Constitution Fair 2016...

Marc and I took the kids down to the Civic Center in Gilbert to check out the Constitution Fair.  It was our first time attending this annual event.  The kids had a blast participating in as much as they could.  Signing the inflatable Constitution excited the middle aged kids as they learned about it the previous week at school.  

Secret Reader...

Grandma surprised Rosalia at school and read a book about a little boy trying to call his grandma but keeps getting wild animals on the phone.  The kids enjoyed the story and Rosalia was extremely excited for Grandma to visit her classroom.  (Papa did tag along but this was all Grandma)

9/11 Service..

Our local MOMS club decided we would show our appreciation for the local first responders and deliver cookies to them.  Anytime you bring sometime to a forestation, you're almost guaranteed a tour and some time chatting with the firemen!  They love visitors and it was incredibly rewarding for my kids to see how appreciated the firemen were for their thoughtful/kind act.  

  

5 Seconds Of Summer...

5SOS!!!!  These two were so over the moon excited for this concert.  For months, they counted down.  For weeks, the face timed about it.  For days, they spent "fan girling" about it!  Openers included Roy English and Hey Violet.  The girls had a memorable night and it will only take my ears a couple days to heal from all the girl screams I listened to for several hours! 

Locket = No Crying?...

Marc and I went out shopping for a locket in hopes it would help calm Rosalia about being at school and away from us during the day.  I'm happy to report it has helped tremendously!  YAY!!

Yegge's Invade...

10 kids, 2 adults, and we survived the long holiday weekend having an absolute blast as usual.  It really is sad we live so far from each other but I'm grateful we are close enough to visit every so often!

A Not So New Truck For Marc...

After owning the Dodge for 14 years, the engine finally died.  Not wanting to invest in a brand new truck with Marc's commute being so long, used vehicle shopping we went.  I stumbled upon this 4x4 full size Nissan Titan Truck and couldn't pass up the deal.   Marc went to look at it and seemed happy with it.  And now he has a new but not so new truck!
