I know my last few posts haven't had pictures but I still wanted to post about our little trip the kids and I took. My friend Juliette has been living in Mesa all summer while her husband is doing an internship. So we decided to go visit her and spend the night. When we arrived we went to the Dinosaur Museum in Mesa and Drew really enjoyed that and then went to a sandwich shop called Sweet Cakes which was really good. Drew's new passion is swimming. He swam 3 times in less then 24 hours. And almost drown only once. We also broke a few world records while we were there. First the amount of hours Elle is awake in the middle of the night. My little princess woke up at 11pm and then didn't go back to sleep until 2am. And then the amount of time she slept in the car. She slept almost the entire way home so about 2 hours. I know some people are thinking "big deal your baby slept in the car". But it is a huge deal for her. From the day we brought her home from the hospital she hated the car. And recently she maxed out at 30 minutes. So I guess the key for road trips is keep her up for 3 hours in the midddle of the night. Anyway, thanks Juliette for having us we had a great time. Now I am ready for you to come back.

A fun memory game!
1. As a comment on this post, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you know me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you.

And if you're just a "lurker" that I don't know very well, please use this as an excuse to comment and say hello!

Fired

Fired! That's right. Drew fired me today when I told him to go get in the car and he went to the wrong side. He said "you're Fired Mommy!" Like Justin said "who does he think he is Donald Trump?" What a wise guy! Too bad because I quit!! At least some days I feel like it.

I spy with my little eye something.........

YELLOW!!! Yes that is right, and it was my teeth! That is what Drew said anyway. I am highy offended my 4 yrs old would call my teeth yellow. I guess I better do something about that. Add it to my list of many things that need to be done about my body. Thanks Drew for the reality check!

Happy 4th

We headed to Colorado to visit Justin's Grandma for the 4th of July. The weather was beautiful and there was lots of good food. So needles to say I was in heaven and I think everyone else had a good time too. There is lots of open space for the kids to run around and play. Drew and Justin slept in tents and Drew really enjoyed that.







This was Drew helping his Daddy light the fireworks and then running for his life.

I love any reason to get together with friends and family so I am glad we had a long weekend compliments of Gore. Happy Birthday America!!
