YUCK!

Well, after a summer of the quads sitting with dead batteries, Tanner decided it was time to start riding again. Since it sat in the same place on the patio for months...this ginormous black widow had turned it into his home! I was watching Tanner through the kitchen window and could see something dangling off the tail end as he rode. The thing was hanging on for life as he sped around the yard a few times while I tried to get him to get stop.


And yes, those are HUMONGOUS weeds everywhere! It's SO fun to have just dirt in your backyard isn't it!
(what age do they finally get over the cheese face?!?)

I can drive again!

It looks like I ran over some sort of large rock, and it got my tire right in the inner side at the edge and pinched it good! Good enough to totally split?! the tire! I knew I heard something....

Well, he spare is on and we're good to go for now at least. Tomorrow is a crazy day, I have to get done everything I should have gotten done today, plus some.....so, it looks as though a trip to the tire place isn't going to happen anytime soon!

I have the worst luck

At least when it comes to TIRES!!!

I was just driving home from the gym, and I heard/felt something and I thought, what was that! I hadn't seen anything in the road, and I was only going 30 mph in my neighborhood. When I pulled into the garage and got out, and heard the ZZZZZZZZZZZ..... Air was gushing out. I couldn't find anything stuck in the tire!??! I wanted to go back out and see if there was anything in the road, but, I now had no way to get there! My sister is headed over right now so I can use her car to go pick up Kamryn from gymnastics! What luck......

April, Shireen and Lori, does this bring back memories or WHAT! Good times....

Preschool!


Another one grows up too fast! I can't believe I'm down to one kid for 4 whole hours a week! Haha. Kamryn has been talking about starting school all summer long. Her and Tanner will have little discussions about it and Tanner makes sure to end by telling her that his is better cause he gets to go all day! Does he like school better than home?!?! Probably so...there's boys at school, and only girls around here! Anyway, Kamryn had a great first day of school!

CALIFORNIA...beach time!

Payton seemed to love the beach more than the older ones even. She couldn't get enough of water or the sand crabs....she would help dig them up and put them in and out of the bucket too. Tanner went boogie boarding a few times with dad, but I only got one not so good picture of it!! He did a good job and stayed on the board the whole way in(most of the time!) Anyway, here's some pics from the week....






CALIFORNIA...disneyland!

Since my parents moved to Gilbert two years ago, we hardly get to go to California anymore...So we were looking forward to this beach trip all summer long! We decided to take a day to go to Disneyland...it was a long day, but the kids loved it of course. We'd ask Kamryn what she wanted to do next, and she'd say, "a rollertoaster!" She was PERFECT height to go on almost everything there. I couldn't believe they both came out of the tower of terror laughing and wanting to go again! (we left Payton at the beach with my family, thanks again mom!)
