Fireworks

Stephen had to go to New Mexico yesterday for work so of course he comes home with tons of firecrackers, sparklers, snakes, smoke bombs, and lots of other junk. The girls loved the sparklers and snakes.

They love to wear Daddy's shoes

the socks just make it look so funny

Ethan is 10!

So I'm a really bad mom not blogging about this til almost a week later but here's pics from Ethan's big 10th b-day. When I picked him up from his mom he kept telling me how good it feels to be 10. Ethan picked Red Lobster for dinner and he ate ALL of his salmon and shrimp meal. Then we came home and had a poor excuse for a sword-cake (made by me). And it's supposed to be slightly odd-shaped because it's a sword from his WOW game. At least he loved it and it tasted good. Then he and Stephen set up their computers downstairs and played WOW all night. And by all night I mean til 4 am. Don't tell his mom!!! :) He kept saying all evening, "This is the best birthday ever!!" Ethan got money from Grandma Ricka, the WOW Trading card game with a bunch of cards and a new skateboard from us, a new shirt from his sisters and like a million WOW trading cards from Aunt Jana and her fam. He made out pretty well. And on Sunday his mom surprised him with going to his first ever D-Backs game against the Dodgers. (Yes, we were really sad we couldn't go) So the man is 10 now, show him some dang respect!

This morning Bailey woke up when Stephen got up for work. She was up a lot during the night cause Maddi kept her up so I told Stephen to let me put her back to sleep. He insisted that she wanted to get up for the day so I said fiiiiiiiiiiiiiine. So we went downstairs to eat some cereal. She kept saying she was cold so I helped her tuck up her legs into her t-shirt. I went over to the couch to work and 10 minutes later she hadn't moved so I kept calling her name. She wouldn't answer so I ran over there to see what was wrong and found her konked out in the chair.

After about 45 minutes her head started to fall so she layed across 2 chairs and slept for another half hour or so. Bailey is quite the artist. She's especially good at drawing eyes and circles. She's starting to draw people though!
Here's the girls in their cute new wally world dresses. That's right, 7 bucks

Bahama Bucks.....again

Yes we have earned a free one on our punch card just since we moved. I had to post a pic of Ethan since he didn't get to go last time. He got Dr. Pepper-not so good but he liked it!

Bahama Bucks

In case you didn't already know, we moved. We moved into our new house in Mesa a little over a week ago. We've been so busy with unpacking and cleaning and getting settled that we decided we needed to treat ourselves to some snow. My niece Makayla was staying the night with us so Stephen, me and all the girls went down to Bahama Bucks for some bahama rama mamas. In case you don't know it's the best shaved ice ever!! It's super finely shaved ice and a bahama rama mama has vanilla bean ice cream at the bottom and cream on the ice. They have a million flavors and there's one right near our house!
