The big guys were just as excited as the little ones!!

On Saturday, October 17, 2009 We went to the Baja races with Brenden's brother, BJ and his amazing family. We had the funnest time!!! It was Awesome!!

Reilly's favorite parts were: When the the unlimited trophy truck rolled right in front of him, it was scary and awesome!!! He also loved the crashes and watching # 8 our new favorite, Leroy Loerwald, after talking to him awhile and him giving the kids pictures and signing autographs. We found out that he was also LDS. We all thought that was awesome!!

Charlee's favorite parts were: getting free shirts with her cute cousin Jaycee!! She also liked seeing all the crashes and the jumps. Charlee also likes #8. Had a fun time getting free stickers and posters of everyone. She loves the BAJA races, she can't wait to go to the one in March for her Birthday!!

We had a amazing time with BJ, Joni, Jaycee, Coda and Keate. Always a fun time!!!!

Before, During, After

So a few days ago, Reilly came to me and said "cut my hair it is driving me crazy." Ok, so I have to admit, it was really long. I got out the clippers and stated cutting his hair, and the pieces were about 3 inches long. Bad Mommy for letting it get so long. Well we had a little bit of fun while cutting it.

SUCH A HANDSOME BOY

His hair is getting really dark, kind of like Brenden's.

MOHAWK FUN

LOOK HOW HIGH HIS MOHAWK IS, THAT IS HOW LONG HIS HAIR WAS.

WHAT IS SILLY BOY I HAVE!!

FORGOT TO TAKE THE BEFORE PICTURE, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE DURING PICTURES IT WAS PRETTY LONG.

1st day of school

Charlee and Reilly excited about their 1st day of school at 'The Odyssey Prepatory Academy'. They had a wonderful day and were very excited about it.
Reilly has two of his buds in his class. He loves his teacher, she has a nice voice.

Charlee is already doing crafts in class, so she loves it.

I am so excited for them.

Happy 4th of July

We had a wonderful 4 th of July.

We spent the day as a family, playing x-box, card games, base-ball. When it was dark (almost 9 pm) we drove to Luke Air force Base and watched their Awesome Fireworks show. We also saw Litchfield Parks fireworks in the background. Then on the way home we stopped and saw the fireworks off of Estrella Parkway at the new Baseball Park. Lots of beautiful fireworks shows.

On June 15-16-17, 2009, Thanks to Aunt Robyn. Reilly was able to got o Scout Day Camp with 2 of his cousins, Coda and Wyatt!!!!. He had the most amazing time. The first thing he told me about it afterwards was "can I go again".

Day 1 was amazing, I had the opportunity to tag along and experience a little of the excitement. They started off with orientation, which got them all riled up and excited. then we went to swimming where they separated them into different levels. Of course due to swim team, Reilly was the top level "Blue". Then they went to a craft class and painted their flag and ship, all the boys had input on this and got to be creative. Then they went to games and more games and rock climbing and obstacle course. What fun they had!! They practiced their skit for the next night. They went to BB gun training and Archery training. They had so much fun.

They night closing activity was all together and helped bond the boys and renewed their excitement for the next day.

I then brought Coda and Wyatt home with Reilly and I. We didn't get home until 11:30 pm and the boys were starving, so we popped pop corn and goodies and watched a movie until 1 am. Off to bed they went still wired (except Reilly who had fallen asleep).

Charlee was with her Aunt Joni and cousin Jaycee having a wonderful time. Uncle BJ took them to the lake.

I'll have to have Reilly help me write up day 2 and 3, but I know it was great!!!

Charlee and Reilly had 2 swim meets this week.

Thursday, June 11, 2009 at the Buckeye Pool and Saturday, June 13 at the YMCA in Goodyear.

They both did an Awesome job. We are keeping track of their time so they can compete against their time.

But I must say they did awesome!!

On Saturday Charlee won 1st place in the butterfly and was faster by 3 seconds and Reilly received 1st place in Backstroke and was faster by 1 second.

Sadly, I had a camera and computer malfunction and lost all my pictures that were being downloaded. LESSON LEARNED, never let it automatically delete.

Scout lake trip - Tuesday, June 9, 2009

Reilly's scout trip to the lake was very fun!!! I went along as an added adult. Reilly and his boys scout brothers used water scopes to view the underwater life and lots of cool rocks through it. Then the boys skipped rocks and had lots of fun playing in the water. It was also a beautiful day, very cool for a June afternoon. We then talked about conservation and picked up trash, great service day. We had a yummy lunch and off we went home. What a great day!!!
