weekend...

Has it really came and gone already...??? This weekend was great. The weather here in Arizona is perfect this time of year. Sunday it got a little warm but we are not going to complain...we will leave that for June-October when it is 115+ out here. The girls have been enjoying going outside everyday at Nana's house and splashing a little bit in the pool already!

Saturday was date night and it was great. We could not have been blessed anymore in finding a good weekend babysitter. Brandy is AWESOME!! She picks up all the toys before we get home, she never calls when the girls get fussy, she is great!! We went to the movies and watched "Harold and Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay" it was very funny but NOT a movie for little ones! Then we went to Native NewYorker for wings and sliders...YUMMO!! Then headed out to do a little shopping and i came home with this beauty...i must be loved :)



Then sunday was mostly spent inside with the air on and the blinds closed. It was a great day to shower early in the afternoon and just hang out with the ones that you love. I also made my love meatloaf and corn on the cob. Produce is in season here in Arizona. Fresh fruit and veggies for the next 7 months!

Until next time...

ahh...it is friday!

One of the great advantages to living so close to Mexico...bottled coke! This was a great treat on this hot friday afternoon here at work.

Hope everyone has a safe weekend...will update sunday or monday

Date Day...

With work being totally nuts once again i decided that it was time for a Daddy and Mommy Date Day. We just went to Phoenix but had a great time. We didn't have anything planned just went with the day. We started the day at IHOP, then went to the Phoenix Science Center and saw the "Titanic" artifacts display and the IMAX movie "Titanica". You weren't suppose to take pictures in the artifact display but with my extra quiet camera i was able to get a few shots of some artifacts that were displayed close to the ground...





The last picture is a man made iceberg which was really cool. Alot of the kids in the display were melting their handprints into it.

We then went on a walk around down town but a Dbacks game was about to start was the streets were very busy with families headed to the ball park so we decided to hit up the HardRock cafe for a snack. The nachos there are awesome.



We then went shopping at Tempe Marketplace, Mesa Riverview and had dinner at Logan's Roadhouse before heading home for the night.

The weather here in the Valley has been PERFECT! It has been in the mid to high 80's during the day and dropping into the 50's at night.

Last night while we were at dinner we got some great news! Tom's brother and sister-in-law finally got an offer on their house in Indiana!! This is one step closer to having our favorite family members closer to us. We hope that all goes well and they will soon be on their way to "the valley of the sun"!

Today has been a very laid back day. All of us got up this morning and went grocery shopping. Then we have been catching up on some cleaning, watching some of our favorite shows, laying around and tonight we will be grilling out for a simple dinner with hardly any clean-up...my favorite for a sunday evening.

until next time...
