Trophy Time!!!

Both of our boys played on the summer league for basketball this season.  They both loved their coaches and got to make some new friends.  Their new trophies are cool!

Coach Mark bought ice cream cones for the whole team after the last game!  Yum!

Good job Wyatt!

Wyatt loves all of his trophies!  He lines them up and sets them out for display on his dresser.  Cute!

Great season boys!!!

Coach Rey is soooo tall!!!

Great season boys!!!

Coach Rey was an awesome coach!!!

 

Happy 9th B-Day Brody!!!

Today my first born baby boy is 9 years old!!!  I can't believe it!!!  We're so blessed to have such an AMAZING son!  He's had several birthday celebrations:  Castles and Coasters with friends, family party at my mom and dads, and then we celebrated again on his real birthday!

Here he is as happy as can be on his quad (age 1).  :)

Here he is now!  He wanted Papa to make his homemade chicken noodle soup for the family party.  He loved swimming with his cousins too! 

Vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup and homemade choc chip cookie crumbles on top!  Yummy!

Today we went to Jump Street for his real birthday celebration!  Here he is getting ready to ride the bull!  Hold on!

He loved walking up these huge pillars and then swinging down!

Brody & Nolan BFF's!

Connor and silly Wyatt...BFF's!

Mimi brought Brody his favorite curly mac and cheese from CPK for dinner tonight.  She even brought him a brownie for dessert! Happy 9th Birthday Brody!  We love you!!!  xoxo

Summer Basketball is on!!!

Both boys are in a summer basketball league.  Running them both to practice on different nights and games on different night has been a little crazy.  They both have their best buds on their teams!

Go Gators!!!

Watching the 5/6 year old team is a crack up!

Good shot Wyatt!!!  He's been scoring a few points per game!

Wy with his best friend Connor.  :)

Go Brody!

Brody has a signature low dribble when he gets ready to shoot...it's so cute!

Grandma and Papa come to every game!  So cool!

 

Moon Valley High School 20 Year Reunion!!!

I can't believe that we have been out of high school for 20 years!!!!  That makes me feel really old!!!  Over the weekend we attended our 20 year high school reunion at the Hotel Palomar in downtown Phoenix.  It was a great night filled with friends, dancing, and a few cocktails.  We spent the night and then headed out with our close friends for brunch the next morning.  Fun times!

Can you believe we have been together for 22 years?!!!

I'm still very good friends with all of these lovely ladies. xo

This is one of my BFFs Wendy who now lives in CO.

Gotta love the photo booth!

We love our great friends Sandi and Lucas!

My husband is the BEST!  It touched my heart this morning when he took his new blender outside to the backyard to make his protein smoothie...that way he wouldn't wake up me and the boys.  Isn't that sweet?! xo

This was taken the morning after the reunion.  We had brunch at the Windsor...yum!  Love these guys!  Some I've known since 7th grade!  Great weekend!  :)

Happy 75th B-Day Papa!!!

My dad turned 75 years old on Monday!  He does not act 75!  He's so active and engaged with all of the grandchildren.  We are all so blessed to have such a sweet and caring dad/Papa.  Everyone looks up to him.  Brody said, "You are the wisest man I know" in Papa's birthday card.  Awe...We celebrated that evening with all of the family.

Happy 75th B-Day Papa!!!

Make a wish!

Wyatt painted this flag for Papa's birthday.  He's so proud of my dad because he was an "army guy".  We gave him $$$ to shop for things he needs for our Maui trip!  We can't wait!!!

 

Happy Father's Day!!!

We had a wonderful Father's Day celebration this past weekend.  We loved honoring Jerry and my dad during church on Sunday.  Afterwards we headed over to my mom and dad's for lunch and swimming. 

Jerry had two days of celebration for Father's Day!  Saturday we went to his favorite restaurant CPK for lunch.  He loves his new Blendtec blender and wallet with the boys picture on it.  He is an AMAZING father!  :)

The boys love their Papa so much!  We got him a shaving bag with the grandkids' picture on it.  The boys are blessed to have two strong male role models for them.  xxoo

Brody's 9th Birthday!

This year we decided to celebrate Brody's 9th birthday a little early.  He chose to pick his three best friends to celebrate with him instead of having a larger group.  Brody and his buddies had a fantastic night at Castles N Coasters!  We loved spoiling them!

We picked the boys up at 5:00 and headed to Taco Bell (Brody's choice for dinner).  :)

We bought the boys an all you can play card and hit the arcade until the sun went down.

The boys had so much fun!

Tyler was the air hockey champ!

Oh yeah!

Go Brodes!

Bumper boats ROCK!

The fabulous four!

Going on the Magic Carpet ride!

The Patriot was their favorite roller coaster!

All geared up for the rope obstacle course.  We could see them well with the neon necklaces and bracelets.

Fun times!

Zip lining was fun too!

After Castles N Coasters we headed to Sonic for dessert!  Happy 9th Birthday Brody!!!

Brody bought himself a sweet new hat with the money he got from Nolan.  :)

Brody LOVES these books!!!  I've NEVER seen him read so much!  Awesome gift Tyler!

Wyatt got him a new basketball and cool frame!  Brody is currently playing on a summer basketball team. 

These boys had so much fun together!  Brody is so lucky to have such AMAZING friends!!!
