Things I didn't know that my children did not know about....


1.   Dishwasher
2.  Garage
3.  Garbage disposal
4.  Remote to the garage (to them it was magic)


and I'm sure there are many many more to come...
I didn't realize that we really do live in a small small town with a lot of surrounding country.
I love it!  My children have lived in Hawaii for more than half their little short lives...  Keira wasn't even two when we left... it's just crazy to me to think about it...


AZ is HOT!!!   was it 118?  Wow - boy did we pick a bad time of year to visit!!!  the hottest weather in several years...  see my friends blog who quoted the nation weather service... hottest weather since 2006 (ooops we were here then too!!!)  I shouldn't have paid $1600 for the flights... they should be giving them out for free to come to this hot hot hot hot place!!!

We're hoping to get out to Prescott Valley and Flagstaff if we can find a bigger car to borrow...   hope to go to a few fun indoor play places for kids...

I'm steadily gaining weight and enjoying the shopping that is so close here...   except for when I have held up shorts that I thought looked HUGE and then they were actually too tight on me - oops... gotta stop having middle-of-the-night carne asada burritos i guess!!!
Chris, Kai, Keira and I are sick now and it's not that awesome.

But what is awesome is that we are here with our family, and we still have all our old family ward and friends that I can't wait to see up in Mesa... and Brynn and her family is coming out in a few days!!!  and everything is awesome!  and we still have over two weeks left!  :)

ole blue eyes :)  

(this one isn't is focus but it's my cute neice Brea!!  :)

I need to take more pictures, but it's hard cause my hands are usually full!!  or we're in the pool which is so so nice :)

And OH!!!   

ps.

We are blessing Aleia this next Sunday at my parents home :)  I'm so excited!
