Az week 1....

I got a ride to Phoenix with the Adams family on Saturday the 9th of July. We left on friday and stopped in Vegas for the night and made the rest of the trip  on Saturday. At one of our many stops  Callie told some ladies that she had 2 moms so Jeri and I were getting some looks. lol  

When we got to Mesa, Jake came and picked us up and we to Josh and Caleb’s house to go swim with all the kids. Rachel and her family was there and Ike and Steph came over. The kids had so much fun. The kids have really fun Uncles!

Jake and I left that evening to head to Sj!

That first week in Sj I thought it would be a good time to potty train Ronnee because I could have my mom and Rachel to help me. Well we tried and tried and my mom decided that Ronnee is appositionally  defiant!!! I through in the towel when she walked over to me, looked at me, peed on the carpet then smiled and walked away! Yeah it was either the death of me or her so I decided to stop. My mom told me that she is my Jacob Riley! Wish me luck!!   But seriously potty training has been my hardest moment in parenting yet. I hope she realizes that I am meaner and more stubborn and I will win now that we are home!

But other then that crap…. the kids had so much fun playing. Ronnee followed Ivy where ever she went and would go with anyone that would take her to see the horses or swing or take her for a ride on the ranger!

Ronnee learned how yummy pop pop (popsicles) are and she was so cute sitting on the porch swing eating her pop pop!

A lot of the times if you couldn’t find the kids they were playing with the chickens. Ronnee was learning how to chase them! I might need to get a chicken for her to play with… never mind cancel that thought she has her dogs and that is plenty for me!

Ronnee loves loves loves horses! She could sit outside and watch them all day.

Mama horse died a few days later and baby horse went to his new home. So we were left with just watching Looselip(sam’s horse) and Monroe (jake’s horse) But she still loved when they would come to the house to see her!

That first weekend we were there the kids had a swim meet in the morning  sorry no pics but the kids did really good!  And that afternoon was the SRP/TEP party! The girls had a blast dancing with the band!

That first week there was really fun and went by really fast!  The next week was the 24th celebration!

AZ bound!

I will be taking up residence in AZ for the next month! We are trying to save some money and so when Jeri offered to take us with her to AZ with her Tyler decided to send us. It will save us money on a couple plane tickets and food along with a few other things. So Tyler felt that Ronnee and I should go. I hope that we all can survive. WE are excited to be there to help my mom but not sure how I feel about being away from Tyler and my house! Oh and I am not sure how Ronnee is going to handle it. I just hope her and I are still friends when we get home!

I will be away from blogging for a while but when I return I will have a ton to blog about! 24th celebration, swim meet for the winters kids, family reunion, and the most important.... MICKEY'S WEDDING!

Summer fun!

I am still watching a couple little boys and every once in a while my friends little girl and it is finally been nice and hot so most our day is spent outside swimming and playing in the sprinkler.  The kids have so much fun and take really good naps!

  I love that she wore this suit when she was like 5 months old! Lol best part about her being small!

Random pic of Ronnee playing the Michael Jackson Kinect game!

4th of July with the Adams!

We spent the 4th of July supporting our economy while the kids swam at home with the men! Well first we made pancakes and buttermilk syrup and then the girls went shopping. When we returned from shopping we went to the adams for dinner and then walked up to the top of the hill to watch the fireworks! WE are so lucky that we have friends that we can hang out with literally the whole day and all had fun!

While waiting for the fireworks to start we leg wrestled, running races and tyler beat up Hannah! lol   We had so much fun! GOD BLESS AMERICA!
