Back in the game...

OK...I am back at it, and going to do better at keeping my posts current.  I have gotten L.A.Z.Y!!!  No more though...I am committed...so let's get to it!

Yesterday we hit the ASU game, and had the kiddos in tow as well.  It was fun but HOT!!!  We did some tailgating, football watching, and some good eating.  Unfortunately, I should of checked the camera before I took it, because I ended up with a dead battery.  :(  However, I was able to manage a few shots to remember the day.  Whew!

Now, if we would have only won?!

Mr. Joe

One of the joys of boys...BUGS!!!  Christian has caught his first bug...Mr. Joe.

 

 Collin helped build Mr. Joe a home.

 

Home sweet home...

We made sure to have the death talk, so we'll see how long he lives.

As of today, it is day 3, Mr. Joe is still kicking.

And the work pays off....

We have started the kids having jobs around here.  Well...I say kids, but really mean Christian.  (Cutter has no interest in money or working for it!)  So, Christian has become all about having/wanting things, so we decided he needed to earn his own money.  His job is feeding the dog, and he gets a quarter each day he does it.  He started off strong with what he wanted to save for, Hero Factory, and he finally saved enough!  Today was the day he got to spend that money!!!

Way to work hard Christian!!!

We got another one...

A bike rider, that is!!!

He was so determined, and really worked up a sweat!

GOOD JOB CHRISTIAN!!!

It's that time of year...

Hellllooooo...college football!!!

Collin is off at the game, so I made sure we had a yummy snack to watch ASU.

GO DEVILS!!!

(Sorry for the blurriness!  I was too lazy to get the camera, so my phone had to do!)

First day of School 2012

KINDERGARTEN

SECOND GRADE

No tears, and everyone was happy at the end of the day!

San Diego, Tucson, Vegas...where to go???

OH THE CHOICES???  We took it a little easy this summer, due to our move right before summer started.  We weren't sure if we would get our house rented, and just how things would pan out with the new house, so we put travel plans on hold.  WELL...Collin got antsy, and said we are outta here!  We had time for a last family hurrah...before school started!  WAHOO!!!  The only problem...we could not decide where to go.  The final destination was decided....

We headed back to Vegas!  I think Collin felt left out, since he did miss the last trip.  Anyhow, I did a quick search for pools and waterslides, and we ended up returning to the Excalibur!  It was perfect, and I think Cutter was in heaven with getting to have Krispy Kreme in the hotel AND doughnuts each morning!!!  We stayed an extra night, which is something we aren't used to doing, but it paid off!

The perfect view!

We had tons of pool time!

Oh, and some playtime!

"Danny, come play with us...forever & ever..."

We have a winner!

Did you know Iron Man smoked???

Awwww....my sweet family!

And that folks, was the last hurrah!!!

School starts on Monday!!!
