Watching Airplanes

I guess you can't drive by the airport and not stop and watch the airplanes. It must be a Grant thing I don't know. But yesterday we were just driving by and Colton thought it would be the coolest thing ever to stop for the kids but I really think it was for him. :) So we parked and watched and watched and watched.

First we parked here and just let Mason watch for a few minutes.


And he saw this about 30 times.


Then we parked here and let all the kids get out.


And they saw this about 30 more times. They got to see the airplanes drive all the way to where they were going to take of and then actually got to see them take off and what was most important was that they could hear everything.



Watching....


Just look at Mason's eyes and you can tell an airplane was taking off. He didn't want to look away for even a second.


Brinley...what are we looking at again?


I know you can't see much because yes we stayed till dark but don't worry the planes had head lights and best of all grandma was at work and drove over to see us in her tug. I fought Mason so hard because he all he wanted was to go ride with grandma but there was a big fence in between us and her.

Roosevelt Lake

Well since this summer all that we have done is swimming I am just going to have to post more swimming pictures. Last Saturday we all went to Roosevelt Lake. And it was an adventure lets just say that. The kids had a blast and it was nice to get out of the house.

Grandpa gave Ashton a sucker and he was a happy camper.

Mason's new favorite sport. Fishing. Who new.


Yummy!

Mason swimming with Grandma. Yes he has pink water wings on. We had to borrow them because some how his got left in the car and didn't make it on the boat. With some convincing he wore them.

Somebody's 3!!!!!!

Today is Mason's 3rd birthday!! He is such a big helper and a great big brother. He is just getting so big so fast. Next thing you know he will be off to school. We love you Mason and Happy Birthday!

Cheese.




You are the only little kid who WANTS to sleep with an alligator.

Double Decker Carousel

Yesterday we went to Superstition Mall to let the kids ride the new double decker carousel and play and do a little shopping. The babies weren't so sure about the ride but towards the end realize they were having a good time.





But the funniest part of the whole day was when I walked by this vending machine. Not your ordinary vending machine. This one had everything you would have in your diaper bag. Diapers, wipes, binkies, and much more. Who would have thought. The best part was that it only took debit or credit. You don't even have to have cash. So if you forgot to pack the diapers or dropped the bink head right behind the service desk and they will have everything you need.

Vegas Trip

For Memorial weekend we went on a little trip the Las Vegas with the whole fam. The car ride wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. I am not big on road trips but Colton is, so sometimes we just have to do it. I would rather be on a plane and meet ya there in 45 min instead of the 6 hour drive. Once we got there Mason and the twins had so much fun. They loved being able to run around and play. Mason espically loved playing with Crew. Mason thinks they are best friends now. We just wanted to say thanks to Tanner and Andrea for inviting us and Brad and Kathy for letting us intrude upon their house.


We went to Circus Circus and Mason didn't want to leave. It was kinda hard for us because if you can imagine it was over crowed with tons of kids and people and then me with a monster double stroller trying to make my way around. They did get to play a couple games and even won some prizes.





The basketball court was a hit. Who knew everyone would have so much fun!





The babies had fun swinging.



And golfing....



And everyone love the trampoline.





*Thanks again Tanner, Andrea, Brad, and Kathy we had so much fun. Next time we will get you guys in at least one pictures.*

When it hits 110*........

My sister came over with her kids and we headed off to the pool. I just took Mason becasue I was sure if the water would be to cold for the babies. The water was perfect and the kids had so much fun. If it is already 110* outside I am sure we will be at the pool tons this summer. Good thing it's right around the corner.

Playing

I am glad that the kids are finding ways to entertain themselves these days. It makes my life a whole lot easier. First when my mom came over to babysit last saturday so Colton and I could have a night out Ashton discovered the drawer under the over and took out all the pans. So then the other day I find Ashton and Brinley sitting and just playing in the drawer. Must be fun!



Today I let all the kids go outside and play and they are just laughing so I had to take a peek and this is what I saw.....




Mason is in the palm tree. Ashton just doesn't know when to stop yet.
