Just to "somewhat" finish the trip

I am getting backed up in pictures so I am just going to post a few more pics from my trip to az so I can get on with more recent events :) We went to a pretty sweet aquarium at Mills Mall in Tempe with my gorgeous cousin and her baby. We are a month apart and our boys are 3 months apart lol. I love her and her sweet baby... and baby to be.





Noah and I trying to find out where to go


We got to pet some star fish


 Kai and Jaxon lookin at some cool fish



The next day Jared (Candace's hubby) Decided to tell them some cool stories about his past times while they ate some delicious pb&j compliments of Candace.


And we tried to fit 3 car seats in a back seat... it doesn't work too well... So that means no more kiddos for me until Kai is out of a car seat :)



The next day I had to go to Tucson to get a passport so my best friend (since 10th grade)!! Kacee came with






Later that night we went to her husbands mom's house for a barbeque and some swimming. 


And we also saw a movie sometime in there too. Haha... have you ever had a whole theater to yourself?? We did!! For about 5 minutes :)



Kai's swim lessons and more to come in the next post!! :)

Part 4... Yes they are still coming

I am attempting to get all my pictures in haha. I have just been so busy with the kids and every free second I get I like to watch a movie or workout. It's my only peace and quiet... Speaking of, I did my hair for the first time in 2 weeks today. Yes it felt amazing... and only to go to walmart HA! Story of my life.

Anywho.... While up in Taylor I had to help my family move back to pinetop... I am so sorry that you guys have to live there again. My heart goes out to you. Yes, I grew up there and yes, I was gone the day after I graduated... not because I wanted to be away from my family... trust me I missed the heck out of them... but because Pinetop is a small small town and ugh. I just don't like it. I DO however like and miss quading and hanging out outside. That was one thing I did miss. Here are some pics of the rest of my time there and what we like to do in small towns :)

By the way... this is pretty much my best friend in the world.. Besides my husband of course. She is the most genuine, gorgeous, sweet, kind hearted, friendliest, humblest, great person I know. I look up to this girl in so many ways. She is turning 16 this month and having a sweet 16 party. I am so happy for her and all that she has accomplished in life. She never complains about anything. Never talks bad about anyone. Is so good in the church, is the BEST sister I could have ever asked for. And shes got the looks too haha. But seriously I love this girl with all my heart.


Kayla colored... she looks like a caveman in this picture




Haha... don't you love his shoes?





More from my 2 month ago trip to come!

4th of July


We had to drive straight to my mom's house after we got off the plane and had lunch with my cousin and her Hubby. I must say I do miss my family a lot being so far away. You never really know how much the importance of being close to family is until you don't have them next to you all the time. For the fourth we went to a Rodeo up in Taylor and fireworks were after that. It was a lot of fun.

My mom and her two only grandchitlins. 

       

Haha... this face of Noah is priceless.


Kai and UNCLE Branson. Yes, he is only 13 months older.


At the Rodeo on the bleachers


Me and Tardo ~ my little bro Dalton


My sister Kayla


My mom and I



Country isn't the country without a tractor.


We were pretty high up


Please don't be jealous of my great fireworks display. I know... I should become professional :)


My little brother had to have my mom cover his eyes the WHOLE fireworks show. Everytime she tried to move her hand he would scream. haha.



The fourth was great! Sadly we couldn't be with Casey but we still had a great time.

Hurricanes and Plane Rides! Part 2 :)

Hurricane season was another exciting one for us. We always seem to be in south texas every year when this rolls around. Ha. As we were packing to move, hurricane Alex decided to come and hit right through brownsville. So, this made us pack a little faster. We were going to stay there another month but when they started boarding up windows, and then boarding up OUR windows while we were still inside we decided to leave then and there. 


       

Out our window overlooking the gym.


While we were inside packing they came and blocked out all source of sunlight.


Don't mind the packing look. Just look at the cute kid sitting in all the mess :)



Ol' Besty doin us some good once again. 




A couple days later the boys and I left our plane ride. Yes I will admit I was a little nervous to be flying alone with two babies. What if they scream? What if I need to pee? What if they both poop and stink up the plane and everyones looking at me? Yes, I was worried. Luckily they were both awesome and Kai even fell asleep!!! Which I thought would never happen. Here are a few pics from our ride!


       









More to come soon!!

July update! Part 1 of 23

Has it really been over a month since I have updated?! Wow! The boys and I have been traveling and got back to Texas and then just finished up our move to AUSTIN!! I love it here. Even though we have only been here about 4 days and I haven't had a phone or T.V. it's absolutely gorgeous and so much fun! I have taken so many pictures to capture our vacation and there is so many I will only be doing a little a day... it's hard to find time between two boys and unpacking. I'm sorry I didn't get to see all of you who I wanted to. I had so much going on with passports and errands to run I didn't get to see a lot of people who I wanted to. I plan to come down again in the next month or so to visit and promise I will stop by! Anywho... before we left on our little tour of Arizona and Utah we took a little trip to the Brownsville zoo. It was suprisingly awesome and one of the best zoos I have ever been to.





Kai stuck his has in bird poo. When he stuck it in his mouth the face was priceless... I didn't have my camera to get it tho.







More pictures of our trip to come :)
