The Zoo!

Last weekend, Paul came home for a visit and on Saturday wedecided to go to the zoo. I know, who does that in July in Phoenix?! We had a lot of fun! Mason and Hadley LOVE animals. They have lots of little splash pad things there, so we stayed cool in the hellish sun! We would get drenched, then go off and see animals. I am just glad nobody got sunburned!

Soo...

I think im going to make the blog private. I just think that would be best with Paul being gone and everything. I saw an Oprah episode and it scared me. I post way too much info, but I like being able to do that so friends and family can stay up to date with us. So, if you want to keep reading my super interesting blog, just leave me your email. Its okay if I dont know you, and you are Paul's friends or whatever, just let me know! Thanks guys!

Not a whole lot has been going on here lately. We are just hanging out trying to stay in from the heat! Paul is still on the reservation for the next month and just found out his next rotation is in Flagstaff. So that will be his home until Thanksgiving. We are hoping this is the last time he has to have an out of town rotation. He is doing well and gets to come see us about once a month. Kenley is growing like a little weed. Shes huge! We are blessing her in a few weeks at Paul's parents house. My poor mom made her a beautiful dress, and I tried it on her, and of course my little buddah is too chunky for it! No worries though, grandma is whipping her up a bigger one as we speak!

The "House"

Here are some pictures of Paul's bachelor pad. Can you believe that for only $500. a month all this can you be yours?!?

Dinosaur Tracks on The Res

Here are the pictures from the dinosaur tracks. Its the craziest thing, on the way out to the reservation, in the middle of nowhere there are all of these dinosaur footprints and fossils. I really could have stayed there all day.

Life on the Res

We decided to go up and visit Paul for a while. I had every intention on staying for a week, but it didnt really turn out that way...

• 5:00-we arrive in Tuba City and meet Paul
• 5:03-I walk into his "house" and am overcome by the stench of old man and propane.
• 5:24-I HAD to get out of that "house" so he took us out to some dunes where we played until the sun went down...at 9:00
• 9:00-return back to the "house" only to find 36000 nats in all of our stuff and try to get everyone settled for the night.
• 9:17-Hadley starts crying and wandering around the "house."
• 10:08-still crying-and the pow-wow outside starts, complete with fireworks.
• 12:26-more crying
• 1:00 finally asleep
• 4:42-more crying
• 9:00-everyone up. The bugs seem to have tripled in the night.
• 10:00 cannot handle the smell or the bugs any longer, so we decided to go see the dinosaur tracks. (Pay attention, this is the only fun part.) We stayed there and played and walked around the dinosaur tracks for a good part of the morning.
• 12:00 back to the "house" where we are all going to nap. Kids are grumpy, im grumpy, and soo ready to go, but feeling guilty about leaving Paul there.
• 1:30-I quickly get over the guilt, start packing up the car and we go home.
• 6:00-We all miss Paul and want him to come home really bad!!!

We met up with some of my old high school friends, Lindsey, her sister Lauren, and Natali at the park yesterday!! It was so fun to see everyone and their kids! The 3 of us all had babies within weeks of each other! All the new bebes Kenley, Coleson, and Quinn

I stole this one from you Lindsey!
