Ditch Day
I was craving some good ole quality time with my kids (mostly J since she's away from me during the day) so I woke her up and said "No school! We're going to the zoo!" I packed some lunches and we headed out. They both had an awesome time seeing all of the animals and I loved up on them and soaked it all in.
The petting zoo cracked me up! A deer would not, I mean ever, let go of Jaycie's dress. By the time we got out of there, it was drenched in deer spit. She wasn't a fan at all, but didn't want to lose her cool. Lucas tried to ride anything that wasn't too much taller than him. He had no fear!
Watching the penguins get fed
The log ride is pretty new to the zoo and we only had enough cash for one of us to go (plus Lucas wasn't tall enough). Jaycie contemplated going for hours, then finally took the plunge and loved it!
Lunch break
Anniversary Dinner
For our 9th anniversary, which fell on a weekday (and followed a super busy weekend), we decided to take the kids with us on a special date. We went to The Melting Pot and oh my was it delicious.
{ These were waiting for me on the table when we got there }
High School Reunion
Yes ten years have come and gone! Our reunion was last month and it was a blast. It was very well planned out and family friendly! Saturday afternoon was a picnic (that I helped put together) at Cactus Park (my hood). We had lots of great treats, a big slide for the kids, face painting, balloon animals and fun games to keep the kids happy. It was a bit of a busy weekend for us to say the least, but I had a great time seeing old friends and meeting their little ones!
Amber, Annette, Summer and Me. This was us looking "fierce." Not sure I know that face..
Parker, Me and Lucas on the slide. It was such a hit!
Lindsay, Alecia and Me at Macayo's that night.
Garett, Summer, Me and David. We were all supposed to go to Sadie Hawkins one year, but I got grounded (I was kind of a bad kid). We always had the best time together and were quite the foursome!
Pumpkin Carving with Cresaps'
A pumpkin for each of us! It took a while :)
My beautiful Indian princess
My little scallywag pirate! I didn't plan the whole pirates and Indians thing, it just happened.
Mermaid Shayne loving on Lucas ♥

Costume #2 - Tom Cruise from Risky Business. We got sick of his pirate costume (he'd already worn it twice) so we put on his boxer briefs, a church shirt and some white socks for his next reveal.
Costume #2 for Jaycie - ballerina
The cute "Ghosts in the Graveyard" cake that my Mom made
A couple pics from 4th of July: We went up to Prescott for the weekend with the fam and ate caramel corn, played farts in a bottle and enjoyed an amazing display of fireworks. I was kinda sad that he didn't want to snuggle me - he was perfectly content in his Dad's lap making noises and apparently sticking out his tongue.
While Stacie, Caitlin and Amelia were here we had the chance to go to the Cardinals Training Camp at NAU. We left REALLY early and it poured the entire day, but it was a perfect day trip for all of us. The Dettmars caravan-ed with us and we had a great time.

Caitlin and Lucas
Caitlin woke up early to do Jaycie's hair for the 1st day of school. Jaycie was SO proud of her waves!
