Mommy and Me Field trip "Animal Farm"

This is Will's first field trip! We went to a free "Animal Farm" ...it wasn't much of one though! It was way too hot but the kids had fun. Will was a tired little boy when it was over. And little Bailey...I just want to eat her up!

Uncle Jayson comes to town!

A few weeks ago my brother Jayson came to visit! He travels around a lot for his job and Phoenix was his stop this time! We had dinner and hung out watching silly reality shows! Thanks for coming big bro!

Playing at the Park...at night!

Let's face it..we live in Arizona, the only time we go to the park in the summer is at night!

Pose for the Camera!

 

I was looking through old pictures and found these Easter ones we never posted. Other than Christmas this is the only time we ask them to dress up and pose for the camera, why cant they be more excited?! Kevin and I  did not plan the matching yellow shirts...we just look like 2 big yellow Easter eggs!

Trip to Fresno

For Labor Day weekend we took a trip to Fresno to take Amie's mom back home. On the way we were able to spend half a day at the beach near Santa Monica. It was great, we have not taken the kids to the beach for several years and they absolutely loved it. Kate wasn't too happy about the way the salt water tasted when it splashed in her mouth, but still said it was the "Best day of her life!!". The weather was perfect for the beach. We were glad my sister Theresa was able to meet us there and spend time with us as well. It was a short trip back to Fresno, but the kids had a blast with their cousins again, and we enjoyed seeing and spending time with friends and family that we have not seen since we moved.

Will's B-day...Hooray for #3

Will turned 3 on August 11th. Grandma Ensign was here visiting from California, and Grandpa Bob and Grandma Debbie came over for a little family party to celebrate. When we asked him what kind of cake he wanted he said a pink dinosaur cake....so that's exactly what he got...and he absolutely loved it. (GREAT!!!) I guess on the bright side it wasn't a pink Barbie cake that he wanted. Happy Birthday William.

 

Swimmin' at Grandma and Grandpa's

The kids love it when we are able to go swimming at my parents house. We don't get over there enough on days when they can actually swim, as it is usually on a Sunday. Here are some pictures from our last swim trip.

Back to School

Kaleb and Kate started back to school last Monday. Kaleb started 3rd grade with Mrs. Ebenholtz, and Kate started 1st grade with Ms. Neal. They both have great teachers and are very excited for the coming year. Kaleb had Ms. Neal for first grade as well and we loved her. 

After a hearty Pancake and Eggs breakfast, they were all set for the big day.
