Swim and Pizza Party

On Thursday afternoon, Scott and I took the kids to my sweet friend, Arrione's, house. We went swimming and had pizza and cupcakes. The kids had lots of fun and I loved catching up with Arrione and holding her sweet baby.

Here is a pic of her oldest, Max, who is Kyler's age.....

More for the Scrapbook

This first layout is another one from the 4th....And this layout documents one of my many addictions, Facebook. Each of the little conversation bubbles has one of my profile updates from the past few months. Facebook makes sort of a ice journal of what I have been up too. I am liking this page!

July 4th scrapbook layouts

I am enjoying this lazy day!!! The house is almost clean and the laundry is almost done! Yay!!! Now I just have a few hours of ironing to work on. But that can wait until tonight when Scott is at work. Instead, I am working on some more layouts for the family scrapbook!!! I can't believe I am already scrapbooking pictures that I took yesterday!

Having a fun mexican dinner tonight! Yum! My fave!!! Have a great Sunday!

Fourth of July Fun!!!!

Happy Fourth of July!!! I have lots of pictures for you today!!!! We had a fantastic day with the kids. Everyone had so much fun and I can't remember any real tantrums. Now that is a huge success!!! We spent most of our day st Sunsplash, a water park in Mesa. The kids LOVED it!!!

Here are some super cute red, white and blue butts waiting for the park to open....
And some even cuter faces....

I didn't have a matching swim suit : ( So I am hiding behind the cute kids!

Kyler and Danika instantly loved the little kiddie water slide. Makenzie was scared at first. But later, after I put my camera away!!!) she went down and realized she loved it!

Here is Danika....

And Kyler....

Laynee didn't venture down the slides. But she did impress me during the day. She really wasn't scared of the water like she was at the begining of the summer.

I love that Scott is just a big kid!!!

Playing under the waterfall...

Love this one of Makenzie....

We brought our own lunch. And Scott found a tent that was full of empty picnic tables AND an air conditioner!!!! How cool is that?!!! So we are having our picnic lunch in our private pavilion....

I still need to teach Scott some table manners...

After lunch Scott took my camera to the car so it wouldn't get wet or stolen. Then we went on the Lazy River. The kids loved this!!! It was fun!!! Then they went to the kid splash area and had a blast. And finally, we spent time in the wave pool. Kyler and Danika were little dare devils and wanted to be as deep at possible!!! I stuck in the shallow area with my Kenzie and Laynee!



Here are the kids when we got home.....

We had a cool dinner. We made hot dogs and beans and fruit salad and had a picnic in the toy room. The kids thought it was the most fantastic thing ever. It was adorable! And during dinner I taught the kids a little about the American flag. If I can teach a 5 year old about American history- I think I will be ok with those high schoolers!!!

The kids got to have flag cookies and ice cream for dessert. Yum!

We had sooo much fun!!! And when the kids were going to bed, Danika, the fiestiest of them all, came up and hugged me and said "Thank You, Mommy." Awwww!!! Now I am even more excited to take them to Disneyland!!!! Whoo Hoo!!!!

Memorial Day Scrapping

I had some quiet time this morning!!! Yay!!! Scott and his mom took the kids to their summer movie and I stayed home and scrapbooked!!! I am so lucky to have a hubby who gives me "time off" from my mommy duties from time to time! So here are a couple layouts with pics that I took on Memorial Day. I was so excited to find a 4th of July Digi kit for just $1 that I couldn't wait until tomorrow to use it!!!

Splish Slashing at the Zoo

On Wednesday, Scott and I took the kids down to Tucson to go to the zoo. Because of the rain, it was "only" 96 degrees that day. So this will be the last time the kids get to go to the zoo until October!!! (We have a membership and go often!)

It was still rather warm (and humid!) so we had the kids play in the water area to cool down. It turned out that all they wanted to do was play in the water!!!! We have sprinklers and a hose at home. Why is it so much more fun at the zoo?!

I was warm too. So I got in on the fun. Scott was a party pooper. : ( He said that he has a problem with getting wet. Whatever!!!!

Now we saw real turtles, but for reasons unknown to me, this fake one was more exciting!

My Fishies!!!

I told you we went swimming again. So, of course, we have more pictures!

Love this one of Kenzie floating on her back!

And most of the time at the pool was spent riding on the Daddy Boat!!!!

They LOVE the pool so much! We may even take them back today!

More Scrapbook Pages

Here are a couple more pages that I made this week for the scrapbooks!

We are taking the kids swimming again today. It's the only thing you can do when it is 107 degrees outside!!!
