Back to school

Well, the summer is officially over. Morgan went back to school yesterday and Max and I are missing him very much. He doesn't sound too excited about his second year, but after this, he'll be doing his rotations and that will be a little bit more exciting.
Max and I have a lot planned for the next few days, just to keep busy and our minds off him being gone. Yesterday we went to the mall and played with some friends, then went grocery shopping (where Max just kept yelling out "DAD!" and looking down each isle), and then Danielle and her little boy Luke came over for a swim. It was a lot of fun and with this 110 degree weather, the pool will definitely get used every day! Apparently Arizona is going for a record with temps over 110 degrees for over 30 days this summer. Yikes.
Max still hasn't been feeling 100%, as evident in his lousy sleeping and moody afternoons. I think headcolds are almost the worst thing they can catch because they last FOREVER! But he's always in a good mood when we turn on High School Musical:) He sure loves that show! Actually, right now he's a lttle obsessed with the t.v. in general...we've taken to calling him Max T.V. Definitely cutting back on that now that Morgan is back in school. It really is going to be nice now to get back into a little routine and structure now that Morgan is back in school. Summer was fun, but I guess it's time to start being an adult. Ugh, how morbid did that sound?!

Surprise Visit

Max just wanted to say thank you to Grammie and Grandpa for coming down to see him this weekend! He had so much fun playing at your swimming pool and showing you his new swim "skills." And he LOVES his new shoes and clothes you got him!! He keeps pulling out the shoes and wants to wear them.
And first thing this morning he pulled his new Bible Stories book off the shelf and wanted to read it.
It was such a fun weekend and we were sad to see them go. Especially because it means that we are that much closer to seeing Morgan go back to school. This next year is going to be tough but we're excited to be that much closer to being done! Thanks for the visit, Grammie and Grandpa!! See you in October!!

Rainy Day in Florida

Check out my Slide Show!

Fun in Florida!

We just got back from our weeklong trip to Flordia with our friends Brooke, Jason, and Parker, and Siri, Sean, and Addie!! We stayed with Brooke's parents in Winter Park, which is a beautiful little town outside of Orlando. Her parents were so nice and did so much for us! They live on a lake and we got to go out boating at the drop of a hat!
The first day we were there, Morgan and the other husbands went to Islands of Adventure and did some indoor surfing. We got to spend some time shopping, boating, swimming at their country club, and of course, DISNEYWORLD! We had a great time at Disneyworld on Monday, although the humidity almost made it unbearable....
Then on Tuesday Brooke's dad, Capt. Roy, took us out on the yacht. It was such a beautiful boat and he took us to Daytona where the kids all got to play on the beach!
It was such a fun trip and it was hard leaving all the beautiful greenery and coming back to the desert. Max was sooo good on the plane coming back and when we got home, he just went CRAZY playing with his toys and running around with Bandit!! What a fun trip, but oh so good to be home!

Beatin' the Heat at the Splash-Pad

Usually takes him a minute to get into it, but once he does, he puts up a fight to leave!
