Riding Horses/Grandma in Alaska Visist!!
This past weekend and week have been so much fun. Joshua's mom came from Alaska to visit and we had such a wonderful time with her. We went to Colleen's friends beautiful home in Camp Verde(outside of Sedona) and rode their horses. Now the girls have never been on a horse before so it was a neat experience for them. I told them that they had to wear jeans and shoes which is unusual for us since they LOVE flip flops and shorts but it all worked out. So the nerdy mom that I am had Brooklyn where her shirt:) Cute for the occasion huh?
We are having such a wonderful time with Colleen being here and wanted to say THANK YOU so much for everything and for the time you were able to spend with us and especially being such an amazing grandma to Mariyah and Brooklyn. I have lots more pictures I will post this week of Grandma being here and more fun things we did.


Brooklyn's loved this dog and kept on giving him funny faces.

SUNS GAME!!!!
Joshua & I just got back from the Suns game and it was incredible! I have been a suns fan for many years now and have never sat as close as we did tonight. We sat in row 14 and it was the BEST!!! We really felt like we were apart of the game being so close. We also had access VIP to the Lexus Club which was so amazing. Joshua's friend gave us the tickets:). We rode the light rail for the first time and seriously it's the best way to travel to the game. The game was a nail biter to the last second and I swear I about peed my pants and just about lost my voice. Find out if the suns won or lost by looking at my last picture:):):):):):).

Spring Break Fun!!

Mariyah had spring break this week and the girls and I did something fun everyday:). Even though it was spring break we pretty much do something fun everyday. My camera broke and I am so sad because I am obsessed with taking pictures:(. So when we went to the zoo on Monday I didn't have a camera....waahh....we went to the museum...no camera, Wednesday we went swimming...no camera , Thursday we went to the park and the only day I had a camera was on Friday when we went to Makutu's Island. I borrowed my grandparents camera because we have gone to the other's places many times but haven't been to Makutu's Island for a long time so I wanted to take pictures.

Mariyah was all over the place and she was having a blast crawling through the tree house, going down the slide and meeting lots of new friends. Brooklyn had fun too but after a while she was tired but once she ate lunch she was ready to play again. I was all over the place crawling around with the girls and my friends were there with their girls too. We had our playgroup at Makutu's Island and if you haven't gone and you live in Arizona you should take your kids.


Fun Slide...I even went down it

Can you see Brooklyn:)

Ry loved going across the bridge

Ry was all over having fun in the tree house

Brookie wasn't too sure about the elephant. It was really dark in here but the flash brightened the picture up.

Field Day
Mariyah had field day with her class this past week and she loved it. It brought back great memories of when I was in Elementary School and the parachute and all the fun activities. Here is Mariyah, her class and some of her friends from class. What was sweet is that Brooklyn was able to participate in some of the activities and that was fun too. Mariyah was so excited because they said if you have a hat you can wear it to school for field day so she wore one of my hats.

Hoola Hoop Fun

Frisbee Time

Brookie loved the Frisbee

Look at Ry pull the rope..Her side won:)

Ball Time

Mariyah loved the Rope

Brookie loved the Rope too

Kicking the Ball and keeping it in the middle

Do you remember these?

The Parachute was by far my favorite and most the kids as well.

This game cracked me up because the kids had to balance the water on the spoon and then walk across to put it in the cup...most the kids lost their water before they got to the cup:). Mariyah did really well though.
