Weekend get-a-way

We headed to Pinetop for a weekend get-a-way from the heat. It was so beautiful in the high country with temps from the 60s. We had a great time with my parents with walks, talks, bike rides, parks,rain, yummy food, antiques, golfcourse hotdog, and the beautiful mountains. I have so many memories of Pinetop when I was little. It is just nice to get away from the everyday routine

Our many stops up to Pinetop! Bentley potty training in action....

Play date with our friends

Bentley and I needed to get out the other day and meet our friends Jill and Harrison. Bentley calls Harrison "harry" and it is so cute because he kind of says it with an english accent. Anyway, they had so much fun playing at Peter Piper. They really had a great time together. It was also great to catch up with my friend Jill and play with baby Graham who is adorable.

Summer time in Solana Beach

We had a ton of fun on our week trip to Solana Beach! We loved the beautiful sunsets, the sand, the ocean, pizza at the park, long walks, Roberto's, Mitch's, dinners, sandcastles, relaxation, La Lolla Cove, and time with family.

4th of July

We had a blast over the weekend! Friday and Saturday we stayed at a resort and hung out all day at the pool. Bentley had fun going down the lazy river and swimming. Friday night we went out to dinner with my brothers and their wives. On Saturday, we played in the water all day and went out for some yummy sushi at the Kona Grill and then headed out to watch fireworks in the mountains. The fireworks were not that great and Bentley kept telling me, " Momma go home.... Momma go home"....... It broke my heart, but he finally warmed up to them and started calling the fireworks big booms! We had a lot of fun and I hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July too.

Father's Day Weekend

We had a very busy Father's Day weekend filled with swimming, games, family, and food. On Saturday we had a swim and BBQ at my parents house with our whole family. There was a ton of kids running around because between my cousins and my sister's kids their were 12 running around. It was so much fun to share Dad's day with everyone. Sunday, Mikes Mom and sister came over for dinner. Bentley had fun giving everybody a ride on his twist roller. Thanks everyone for a memorable weekend!

Dad got an ipod and season tickets to the Diamondbacks. Gotta love it!
