Oh my word! The trouble that I have been having trying to write this post!!!

In case I haven't mentioned it lately, I HATE Toshiba...at least my computer. 

Anyway, we haven't been doing much lately, just going to storytime on Mondays and Fridays, then we go play at the Splash Park.  This past Friday, we took a picnic. The kids thought that was pretty fun.

Owen cooling Bailey off.















Arizona must be tiring because Kenley and Owen just drop whereever they are.










Owen was throwing a fit about something and then he got really quiet, I looked down and he was sound asleep.
I am still trying to come up with a name for my sewing.  Poop Baby just doesn't cut it. But here are the things that I have sewn lately.





The blog is being weird with pictures so this will have to do.

Ok, it's been a little bit

Since I last posted Grandma Horton and Dylan came for a visit.  We made signs...


Holding signs at the airport


We had some cooler (by that I mean 98-100 degrees), so we took advantage and rode bikes.

Owen is excited that he has mastered his big boy bike now.
Tata has cut Owen's hair since he was 1 month old, he needed a haircut, so Corey and I tried. Owen was NOT happy about it.  He screamed and cried the whole time.

He ended up with some funky wings and long spots all over.

I had to take him somewhere.  He was such a good boy. He sat perfectly still while she buzzed his hair.

We went to story time at Barnes and Noble then looked in some shops before going to the Pop Jet fountains. Bailey loved Charming Charlie.


Owen (and the girls) love that Dylan is here.  He rarely gets a minute to himself once he wakes up:) Owen liked that he could catch a ride.
While Grandma was here we went to the Children's Museum in Mesa. Here the girls were trying on Lucy's dress in the Peanuts display.  The kids had so much fun at this museum. I am sure we will be going back.
And finally, Bailey lost another tooth.  Poor girl is having a rough time eating with all the holes and loose teeth.

The girls are officially enrolled in school. They will be going to the Benjamin Franklin Charter school.  Corey and I are really excited about this.  It is supposed to be a really great school. Their first day will be August 10th.  There are some really strict dress codes so I am not sure how the girls will like it.  We still aren't sure about preschool for Owen.  We may just wait a year and have him go next year.

The weekend

Friday after story time we hung out at home.  I think Kenley was tired...



The after dinner we went to a celebration thingy in Downtown Mesa.  There were bounce houses and slides,

and there were water slides, Bailey and Kenley went down the slides, they got to the bottom and sort of stopped, so they stepped into the water. For some reason, Owen flew down the slide, turned sideways and would have gone head first in the water if Corey hadn't been at the bottom to stop him.  Needless to say, he wanted no part of the water slides after that.






The girls loved it, Bailey more the Kenley, and would have stayed there forever.  It was still 106 so, we could have, even though it was dark.  But Corey was tired, so we bribed them with ice cream sundaes at home.  Saturday, Corey went to work for a bit and the kids and I went to the gym.  We got home and we all just hung out for a bit. Corey napped in the chair and this is how I found Owen...

Then in the evening we went to see Cars 2.  It was a long movie and there were lots of potty breaks but the kids liked it.  Owen loved it.  He clapped and cheered.  It was really cute.  Sunday we went to church.  We sent all the kids to Children's Church.  We left them all screaming for us, but when we picked them up, they all said they had a good time and the teachers said they only cried for a couple of minutes.  We liked church.  It was huge, which is different for us, but the music was way better then the last church.  We will see, we will probably go back.

We are heading to Tumbleweed Park this evening for the celebration there and fireworks.

I wish I could think of fun titles...

So, the last couple of days we didn't do anything.  Corey got home Wednesday night at 12:30, then left for work again at 5:45 in the morning so the kids didn't get to see him until Thursday at about 10am when Carey let him come home for a couple of hours.  They were so excited to wrestle around with daddy again.

I did make these the days we stayed home.  One is a beach bag and the other is a little pouch I take to the gym to put my license, keys, and phone in.



Owen dressed himself the other day.  He really wants to wear the Buzz flip flop but we lost the other one.  We actually didn't plan to have this one, but Papa is shipping everything to us:)
