4th of July Celebration

We went to the City of Maricopa the BIG! celebration and fireworks! It was a blast, the kids had a great time playing in the water and running wild for a couple hours. As long as there's water.. my kids are happy :)

~~ Love between a brother and his sister ~~

James and April woke up this morning as soon as the light shone in their room and heading out for the pool. After splashing around for almost an hour it was time for breakfast. So we hung out on the porch sharing some muffins and a bottle of orange juice! What a way to start the day... :)

Goldfield Ghost Town with the kids :)

So we decided we needed something new to do with the kids today so we headed out east to a ghost town. And actually it was really cool! There were awesome mountain views, panning for gold, a saloon, a train ride... a little warm but tons of fun :) Everyone had a great time and we can't wait to go back in November for the horse rides and cowboy shoot out!

James Ivan..... my little man!

James was so not happy about me taking pictures of him (hence all the frowns!) but I really needed an good pictures of him at 3 years old. And I think we accomplished our goal! No laughing pictures, no happy smiles, just the forces ones got him to fake, but still the cutest little boy in the world! At least I'll remember his silly little personality from his actions I caught :)

Fathers Day 2008 ~~

We had a great dinner for Father's Day this year at Macayo's in Tempe. My mom and dad and my sister and her husband Mike all came and we hung out with the kids ofcourse :) Too bad Calli wasn't with us, she was with her real dad so I didn't get any pictures of her. But I definitely got some great ones of Grandma and Grandpa with the grandkids...


I Love Daddy!

Cami and Matt... umm I mean Mark?...

Yes, yes I completely embarrassed myself this night... I called Dad Matt all night until 5 minutes before we left Cami let me know it was Mark, wow; what a retard I was. Oh well... I'll never forget Mark now :) But what a beautiful family. 5 GIRLS!! Can you imagine?! But Cami made it look easy :) She's a great mom!

**Fun at Tempe Town Beach Park**

My mom, my sister and I took a day off to take the kids to play in the water.. as you can see it was a big hit! The kids loved it and had so much fun. It was great to have the chance to cool off and relax without sweating to death! I can't wait to go back again!
