Hunter's Great Day @ Preschool

Hunter's preschool has been talking about jobs in the community and Hunter raised his hand and said, "My dad builds all the roads. He'll come tell you how he does it if you want?" So Justin got volunteered to talk to Hunter's preschool class. Hunter was thrilled that his dad was going to come to school with him. So to make it a good experience and meaningful I took Hunter around to all the equipment at CKC and took his picture next to them. The class really loved seeing how big things were compared to someone their size. Justin (with a little help) wore a hard hat and safety vest and he took all the pictures we had blown up. It was a huge success and Hunter came home on cloud nine. Justin even left me a message later that day to say thanks for making him look so good and for going to so much work for him. It's nice to be appreciated!

Hunter just adores his dad! He loves it when he gets to go to work and "help" his dad. Justin is a great dad and is always willing to help with the kids. Before Justin went to school with Hunter he took him out for lunch. Could Hunter, or Justin look happier?

Monster Truck Jam @ Chase Field

I got tickets for the fam to go to the Moster Truck Jam. This is Kiersten and Hunter before the event started. Hunter took this picture. Really good job Hunter!

Logan was happy that the girl next to him let him play with her truck.

Kiersten really liked the Monster Trucks, even though it was crazy loud!

Cute Boys!

Logan was seriously in Heaven the whole time. It lasted from 6-11 and he stayed awake the whole time. Keep in mind his bed time is 7:30, but he was too excited to sleep. Kiersten was the only one that fell asleep, right before the freesytle event where the trucks go crazy and run over everything. We couldn't believe she could sleep through all the noise.

Hunter was thrilled to be watching Monster Trucks run over things and ride wheelies. He thanked me several times for getting the tickets.

This Ninja Turtle truck was the kids favorite!

Hunter was so excited when he saw that one truck was named after him, of course, "Bounty Hunter"

Bounty Hunter was the WINNER!!! Hunter was so happy about that!

Watching the trucks spin Brodie's was seriously cool!

Hunter is helping me post so there are going to be a lot of pictures of the trucks. In Hunter's words, "All these pictures are too cool not to have on your blog, Mom!"

Wish we could ride in them is what I keep thinking the whole time. Actually I would LOVE to drive one!

So cool!

Grave Digger was of course the best to watch. He put on quite the show! We had a fun time and the kids loved it.

Can you imagine the adrenaline these drivers must feel?

TGI Fridays before the Monster Truck Jam

We took a break from the Children's Museum and walked over to Chase field to eat at TGI Friday's for lunch. It was fun to see the Monster Truck's on the field and all the dirt they hauled in for this event.

Me, Kiersten and Hunter waiting "patiently" for our food.

Logan and Justin waiting not so "patiently" for their food :) Hunter was being really quiet while we waited and finally he said he had a surprise for me....................He said, "Look Mom, the World's Largest paper airplane!"

Children's Museum of Phoenix

We took the kids to the Children's Museum on Saturday and they had a great time. We have been to Children's museums all over, Utah, Chicago, Michigan, Wisconsin and now Arizona. It is always fun to see the activities they have and how creative the things are. The kids loved these little bikes and especially driving them through the car wash.

What a handsome little devil! Logan is so cute and has a fun personality!

Basically they tried to go as fast as they could........Crazy Cluff Kids!

OK who knew metal washers on a pole could create so much noise but WOW! The people working there seriously can't be getting paid enough to listen to that everyday. Of course the kids just loved making all that noise and that's the whole point!

The kids really loved the Noodle Forest! Justin and I even enjoyed running through it. Kiersten is just beautiful even with all her missing teeth. I love being her Mom!

Crazy Hunter ran WILD through the Noodle Forest!

Aren't they adorable!

Come catch me Mom!

Logan loved putting the beanbag spiders and lizards on the cactus and spinning them to the top where the eagle throws them off.

Nice ride Logie!

This was a big hit with the boys. Racing these cars were so much fun!

Logan had a grant time!

I love to watch my kids explore and see them so excited!

Kiersten wanted to take a picture for her Grammie so she could see that the food in the kitchen area was all yarn and fabric.

Kids and tons of beans makes for great fun and a HUGE mess!

Hunter sure enjoyed the grocery store!

He really like checking people out and asking them if they wanted paper or plastic.

Kiersten found lots of friends to play with. She really loved the warehouse part of the grocery store. She loved taking the big cart and putting all the food items back out on the shelves.

Logan and Hunter

Logan had so much fun on these things.

Hunter riding on the wooden segway. It looks easy, but actually takes more coordination than you'd think.

The kids raced around on these just having a wonderful time.

OK so the kids made it look so fun I couldn't resist! It was so fun and who cares if I was the only parent who got on them right? The other parents really missed out!

Logan's got a problem...........

Is it a problem when your 3 year old can chug a beer? Root beer that is! He even holds it like a true alcoholic! It's cute to hear Logan say, "I Love So-a!"

What a fun trip to the DUNES!

Justin and I sure enjoyed getting away to the dunes. Riding is quite the outlet for the both of us. And we both could use the time to destress and get rid of some built up frustrations. So it was great to have the chance to get away. We had a great trip with all the Harmon families! We enjoy doing stuff with Richard and Stacie and are always excited we they invite us to the dunes. It was a great trip..............no one got hurt, the quads ran good, the only problem was that the rear driverside tire of the rail fell off. Wouldn't you know it happened while I was driving it. Good thing we were only in first gear! It's always an adverture!

What a handsome guy!

Hunter picked out his own flag for the quad. Wouldn't you know it was a skull.

Logan was being cute in the chair and asked me to take his picture..............yea they are trained!

Of course the men had to watch the Cadinals game.............wouldn't want to miss it! This is Justin, Grumpy, and Richard hangin out watching the game. The rest of the crew is inside watching it. More than half of the gang had already headed back home. Kiersten and Megan taking a break from the quads to watch a movie. Kiersten really enjoyed playing playing volleyball with Kamala.

Hunter enjoying the great buy I found at Target. This Imaginex set use to be $40, but was on sale for $10. The kids love the Imaginex stuff and Kiersten thought we should get something for the boys we had left back at camp. Kiersten and I went into Yuma to have a date while the men waited for the game to start. We shopped, ate and enjoyed some girl time. Kiersten is great fun to shop with. Yes I have trained her well. I know it will come back to bite me in the butt when she is a teenager, but for now it is great fun!

Logan is such a fun boy. I just wish I could get him to stop screaming so much! Will I someday miss that? I actually don't think I will. I might miss the little fingerprints, but the screaming I am not to sure about.

Justin looks high and Logan looks happy! Like I said it was a great dunes trip.........LOL!
