Broken Foot, Lime Green Cast, and a LOT of crying...

For those who haven't heard, Briggy broke his foot jumping off of play equipment at the mall. He went to the doctor, where we found it was broken right on top. He is currently laying on the couch drinking his sippy all day.

Camping!

So our family went camping last weekend at Parker canyon lake. It was my first time camping and I think I did pretty well. I was concerned about the bathroom facilities and I survived. We had hot dogs made smores, went walking by the lake, geocashed and had muffins and hot chocolate. Other than our noisy neighbors and brig moving around the tent all night it was a success. Maybe i'll do it again next year!

Jack's field trip!

Catch up!

So it has been a while since I have posted. The begining of Sep Jack started playing soccer for the first time, he hasn't quite figured out how to get in there and score but he is sure cute running around the field, I think he will get it eventually. Jack also went to Apple Annie's on his 1st field trip in kindergarten, Nathan was able to go with him. My good friend Cassie and her son Jace came to see us in mid sep. We hadn't seen each other in 5 years. It was so good to see her and she is still the same wonderful funny friend I remember. I love when you see friends you haven't see in forever and you just go back to where you left off, like nothing has changed. Thanks Cassie for visiting us, we loved having you and Jace in our home.

Scottsdale!

We went to Scottsdale last weekend and stayed in a resort while my parents watched the kids. Thursday we dropped the kids off and headed over to Maggiono's for dinner. It was so good! Then we went to our hotel and changed and headed over to scottsdale fashion square (love that place.) After that we went back to our hotel and hit the pool, it was a little chilly but not too bad. The next morning we went to get bagels and then went to see Nathan's grandpa and grandma . After that we met up with one of his old mission companions and his wife for lunch at a little mexican cafe in mesa. Went ice skating after about 20 years of not doing it, I didn't fall but I was a little slow, Nathan did pretty good since he used to rollerblade. That evening we went back to our hotel and changed again and went to Marcellas kitchen for some Margerita pizza that was delish. Went and got sprinkles cupcakes and went shopping a little more then back to our hotel. Next morning had a nasty breakfast and then test drove cars. Then headed over to the parents to see the kids, had a fun get together with my brothers and sisters and there kids at my parents, swam and ate yummy food. It was a nice end to a relaxing weekend! Thanks mom and dad, we love you!

First day of School!

Emma is 10!

I can't believe my Emma is 10 today, it seems like yesterday I was in labor with her for 15 hours. She is such a smart, beautiful, girl. I am so thankful she was sent to me and for her energy and love she brings to our family. Happy birthday sweet girl!
