More Week of Fun

I went to the library and got the Free City Pass to use one the days of Desert Botanical Garden's Pumpkin Festival. We went and had fun. We paid a few dollars to see the Monarch Butterfly Exhibit. Very Neat.

My little Pumpkins

They loved to pick their own pumpkins for free

Then we decorated them

Don't forget the Hayride

The kids loved the games

And I loved the ButterfliesOverall, it was a blast! We have to think of something free and cheap for tomorrow :-)

My Hubby's Week of Vacation

We decided we needed to do something cheap and fun. So on Wednesday we went on a hike, the boys choice and went to the zoo. At the Zoo we won a trip to Puerto Vallarta. Unfortunately, we don't have enough money to get there. But hey, 4 nights paid hotel was a pretty sweet idea.

Zach's attempt at getting the rock to move...his idea.

Zach's 5th Birthday

Turning 5 for Zach was so much fun. We had an olympic birthday party in my in-laws backyard complete with fun, friends, and lots of food. Here are some pictures!

Tug of War against Jace, that boy has arms of steel, no I did not win.....Tyler just wanted to jump in the pool.Mid Air jump sorry for the blur.Zach with his best friend Katie playing What time is it Mr. Fox. My niece's eyes crack me up
Tyler in the Tug of War pool, he was one of the only ones readily willing to jump in. What I wasnt supposed to get wet?

The chaos of opening presents with a ton of children around It was fun though and Zach was excited about all the cool gifts he got.

Then there was cake, he wanted a Spongebob one and for the first time I let him just pick one out even if I rarely ever let him watch the show.

This is how I have been Feelin' lately

1st soccer Game

Zach's first soccer game went off without a hitch. He rocked. He scored 3 goals! We were so excited.

Zachs 2nd game didn't go as well he only scored one goal because there was this awesome kid who always got the ball on the other team. It kinda sucked because my in-laws actually got to go to this game because they switch off between Zach' s and my neice' s game across the field. I wish they could have seen the awesome game the week before instead of the kind of sad game this week. BUT Zach is getting much better and truth be told it's worth it because he is having a blast!The snacks halfway and after are wonderful!! YummY

Swing Set Fun

So we got this swing set from our old bishop who was selling it on our ward Trading Post. We figured we will be here for a while and it would be great. So we got it before summer started and it was so stinkin' hot we didn't use it much. Now that it is starting to cool we are using it a ton now. We wanted to stain it so it would be weather proof. That was the project last week. It got half done. The boys worked hard.
