Cali

Colton's friend bailed on their already planned/paid for trip to Cali so I got to go as his back up friend! We spent two days at D-land & one day at Magic Mountain. Camille's family was having their family vacation at the same time so we got to meet up with them a few times & one night just the 3 siblings got to hang. It was an awesome trip! We laughed a ton. Went to Santa Monica pier/beach for the first time. Stayed in a super shady hotel. Peer pressuring me to go on water rides (thank goodness for ponchos), Rode the freaky tower of doom & full throttle & some other super scary new rides at the mountain. Ate some really good food & desserts. One of the most fun & relaxing vacations I've ever had. Thank you a million times to my mom & Gordon for watching the kids & supporting me in going! And for Chimp for taking me & making me do stuff I don't like to do - NO!

I came home to this sweet note from Mya.

More Lunch

The first time I came to help out at Mya's class this year I stayed after & had lunch with her. It was cute to see her with her friends & enjoy some first grade conversation!

Fair 2013

The girls & I on our way for our annual trip to the county fair! 

We had a lot of fun but we got rained out big time! I mean pouring, take shelter, soaking wet rained out.

We spent some time drying off in the car & got some ponchos. We still rode all the rides we wanted to & made sand birds. We met up with Camille after in Camp Verde & they stayed with us for the remainder of the weekend. We went to the Temple visitor center on Sunday which we hadn't been in a long time. It was nice to be there with the kids. 

First Day of School

Car Car started Tiny Sprouts Pre-School the Thursday after Mya started school. This is right after I picked her up. She is LOVING pre-school & has made two good friends - Caiden (her boyfriend) & Harley.

Mya's first day of first grade! She was SO excited to go...the first day. She loves recess & getting to eat lunch at school but she thinks it's waaay too long.

Weekend Before School

The weekend before school started Camille & her family came down to play! I know the guys played golf & I can't really remember what we did BUT the kids had been begging to ride these animals at the mall again so we gave in. That night Mya lost her second top tooth - pulled it out herself which is starting to become the norm. She wanted to keep it & has it in a little box...

12 years

For our 12th anniversary we went to see Joseph at the ABT, got a Thai massage & then to Kneaders for dinner. A few weeks before we went to Pinetop/Showlow/Grants, NM for a little get-a-way. We went to an awesome spa, saw a couple movies, ate out, had some awesome Mexican food in NM (all the rumors are true - the best Mexican food/green chili EVER). It was fun to have all of Gordon's family together for a day. It was a nice break & we always enjoy some one on one time :)
