My Weekness....

"Can we have a sleepover?"

It all started when Jonathan had a friend over to spend the night.  We wondered where they should sleep so we thought we'd pull out the memory foam we had and lay some sheets and blankets on it and they could sleep on the floor in the game room and watch TV.  Well it was quite a success and now they ask almost every night if they can have a 'sleepover'!  Not necessarily with friends but just with each other!  Even Jojo has gotten into the act!  he thinks it is hilarious to sleep on the floor!  

Slave labor

The time has come....for our oldest child to learn to mow the lawn!  One of those days you wait for but think will never come.  And as much as Randy dreads mowing the lawn- Jonathan was THRILLED to learn a "man's job"!  He even put on his Michigan shirt so he could match his dad!  Slave labor....gotta love it!

GRAND CANYON

In early July, Randy had a road trip and I had cheer camp so Grandma G and Papa G GRACIOUSLY offered to watch the boys while we were gone!  What an incredibly BRAVE thing to do!  They took the boys to the Grand Canyon and the horse races and kept busy playing and exploring the animals around the house!  The boys had a great time.....when I walked in the door- Jonathan did not stop talking about all their adventures!  When I asked if they wore out Grandma and Papa - they said, "NO- they wore US out!"  Not sure that was the case but none-the-less, a great time was had by all!

Suns Camp

Phoenix Suns Summer Basketball Camp

The boys had a GREAT time at the Suns camp this year!  Jake loved visiting the snack bar on a daily basis to get his Skittles!  And Jonathan actually won the Coaches Award this year for his hard work!  Thanks to Uncle Jay and Chris Beard....they were able to attend this camp once again!  

FOURTH OF JULY

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!

Despite Randy's crazy work schedule and road trips- we were able to continue our traditional 4th of July trip to Prescott!  We drove up just for the day but had a great time with ice cream, great weather and a little time with Grandma and Papa and lots of fireworks!

We spent the afternoon at the house playing and relaxing outside followed by a BBQ!

The highlight of the day was Papa's new BB gun.  With their safety goggles on- they learned to shoot!  They actually did quite well and were shooting soda cans with pretty good accuracy!

We then went on a walk to the "creek", however with the dry weather- there was no water.  But we had a fun little hike none-the-less!

Jonathan is growing up before our eyes......

And Jake is as goofy as ever!

Probably the last time I'll get to "play dress up" with these boys!  Jake was not too thrilled about dressing like his brothers.  So I had to get a picture of the 3 of them in these great 4th of July outfits!

O I WISH I WERE AN OSCAR MAYER WIENER...

July 4th....stopped at Safeway to get my morning java and low and behold....the WIENER MOBILE was in the parking lot!  It's not everyday that you see a wiener mobile so we had to jump out and take a picture.
