Father's Day

Jon did something to his back while playing ice hockey last Monday night. He has been in utter pain for a few days now. He finally went to a chiropractor and it's starting to feel a little better. So for his big day he decided he wanted to go "Jeepers Amusement Park" that way the kids could run around and have a ton o fun and he could pretty much sit. The girls and I made him a book of him and his girls all year long and a new headphones w a speaker for his iphone. It was a fun day but not the waterslides like he wanted to do. Poor guy!

Filling

Yesterday Sydney had to get a little filling on her back right tooth. Both the twinks baby teeth have weak enamel so this probably wont be the last time it happens. The dentist told me I need to have them stay away from sweet drinks and no soda which we pretty much already do so I have a feeling this will be happening again. Plus they are suppose to brush their teeth twice a day which we are really bad at. Really good at the before bed part but bad at the after breakfast part. They wanted to "gas" her for the procedure but I really didnt want to do that to her so they tried it with out it and she did great! (Saved me $55 bucks too) She stayed still the whole time but at one point she cried a little bit. I really like this dentist. He kept giving her little breaks so she would have to have her mouth open the whole time. It was a procedure that should have been 5 minutes but they made it last 10 so she was happy. She is watching the movie "monsters and aliens" which is on the screen on the ceiling so that kept her distracted.

AZ science museum

Yesterday we went to the AZ science museum for Kim's birthday. I had never been before. Kim thought the PHX children's museum and the science museum were the same so when we drove up to the kids museum we realized it was two different places. The children's museum is more for kids 8 and under and we had Jack with us so he would have been bored. The AZ science museum was really cool. My kids were a little young for it but they enjoyed themselves. Sam got picked to help out w a little experiment...

They had a lot of really cool things for the kids to do. It was really hands on. This was a shadow wall where you triedn to catch the balls coming down the screen~!

We stopped by Baskin Robins for a treat afterwards! It was a fun day!

More Courtney

I accidentally posted this on the old blog last week!

the kitty and the fairy video

I know they are a little long but these are going to be golden to watch in about 20 years!

Parks

this past weekend the weather here was perfect. On Saturday I dont think it even reached 90* so we spent a good portion of it outside. After dinner we even headed down to the park for some fun! It was crazy busy. I guess everybody was thinking the same thing. Living here in the summer is like living in WA in the winter except when it gets cool everyone heads outside here. It's impossible to play out side when it's 100+ so you spend our summer days inside and our winter days outside! Crazy!

Courtney's new model face...have no clue where it comes from but for the last few days she puckers up!

or she shows me her bum and laughs!

Sydney loves to swing

they have a cool rock wall at the Goodyear Park

Here Courtney is getting a little help from her Dad

On Sunday it got to be about 95* so we headed up to Surprise (well we were going to go to Rio Vista splash park but it was WAY crowded) we packed a picnic and the kids played for an hour or so. Afterwards we went to Culvers for some frozen custard! YUMMY

Courtney and her pose

a ginormous swing!

the twinks brought their buckets and shovels but there wasnt any sand at this park so they played with the wood chips!
