. While at my sisters, their Uncle Charlie let them race around on two Jazzy's he had in storage. At first we couldn't believe our eyes when we say Jeremy driving the crazy thing but the more you watched it was hilarious! Cheap entertainment!!

visited San Francisco of coarse, just a wee bit chilly!!
A Day at Ocean Beach in Frisco (the water is much colder than Rocky Point as Jason soon discovered!!) We also hit Six Flags Marine World during our trip and this time I rented the stroller up front and guess what Jeremy refused to get in it this time, go figure. We had a wonderful time, not alot of rest, way too long of a car ride, but definately memories for us to cherish.

4th of July Fun!!

Potty Training

We just started to work on the whole Potty Training Thing with Jeremy. We have tried to get him excited about the process with Stickers, potty chart and Big boy pants. He has been sucessful 3 times already Yea!! Also some not so successful situations that I will spare you all the details!!!

I've been tagged- 6 quirky habits

My friend Amy tagged me so here it goes:

1. I too have to wash the dishes well before I load them in the dishwasher. I absolutely cannot stand if they come out with dried food particles on them, Yuck!!

2. I have to fluff/pat my pillow a certain way before I go to sleep on it at night.

3. I have to have the sheets and blankets over me to fall asleep except I like to have my feet out at the bottom (so they can breath or something)!! Notice a quirky sleep pattern happening here? Poor Scott....

4. I never eat cereal for breakfast in the morning, but i will eat it for dessert at night

5. I will not touch raw hamburger at all, I make Scott mix the meatloaf, press out the hamburger patties etc. I cannot stand when the hamburger gets all greasy on your hands and not even soap takes it off. I told my husband as a Nurse I have no problems touching a dead body, just keep the hamburger away!!!

6. ok, call this one a little paranoia I suppose, but I have been known to come home alone and go around the house and check in closets etc to make sure a burglar/predator isn't lurking. So if Scott's out of town and I call one of you, freaked out...you will know why! I wonder what Dr. Phil would have to say about this one.

Ok Susan/Greg; and Debbie Tag- now tell us your 6 quirky habits

Summer Fun

So what do we do when its a mere 109 degrees out? We live in our pool!!!

Fathers Day 08

Dressed in Sunday Best

Aunt Susan looking cute for the camera. Her and Greg came over to have Fathers Day dinner with us.

Relaxing in the Lazy Boy playing Ironman on his new Playstation 3. Don't strain yourself there Honey!!

Nothing like running through the sprinklers and having an Otterpop to cool you off.

Rare Moment

Thought this was too cute of Jeremy lying next to Jinxie, usually he is lying on top smothering her! And Yes, that is a pile of dog do-do in the photo for those of you who looked closely, Yikes!!!

Memorial Day 08

For Memorial Day we went camping with our friends Tracy, Joe, Cassie and Zack. We were up in Happy Jack. At first it was a bit chilly (actually snow on the ground!) then it warmed up later. We rode our quads, the boys got super dirty and we had loads of fun in the process.

"Whats for breakfast Mom?" Jeremy says "Wat, Wats" his word for Waffles!
