Good Guys Car Show

We had fun at the Good Guys Car show this weekend. Haili wanted to look inside almost every car! She will definitely be daddy's car buddy. Her favorite was a small roadster no bigger then she was, plus she saw the 10 year old boy driving away in it. They had a lot of gorgeous cars, and some were for sale.
... and a weather update for phoenix, yes it is still 85 degrees this weekend. I am loving it!

One Lucky Dude~

A friend sent me this and I thought it was pretty cool!
Someone was definitely watching over this guy that day.

NASCAR 08' PIR

A true nascar fan
Final turn Jimmy Johnson wins the race!


#88 Earnhart Jr :)











NASCAR was so much fun! We saw some pretty interesting people, the whole place was packed. We sat on turn four in the middle. No one sat in front or on the sides of us so we had lots of room to lounge for 5 hours. We got there around 10 am and left around 7 pm. They had all kinds of games and vendors outside. When we left there was no more merchandise left, they sold
out of everything! The weather was crazy, we get there and it was hot. Then they delayed the race for about 30 min because of rain. The sun came out again but the wind picked up and blew debris all over the track. There were some great wrecks, and some good racing. Jimmy Johnson won the race, I knew he would from the beginning, but I was wanting Earnhardt Jr. to at least
place in the top 5. He placed 6th. Lame. But we had a ton of fun!!

Arizona State Fair

This year we went to the fair. I didn't realize but the fair is so expensive! luckily we went on a day they had free parking, and free admission. Plus we packed our own lunches, so we spent about 40.00 and we only did two rides. oh and we got snow cones, they were buy one get one free. The kids had a lot of fun! They were a little to small to go on most rides anyways, so maybe next year they will be able to do more.

Oh, and just a weather update for this wonderful state. I had to put on a sweater for the first time!! Yea, it was 75 degrees out today. Hahahaha. But don't worry it will be up to 80 this weekend :)

Happy Halloween!!

We had so much fun this Halloween! It was a warm 94 degrees here in Phoenix Arizona. Trevor and I are running around in shorts and t-shirts and I am LOVING the weather. I am definitely a desert rat!
Haili loved all the candy and being a princess, well she couldn't decide on a witch or princess so we combined the two. So she became a Halloween Princess. Cody didn't really care much what he wore but he seemed to like his Race Car outfit and as long as he got candy he would wear anything. Haili had a halloween party at her preschool and then we went to walgreens where we got their pictures taken. Cody just woke up from his nap that is why he is not smiling in this picture, but every picture I took he would have the biggest grin! Then we all went out to dinner and of course the best thing to eat around here is mexican so we filled up on quesadillas, tamales, and chips and salsa. Then we were off to the mall. We did a little shopping while we were there, but the kids loved going from store to store and we got to the mall pretty early so they were giving handfuls of candy at a time. After an hour of that we then went to our ward chili party and ate some chili and corn bread. By the time we got home I didn't think we would have any trick or treaters but luckily I was prepared and bought a couple of bags. Haili had fun answering the door and giving out candy the rest of the night.



We also carved our pumpkins that week. Cody would not go anywhere near the guts but Haili didn't mind at all, she did pretty good with her pumpkin.



and we had some fun making Halloween cookies, but I think they ate more frosting then cookie.

Congratulations!!

 
Trevor Passed and is now CFI certified. We have been going CRAZY for the last month but he finally did it!! I knew he would, it just took a little longer then we wanted it to. Now he is off to become an instructor and he will get his CFII. This was a huge hurdle for Trevor and he did it! We spent the day mostly sleeping today, but we went out to Claim Jumper to celebrate. Tomorrow he is off getting his resume out to different companies. I have to admit he is the most handsome pilot I have ever seen! 

9/11

This is my new uniform which I got to wear starting today! They are sooooo much better then the white shirts. Working at the airport has been pretty fun and entertaining! Some days can be pretty bad, but then someone does something really stupid and it just makes me laugh. I enjoy everyone I work with which makes going to work a little bit easier. Our whole family really loves being around airports, plus every time Haili and Cody come to my work they get a bunch of candy. 

Dedicated to the men, women and children who lost their lives;
all those who sacrificed their lives;
And to all the Heroes that responded to the emergency

Labor Day Weekend

    

Well, now it's starting to cool off a bit. So this weekend we decided to get out of the 110 degree heat and go somewhere cool. We drove up to Payson,AZ. We had so much fun, and it is absolutely beautiful up there!  I had no idea what was in store for us, I never thought the kids would be able to climb boulders 3 and 4 times their height! But they were serious troopers.  

Tucked away in a tiny valley surrounded by a forest of pine trees,Tonto Natural Bridge State Park has been in the making for thousands of years. It is believed to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world. The bridge stands 183 feet high over a 400-foot long tunnel that measures 150 feet at its widest point.

We also went to my boss' house and had a BBQ. Cody and Haili loved their dogs!! 

They were twice the size of them, but I was surprised the dogs were really gentle with the kids. The weather couldn't have been more perfect too.
