Fun times!

 We were able to take Hannah on her first trip to Show Low this weekend. :)

 We had a fun time.... canoeing,

 swimming, 

 hanging out,

  laughing,

playing in the rain, 

and having time to talk.

 We had a great time and Grandma and Grandpa were thrilled to have us... now that's a "win-win." :)

We've been....

 Learning how to ride a skateboard,

 building legos,

 learning how to sit in a bumbo,

 and a jumperoo.

 We've been hosting play dates, and

 friend's birthday parties,

 and dressing up....

a lot!  

This summer continues to be fabulous!! Even though it is hot here in Phoenix we are finding much to be thankful for and enjoying our time together! :) 

"Staycation" day 5

 Today's adventure was the ZOO!  We pet some goats....

 viewed other animals...

 climbed a bit....

 complained about the heat and humidity...

 and got wet at the splash pad. :)  

The boys growling like animals inside their cave. :)  All in all the week was very successful!  We had a fabulous time with each other and are sad to have daddy going back to work tomorrow!  Wish me luck with the kiddos since they've been entertained every moment of every day this past week. :)  I'll need a lot of energy and some creative ideas, lol! 

"Staycation" Day 4

  I love vacation time.  No lunches to pack, no places to rush off too, full of cuddles and chats... it's the best!  

The boys were fascinated by the fish and animals at..... The Rainforest Cafe.  

We enjoyed our lunch at the Rainforest Cafe!  We got to sit right by large elephants that moved, fish swimming and sights and sounds galore.  The boys loved the thunderstorm that went off every 20 minutes too!  Caeden said multiple times what a great time he was having. :) 

After lunch, walking and shopping at Arizona Mills we all took a quick nap.  Oh how I love naps!

Jay is off this weekend from leading worship so we decided to go to the new Gateway Scottsdale Church in downtown Scottsdale tonight for church.  It was fun to check out and the area surounding where they meet was gorgeous.  The kids played and we even saw a guy propose....she said yes. :)

Enjoying our staycation and sending a whole lot of LOVE from our home to yours!
