I can't wait until Breaking Dawn comes out !!!!!

Tomorrow a bunch of Girls are going to Barnes and Noble to go to a Breaking Dawn Party !!! It's going to be tons of fun. We are staying until 12am to get our books !!!

We also decided to make tee shirts with references to the books to wear. Of course I'm not very creative, so I called my very creative SIL Chris in Vegas to make a Tee Shirt up for me.

This is how they turned out !!!!!

 

This one is my favorite, I wish I remembered to cut the extra Transfer paper off before ironing it on. OH WELL

 

Thanks Chris again for the Pictures, They came out so good !!!!

We decided to do our Family Vacation early this year since I'm pregnant. I didn't want to go with the kids to Disneyland when I'm 6 months pregnant.

We went to Disneyland for 3 Days, a Day at the Beach, and a Day at Legoland ( Lame O Land)

We first hit the Beach :

OHHH our good friends in St. George came with us too !!!! They have 3 kids. Treyson who is 4 1/2, Crue 2, and Macey 3 months. The kids loved playing with each other

Thanks Hammons for the Fun Trip !!!!!

We decided to do a Picnic with Sandwiches and each on the sand, Not a good idea with kids, but it was a fun experience !!!!

Digging to China

Running with Dad. BRRRR Cold water !!!!

Fireworks !!!! except we had really bad seats and couldn't see them over the trees !!!!

 

Then we were off to Legoland AKA Lame O Land

Legoland had tons of cool things to see, but the rides were LAME !!!! And everything took way too long.

Thank goodness they had a play area for the little ones. Crue, Mason, Macey, Caden, Haley and I stayed here the whole time with the kids.

CHOO CHOO

Driving the Fire Truck

ROAR !!!!

ROAR !!!!

VIVA LAS VEGAS !!!!!

 

 

 

Overall we had a Fun trip !!!! It was so nice to go with another family. I wish Caden was a little bit braver at Disneyland, and wouldn't cry on every ride . Hopefully in a couple more years he will grow out of it.

This Vacation was a BLAST !!!! Tons of Memories with good Friends !!!!!

Thanks Again Hammons !!!!! We already Miss you guys !!!!!

Having Caden and Andi now is Great !!!! They play so good with each other.

This afternoon they were getting kind of bored of playing with toys so I decided to bust out the Arts and Craft book. Caden was never interested in it before because I had to do all the cutting and putting together. But since Andi is here, Andi Cuts everything out and Caden tapes it together. They were busy all afternoon long making different Crafts.

Here is a picture of them with their masks on.

 

Andi is a Cat, and Caden is a Raccoon.

 

This is a picture of them taking a Poop like a Cat and a Raccoon.

I'm not joking they were playing around and Andi was telling Caden this is how Cat's Poop and Caden hunched down and said well this is how Racoon's poop too. Why are kids so fascinated with pooping ????

After nap they did more Crafts, and Andi taught Caden how to use the Scissors and he started cutting out things too.

Andi also had a little mistake by not putting her hair in a Pony Tail and Accidently snipped off some hair, OOPS. I told Andi that's our new rule, She has to put her hair in a pony tail before using scissors.

I'm so happy Caden and Andi are having such a fun time making memories with each other.

 

Here are some pictures of the Caves we looked at on Saturday with the Family.

I had to take these off the Internet because you can't take pictures inside.

These Caves are not that old, the two guys who discovered them went to U of A back in the early 70's and discovered them in the late 70's early 80's and kept it a secret for years. They opened up the caves with tour guides in 1999.

The other awesome part about these caves are they are Alive and still growing, There are actually Two big Rooms, we didn't go into the other room because the Bat have their babies and they re-open it during the Winter.

COOL STUFF !!!!

The kids loved it, Caden called it the Bat Cave. Andi thought it was so cool, and she loved the " Cave Bacon" ( I don't have a picture of it, but it's so cool looking, it seriously looks like Bacon hanging down off the rock.)

If you are ever in Tucson You need to check this place out.

AMAZING !!!!

This is 60 Feet Tall, you can see the guy at the bottom of the cave in the Orange suit on.

