Weekend Fun

Wow, I really don't like the heat. And not looking forward too June-August. So our wonderful friends Kevin and Patricia, have this wonderful pool and Jacquzzi (heated I might add) anyways, they had a BBQ-Pool party and invited us out for some fun. Well it was. There was 17 kids there and 5 adults need I say more. I was a complete wreck, Major worry wort. But everything went great. No sun burns, thank goodness for sunblock and only 80 degrees out. Food was great as usual and great company. We love the Stradlings been great friends for a long time, and hopefully many more too come. We love you guys.

Anyway, Taylor- was little mom MAJOR help playing with Daxton and just loves the water. (very much like her father, part fish).
Calvin- just played and played and played, also part fish. Got out too eat and then back in forget the whole 30 minute rule.
Tayton- once again constantly haves to go POTTY when we swim. Kid needs to stop swallowing water. But so cute when he says, MOM I have to go Potty AGAIN. hahahaha
Daxton- Wasn't sure of the water at first, but once he warmed up too it, no stopping him. He couldn't get enough of it. He got curious once he saw the older kids jumping off waterfall. So dad started off small, the side of the pool. It was all down hill from there. He is now jumping off the waterfall. Very cute. But just like his older brothers and Sister doing fun stuff at young ages. Gotta love the no fear factor.
And Aeden- Well too windy for mom so he didn't get in the water. Mean mom.

Two Big Events

Well once again the Harris' are busy busy busy.

Taylor had been working for the last month and a half on a report about the first female Pharaoh, Hatshepsut. Don't ask me how to saw it but Taylor sure thinks she knows. HAHAHAHAHA. Anyways, after she did her 100 note cards and poster board and report. She then had to dress the part of this lady and act as a wax statue for all the parents to come and see their museum. It was the Eduprize 1st annual wax museum. She did awesome. I was so proud of Taylor. Her Teacher Mrs. Ross, would go up too the students and tap them on the shoulder and then they would come too life and say their speech. Basically telling everyone about themselves.It was really cool to watch all these 5th and 6th grades, I was very impressed.

Then Last night was Calvin's 2nd annual Pinewood Derby Race. Last year he got 2nd place and well he didn't show it was so excited. (but that is Calvin Mr. excitement, NOT) But well he did have a really cool looking car but he didn't win more than one race. Poor guy. But he still had fun. I think dad was more upset than Calvin. Dad tries to make the car the coolest looking but the fastest, But yes Dad is very talented. Next year maybe he will try and make it cool and fast. HAHAHAHA. Mom had to remind Grandpa also that it was just for fun and too calm down. But everyone had a good time and we always have next year to get first place.

Both Dad and Mom are so very proud of our kids. We can't believe that they are getting so big and old. Well more old than big, hahahahhaha.

Little Boys Tantrums


Wow, I am getting to frustrated with whining boys. No matter what I do if I give them their way they still whine if I don't I still hear it. I need too hear from you super moms what is the trick. I love my son to death but I am going bonkers. He is a completely different kid for me than everyone else. And I am not sure what to do with him. And you all know which one I am talking about (Tayton). He is the sweetest but the rottenest one I have. He knows exactly what buttons too push and when. I have to leave the room and count hahahaha before I react.

Do they ever grow out of tantrums? Plese say yes.

Easter





Wow, So love the Holiday's but so excited when they are done and over. Make very long days. Heading from one parent too the next. But the kids love too see all their cousins and the Grandparents.

This Easter we started off Saturday at noon at Devin's parents in Mesa. The kids colored eggs, then dads hid them, then they went in the backyard too find them. That was really funny to watch the kids were able to find four eggs, but surprise surprise, dads hid them so hard that they even forgot where they were. They had to trace their steps. They even camouflaged some of them. For the older girls. Then they played some games for some cool prizes. Very funny too watch I might add. Then back inside too eat lunch and then relax.

Then at four we headed to Grandpa and Grandpa Dee's (hahahaha) Easter Party. We basically did the same thing. But at a park near Kasandra's. The kids were loving the park. Devin had two girls fall in love with him. Maci and Morgan (Geoff's girls) let him push them on the swings for probubly half and hour or so. Maci was so sad when he took them off. She didn't care that it was time to find the eggs she was having such a relaxing time. Was so addorable. The moms hid the eggs, we made it alittle too easy I think. But too many little kids. Out of 25 kids The oldest was 12 and the youngest was 1 Little Brodie. But he was more interested in the basketball. CUTE CUTE. Then Grandma gave out the Easter stuffed animals. All five got new bunnies this year, and Tayton can't get over the fact that Daxton got the same bunny that Tayton got last year. Crazy Crazy. He can't stop telling everyone.

Then we headed on that long journey home, good old Florence. Man can't wait too move back closer too family. Well that was our wonderful Easter. Hope everyone had a wonderful day and Remembered what the real reason we celebrate Easter.

Day At The Park




Wow, Taylor and Calvin attend Eduprize Charter School in Queen Creek, And we Love it. But, they have a half day every Friday, so Mom was trying to find something for them too do for the next few hours to keep them happy and occupied. Well, Since Tayton loves the park and outdoors thought that would be a wonderful place. So we headed off to Magma Ranch Park. Dad was working overtime today but luckily he got off in just enough time too come and play.

They were having fun for the first 45 min. but after that they started getting winny and well needless too say it was getting hot and mom and Dad weren't having a relaxing time. So off we went back home too relax at home on the cumfy couch.

Of course everyone but Tayton was loving the camera so we are one kid short.
