Wet & Wild!

We met up with my friend Jessica and her boys at the Mesquite Public Pool yesterday.

It was lots of fun and was well worth the drive.

The only picture I got of both my boys! (It's hard to take pictures around water with out ruining your camera!) Both my boys love the water, they are such little fish!

Mason kept floating back up. It was really weird, and I'm sure the life guards were a little nervous. He cracks me up sometimes.

Noah kept trying to crawl out into the water. My arms definately got a good workout. He was squirming the whole time trying to get me to set him free!

I think he's going to take after his big brother Mason and will love to learn how to swim (obviously for a couple years!).

At the pool they had this HUGE "bucket" (located directly above Mason's head in this picture) every 30 secs. or so it would dump out water over the whole play area. In this video and picture is Mason's reaction to the water dumping onto him!

When it was time to go Mason gave his long lost friend Chase a hug good-bye. (Chase moved out to Queencreek so we don't get to see them much!)

Thanks Amy for suggesting this awesome place. I definately give it a 5 star rating and recomend it to all who love to play in the sun!

He Thinks He Can Fly

I don't know what's worse Mason jumping like this or me filming it. Hope Noah's not getting any ideas!

What a boy!

Play Time!

Mason is constantly begging for me to get out "the tunnels". Thanks to my sister Maddy

(who gave them to us) my boys are thoroughly entertained for hours at a time.

I can't even finish setting up before Noah's bolting inside and squealing for joy! I love it!
Watch out Noah!
The Race is on! They love chasing eachother through the tubes (aka tunnels!)
"Hi Mom!"
Good Bye! Thanks again Maddy!

Saying Good-Bye

One of my very best friends has moved away. Angela and I have known each other for only a short 6 years but it feels like a lifetime. She's one of those people that makes you want to do better. I love her never-ending knowledge of EVERYTHING! This girls is sooooooo smart. We both have a passion for Dental Hygiene (I know, we are nerds!). Ever since I met her at school my life has changed for the better. She's definately one of the most hardworking, smartest, most genuine, and beautiful women I know.

I LOVE this tender moment captured! Mason sure loves Angela and Jay.

We had them over for one last dinner and Family Night, before she left to travel across the country to her new home. I know we'll be friends forever but I will miss her dearly.
I love you Ange!

I LOVE this girl!

Poor Jay! Mason had Jay read to him. Jay was a good sport though and even did excellent character voice immpressions! (I wish I would've gotten a video clip!)

Say Cheese!

Mason and Angela working on a puzzle!

(Ron's not in any of the pics. because he was doing the dishes! Thanks Ronnie!)

These are some old pics I found of Angela and I. Buddy loved playing with his friends Hagrid and Cassie (RIP).

This is when it was too hot outside to run so we walked around in the mall!

I can't believe I am putting "fat pics" of me up!

Angela and I really enjoy running. We would run as much as possible. During school we even took flashcards on our run to study (yes, I know BIG nerds!).
This pic is from one of our runs at our favorite spot at the ASU Research Park. (No one was around to take the pic.) ha! ha! Where's the tripod when you need it! :)
