29 and Feeling Great!

Last Friday I celebrated my 29th birthday. This is officially my last year of twenties! It's crazy how time goes by, I feel the same way I did at 18 or 20 or 25. As far as I'm concerned it's just a number right? :0 For my birthday I told Ben all I wanted was to go camping. We packed up and headed up to Sadona. My brother and sis-in-law came, my brother-in-law and sis-in-law and three of their kids came and my cute friend Tiff and her husband and two boys also came. We had a great time, filled with food, sweets, laughs and fun!! The next day we explored Slide Rock. Thanks for a wonderful birthday!!

My oh-so-cute family!!!

Makutu's Island

We heard of this place called Makutu's Island over in Chandler. It has a huge indoor tree house, tunnels and slides for kids and their parents to climb through. We met up with Tyson, Courtney and Colter there. The kids loved it!!

Several random entries!!

A couple weeks ago I wanted to get out of the heat. My cute mom and sister came with me and we took the kids up to Sadona. (My favorite place in AZ!) The kids loved playing in the water.

This cat lives in my mom's neighborhood. Kenadee loves it! Oreo is his name.

We went to the Zoo for the last free day in September. We met up with our friends the Arnolds. Kenadee and Maize are such great little friends! They loved the animals, the splash pad and of course their snowcones!

Kenadee and I have been trying to have some craft time during Bensons morning nap. We made masks, colored salt, and painted "catapillars" (egg cartons).

This little vacuum has been the best 50 cents I've ever spent! I found it at a garage sale and Benson loves it!

Amazing how much fun a plastic tub can be!

Ward Sock Hop

Our ward did a 50s Sock Hop recently. It was so fun to dress up and take the kids. We also took my sisters Maddie and Paige and two of my nieces, Sam and Kaylee. Everyone was dressed up! Benson and Kenadee were right at home on the dance floor!

Embarrassing Potty Training Moments

I thought when Kenadee had an accident at my sister-in-laws that was bad, but then she decided to have one at a new friends house but we couldn't stop there, we had to mark our territory in the mall food court...I thought that was the worst until yesterday when we were at Barnes & Noble. Kena starts this dance and as I go to grab her the wood floor around her feet starts to puddle. Seriously?!? I had to be resourceful so I used one of Bensons clean diapers (extra absorbent) to get the majority, baby wipes to clean the rest and a WetOne to disinfect. Please tell me all you moms out there that you have had similar experiences!!
