Clean up clean up

My mini van needed a good cleaning so after naps the kids and I went out to get the work done before dinner. It took way longer than I thought it would but they had lots of fun and it was a perfect day for the job. The car was able to be in the shade but when the kids got chilly it was plenty warm in the sun to dry off quickly!

Emma thought it was fun to get into the bucket

Tyler's favorite job was squirting things. I was plenty wet and so was the road and trash can by the time we were done.
Poor Reagan woke up in the middle of the fun so when she got out there they instantly got her WET. At first she didn't think it was too fun but she quickly joined in the fun.

the constitution Fair

Saturday night we went to the constitution Fair in Gilbert. It was tons of fun. they had lots of booths for Joe and tons of fair games for the kids to win lots of candy! Here is Tyler and Emma at the Liberty bell!

Reagan stared forever i had to go pick her up. It really was a lady so when she moved Reagan would just stare at her. I really hope she didn't have to stand there all night!
Here is Tyler after making his hat.
Emma won at the cupcake walk. Tyler gave up after the second song.
Reagan hanging out and playing peek - a - boo! I love that belly!!!!!!!

I thought she was napping

So a few weekends ago I thought Reagan was asleep and Jaxon was playing in Tyler's room. All of a sudden Jaxon starts screaming so Emily went to go get him and Emily says, "I thought you said Jaxon was in with Tyler." Well For the last 30 minutes he was not in with Tyler he was in my room with Reagan giving her anything he could find. The bottom two shelves filled with books was empty and two drawers with craft supplies were empty too!

Here is Reagan with all of her new treasures!
Later Joe found this in our bathroom!! At least someone had fun!!
Here they are eating hot dogs and Cheetos! They were dipping both in the ketchup!

Why can't everyone be honest?

On Saturday the kids were all napping and Joe was playing a video game after all his hard yard work, so I decided to get out of the house for a little bit. I went to a few stores and when I got back into Joe's car to drive home I noticed something was wrong with the hood. When I got out to look this is what I found. The store just told me to call the police and they just took a report it was a hit and run and nothing we could do about it. It is an older car and who knows how long it is going to last so we didn't want to put to much money into it. So Joe went to the "Pick a Part" and fixed it himself for only $50!!!!!

Here is Joe and his little helper, Reagan, cheering him on.
Reagan just chillin with Joe's water and her baby doll!
Emma decided it looked fun to get in some pictures so she sat still long enough for me to take some pictures and went back inside to sneak some more cookies.
There it is all done. It just needs a good car wash and then it will be close to all better!

Caves at the zoo!

Emily talked me into going to the zoo today. So as soon as we got Tyler from school we headed over to the zoo for lunch and some water fun!

My little bathing beauty, Emma!
Jaxon didn't care for the water fall.
I just love this little girl she has the best belly in the history of little girls!
This squirrel would not leave us alone it tried to nibble on Reagan's Cheetos fingers! I accidentally dropped a whole cheese stick and it quickly grabbed it and ran off!
this is the best expression ever. This bird would not leave us alone! I will admit I was a bit scared of the ducks and squirrel.


Emily disobeying the signs and feeding the wild animal!
these 2 ducks just sat at her feet hoping she would drop something
Tyler was scared too so he sat on the table so he wouldn't get bit

Happy 5th Tyler!!!

September 4th was Tyler's 5th Birthday. He is such a wonderful kid and growing up way to fast. When I dropped him off at Kindergarten he said, "You don't need to walk me up I am not scared anymore." And out he jumped from my car. I teared up realizing how big he really is getting. He came home from school and said he can do the monkey bars without any help!

After school he invited Abe and Sam over to play

We went to Peter piper Pizza for dinner
Joe said he was watching Reagan and this is where I found her.
