Jer and I took the girls to the ZOO on Saturday and we had a blast!  Samara loves animals especially the monkey's.  They have a super fun new water park area there and she got soaking wet and didn't want to leave.  Good for hot summer days.  The first weekend of every month you can get into the zoo free if you show them your Bank of America card.  Fun Times!

Girls Getaway!!

I just got back from one of the most fun 3 days ever!!  We had a girls getaway that started Wed. afternoon and ended Saturday afternoon.  Mom, Ams, Me, Kara, Shelly, Brendz, Necia, baby Lanie, and baby Kyralynn were there.  We stayed at the Scottsdale Links resort and had a scrapbookin good time.  We bought WAY to much food at Costco and holed up in our rooms laughing, snacking, watching Emma, Star Dust, You've got mail, The wedding singer, and Austrailla while scrapbooking our fantastic lives away.  Our first night on the town we ate at Oreganos and it was delish!  We all had a little bite of everything ordered.  You know we are close when we share our food!! Ha Ha!  After Oregano's we went shopping and I wast so excited  to find some cute new clothes at Nordstrom's Rack.  Mom found me this cute green and white striped shirt I love.  Thanks Mom!!  She spoiled us all rotten the whole time.  This whole getaway was Mom inspired.  She lost 40 pounds since October 08 and this was a fun way to CELEBRATE!!  We decided it is going to be an annual thing!!  Thanks to all our hubbies and mother-in-laws who watched our little ones.  You ROCK!!  We ate at Cheescake factory on Friday night where we each ordered a little slice of heaven to go  so we had something to help us stay up all night scrapping.  It was sooooo tasty!! Necia was so cute when we got there, she was like a little kid in a candy shop.  Now we all know her favorite dessert.  After dinner we went shopping at an outdoor mall called Kierland Kommons.  Amber found a sassy dress and Mom spoiled us and bought us all matching skirts at Ann Taylor Loft.  We just had such a good time getting closer, and the spirit was so sweet the entire time. I am so greatfull for such sisters and sisters-in-laws and for such an amazing Mom who is such a peacemaker and makes us all fell so  good all the time.  Can't wait till next year!!  Amber and I tied with 22 and a half pages scrapped.  I'll beat you next year.

You Gotta love the road bike!

CHECK OUT THOSE BIKES!
THE FAN CLUB!!!
THEY ALL LEFT WITH SOME BLING!

 Don't they look HOT in those STRETCHY PANTS!  I can't believe the things our bodies will do.  I am amazed by anyone who can ride a bike for 74 miles.  The tour de Phoenix was this past Saturday and Jer, my Dad, Josh my bro-in-law, and my brother Chet woke up at 5:00 am, scarfed down some bananas, cliff bars and other fueling foods and headed for the starting line.  They all did awesome and finished with Silver medals, oh but Chet is a stud and got Gold! Go Chet!  I have to admit I was impressed with Jer, especially because he trained so hard to get ready for the race.  Ha Ha, the first time he rode his bike in several months was to work and home the Monday before the race.  He did Fantastic along with everyone else!!  Enjoy the Pics!



Baby Bums!


Mom's jacuzzi bathtub when you add a little shampoo becomes the BEST place ever for three little two yearolds.  Samara, Ethan, and Marissa were so silly and cute when they took a bath together.  Bubbles are super Fun, but  it was even more fun laughing and snapping pictures of the chaos  with  my sisters, Mom and Granna.  I can't wait to blow the bum shot up and hang it in my bathroom.  Good Times!

Mickey Hair!!


So I had to write this down before I forgot to.  Yesterday as I was getting the girls ready for church Jer thought Kate's hair would look so cute in two little piggy tails up on top of her head, so I did them and put two cute little bows in.   Samara came in the room and said "Mom! Kate- Mickey hair!!  We all laughed really hard and thought it was so cute.  She then said she wanted Mickey hair also.  I guess she has been watching to much Mickey mouse clubhouse.  Ha Ha  She is talking so much and everyday Jer and I crack up at some of the  things she says and the way she is learning to put words together.
