Monsoon!

The biggest Monsoon of the year!

This is the park next to our home

Navy loves wearing her rain boots!

This little peanut loved playing in the water with her brothers and friends

Later this afternoon Navy & I had a court appearance to officially change her name from Bentley Ruby to Navy Estelle. This felt so good finally making it official!

Crew + Mommy Date

our view from our amazing seats

couldn't leave home without his glove

I love this boy of mine. Lucky to be his momma!

The 9th inning we moved down right by the dugout. Crew loved being so close to all the players and was SO into the game!

My friend Rachel gave us 2 tickets to the Diamondbacks game for Saturday night. Since Wyatt had to work Saturday and comes home exhausted I decided to take my little Crew on a date. We had such a good time together. Crew was so into the game, asking me questions about the players, their names, how old they were, etc. He wanted to know how old he has to be to play in the MLB. I think he's interested :) I kept asking Crew if he was ready to go and he never wanted to. He said he wanted to wait until it's "really over." We had a great night together and I think he thoroughly enjoyed his one on one time with his mom. I sure did! I love this boy and all the fun he brings to our family.

Monsoon fun

After a crazy monsoon we had last week the park behind our house was filled with water. The boys thought it'd be fun to get their boogy boards out and have some fun. Soon enough other boys from our neighborhood were there enjoying some fun too. Have I told you how amazing our neighborhood is yet?? Seriously BOY heaven! There are so many kids, and most boys. Crew and Hudson love it! And there is always something going on...it's amazing!

Visitors!

Cousins reunited!

Birthday celebration for Nicole at FROST

I really really miss living close to them :(

I'm glad I get to live seriously 3 streets away from Sarah

Out for our Saturday without kids...LAST CHANCE??? Yes please!

A trip to AZ wouldn't be complete without Bahama Bucks!

We loved having my mom, Nicole, Tori and Joe out visiting us in Arizona. My mom and sisters helped me with a lot of projects I wanted to get done with my house, we did A LOT of shopping and just hanging out with the kids. All of the kids were just so content with staying home and playing with each other since they hadn't seen each other in awhile. We really miss living close to all our cousins. Crew and Hudson both have said to me that they love living in Arizona but they just wish they lived by their cousins. These kids truly are the best of friends and I love that! They are all going to have such a special relationship since all my sisters and I are so close. Please come visit again soon!!

Fossil Springs Fail

love these boys with all my heart

The Saturday after we finally got our swagger wagon we decided to take it on a little day road trip up to Fossil Springs in Strawberry, AZ.  I never realized how pretty of a drive it is up through Payson. So green with millions of pine trees. When we got to the location we thought the hike to fossil springs started at we were turned away and re-routed to a different entrance. It took us another hour at least to get to the other entrance only to get turned away again! The ranger said that the spring was already at full capacity and that we would have to wait 2 hours for them to let more cars in. At this point the kids were so done being in the car so we decided to just start heading back home. We were so bummed! Wyatt has been wanting to take us here forever! We stopped at Crystal Creek on the way back home and literally as we were parking it starting storming with crazy thunder and lightening. So we let the kids swim in the water for about 20 minutes before it got really bad. They loved it even though it wasn't Fossil Springs. On the way home we stopped at the Outlets in Anthem to make the drive worth it even more. I love Saturdays with my favorite people!!

Moving in...

Getting organized....Navy's closet

the boys closet

pure chaos during the big moving day

first thing hung up in my house from my dear friends Tiffany and Sachia. I had to hang it where I would see it everyday and I truly cherish this and the memories we had in California.

August 1st was our "official" move in day. Since our pods weren't going to be delivered until the 2nd I decided to just take everything from Wyatt's parents house over and start organizing it. I also lined all the cabinets and pantry with non slip liners and did a grocery store run. It was actually nice having most of our clothes organized and put away before all of our big furniture was moved in. We are absolutely loving our house and all of the space we have. It's AMAZING!

Summer fun in AZ

We had a playdate with some new friends from church: Tate, Tanner and Ivie at the Mesquite Groves Aquatic Center. The boys couldn't get enough of the waterslides!

 MONSOONS!!!

One of my favorite things about living in Arizona are all the crazy monsoons! The kids think they're pretty cool too and love playing outside in the rain and puddles.

I took the boys on a "mommy-son date" to see Turbo while Papa stayed home with Navy. It was such a cute little movie.

Playdate with Stetson and Reddick. Navy was in LOVE!

Silly Navy!

We met Tate, Tanner & Ivie at the movies to see The Croods and played a little after!

Move to Arizona

the amazing view of the Gilbert Temple from our front yard

Our new home.

We moved to Arizona on July 5th after we stayed at the Beach House for a week. Wyatt was out selling alarms in Texas while me and the boys packed up our whole house and moved almost everything into our pods. I had to get over to Arizona to get the boys registered for school and to find a house for us to move into. For about 3 weeks we stayed at Wyatt's parents house until we found something that was just right for our family.

 I finally stumbled upon honestly "the perfect house" for us. It has a pool, 5 bedrooms and a huge loft for all the kids toys and they even have their own TV with their Wii hooked up. It couldn't have worked out any better. Our landlord is amazing...LDS and so accommodating! Did I mention our house is BRAND NEW? I finally got the kids registered and am finally starting to feel like we have some sort of routine again. YAY!!!

Easter 2013

We love playing at the park with our cousins

Aunt Diane and Aunt Sheri came up from Tucson to see the kids and we ended up eating lunch at Tia Rosa's

We finally got to meet cute little Vera. Josh and Brooke's new addition!

We even got some pool time in!

Nana helped the boys dye Easter eggs

Our Easter best

Wyatt had a job interview on Monday April 1, so we decided to leave the Thursday before to spend Easter in Arizona with his family. We got to catch up with friends and family, and of course eat at our favorite places in AZ.