CRAZY !!!!

Actually before we went to the Caves we went down to Tombstone, since the tours were all booked up until the afternoon, and Tombstone is only 15 min. away.

I totally forgot to get my camera out :(

But my mom had a couple cute shots of the kids playing around.

Mason loved the people riding on the horses.

Tombstone is a cool little town. It has so much history and cool stories. My Brother Jared was with us and he has never heard of Billy the Kid, Wyatt Earp,Doc Holliday and all those cool cowboy stories Or even the O.K. Corral.

What ever happened to The WILD WEST HISTORY ???? Why don't they teach it anymore in schools????

I told Jared that they use to have shoot outs all the time in the Middle of the Streets. If they had a problem they would take it outside in the middle of everything.

Crazy Stories !!!!

Well as soon as my mom gets home I'll have her send me over the pictures.

I'm inviting everyone to come down to Tucson and check out some cool things here in town !!!!

 

 

A couple of days ago I was talking to my Sister Melanie about things going on at home, and I decided that Andi her daughter should get a well deserved Vacation at Auntie Melissa's house here in Tucson. I was going to drive up to Vegas Yesterday and go pick up Andi, but my parents decided to come down instead and bring Andi with them. WHOO HOO !!!! Saves me a 6 hour trip with my two boys in the backseat trying to win over my attention and fighting over what movie they want to watch. Plus I'm excited that my parents are actually coming to visit me. They haven't been down since I first moved to Tucson. They have been quite busy at home.

I hope the weather clears up a little so I can take my parents to Tombstone and the Kurtchner Caves. Those two spots are my favorite places to visit when we have visitors. I would go to the Zoo also except it's so Darn hot and Humid.

Mason is really excited for Papa !!!! He has been asking every 10 min. " Is papa coming ???"  Caden cant wait to see Andi. They are Two peas in a pod when they are together.

I will post pictures and hopefully our Trip to Tombstone in a couple of days.

Sorry about the Pictures on the 4th of July, I forgot my Camera. I hate when that happens. :(

 

 

Yesterday I went in for my Doctors Visit and have some Blood work done, and when I was signing in the Lady at the desk told me that effective July 1st they were no longer taking my Insurance company. WHAT !!!!! I started welling up in tears and began to ask them how could they do this without any warnings. They didn't even bother to call me up the day before to tell me this HORRIBLE news. I then began explaining to them that I'm still new in this town and have no idea who else to go to for a new OBGYN. All of my friends go to this Group of Doctors. Of course they apologized for the inconvenience and I walked out in tears down my face. ( I think it was more of the Hormones setting in also ). I drove back to Lee's work to pick up the boys, Lee was confused on why I was back so early and concerned because he could tell by my voice I was crying. He thought I got into a Car accident. I WISH !!!! Lee could not believe it either, but he told me there are probably really good doctors around that someone could refer me to.

SO the search is on for a new OBGYN. I called one of my other Friends who had a baby a year ago to ask who her doctor was. She told me that she loves her doctor and the Staff. ( cant find that often, you usually  find really good doctors and horrible staff) I'm going to give a phone call next week to see if I can get an appointment. The only bad thing is, They are all Women. I've never had a Women Doctor before. I heard that Women OBGYN's are a little bit more insensitive and do not have any sympathy.

OH And another thing that happened yesterday too, I took Caden back to the Doctors because he was complaining about his throat being sore again. ( almost a two weeks ago, he had a ear infection and strep throat, which he passed on to all of us except for Mason) Caden has Strep throat AGAIN !!!!! The Doctor was really nice and told us if anyone else gets it to just call him up and he will give us Medicine also. ( Too bad I can't take it)

I'm praying no one else gets strep, and that we can all stay healthy !!!!

Tonight we are going to the Baseball Game, they are also going to have Fireworks after, that will be tons of fun !!!! I will post pictures and stories of that.

Happy 4th of July to everyone, Be Safe !!!! And light some fireworks off for me !!!!! ( since Tucson or should I say the Whole State of Arizona does not allow any type of Fireworks at all, even sparklers. My children are going to be deprived !!!!! )
