4th of July

I can't believe how far behind I have gotten on my blogging.  Luckily I am now only 14 days behind, instead of a couple of months.  I finally got all the pictures off my cell phone and compiled them on my computer and figured out just what was missing.  I actually took pictures this year because we did something different for the 4th than we have been doing for the past few years.  We did not go up to the cabin, as has become tradition.  My work schedule just didn't permit it this year, so we went to the Diamondbacks Baseball game instead.  It was a lot of fun.  We watched a fun baseball game in great seats, ate lots of junk and watched a great fireworks show.  Here are some pictures that were taken while we were there....

Aaron's best month....EVER

Aaron decided to make June the best month ever for him and our family.  We were smooth sailing along, planning to have his tonsils/adnoids out at the end of the month, when bam out of no where Aaron decided to add a bit more excitement.  On Tuesday, June 26th 2 days before his surgery he broke his left arm. 

It occured at Christine's house.  Aaron was in a jumping contest with his cousin, Garrett.  They were jumping on an exercise ball that is cut in half and on a base so it doesn't roll.  Aaron jumped the highest and landed on his arm causing a buckle break just above the left wrist.  He will be in a cast for 3 weeks.

Then on Thursday, June 28th Aaron went in for his tonsils/adnoids surgery.  He did great.  Was a good patient.  We have been keeping him still with the aid of medication.  He is feeling better each day. 

BEWARE...we took before and after pictures of his throat.....kinda gross but also very cool!

Memorial Day Cabin Trip

We headed up to the cabin over Memorial Day for the softball tournaments.  Joe and Uncle Sean played together.  We had lots of cousins to play with while enjoying the cool weather.  Uncle Galen and Aunt Julia came by with everyone on Sunday for a family dinner.  

Joe's 39th Birthday

I only have 1 picture from Joe's birthday....And of course it isn't of Joe.  We celebrated this year by going to a fun resort in Gold Canyon just east of Mesa...just the 2 of us.  It was a fun time.  Later Jared helped me bake a cake for Dad and we celebrated as a family with cake.  Of course the only picture I got was of Jared helping to make the cake.  So Happy Birthday Joe!



Jared Preschool Graduation

Jared graduated from Preschool this year.  He will attend Kindergarten in the fall.  His teacher Mrs. Rogers was the best.  They sang songs, acted out a play in which Jared was the lion and we all enjoyed yummy refreshments.  It was fun to see Jared in his school element. 

Tyler Choir Concert/Recorder Concert

Tyler had his end of year choir/recorder concert.  Of course it landed on the same night as baseball games, so I ran Tyler to his concert and then after we ran to the games so Tyler could play in the last few innings.  He loves singing in the choir and playing in the recorder club.
