New Project

A lot of you (dad) have been asking why I haven't been blogging lately. I have a good reason. I started a new project with my BFF and it's taken a ton of my time.
Its a website created for real Moms. By real moms.

Log on NOW to www.21CenturyMoms.com for your DAILY "It's-Not-Just-Me" boost. Each day you'll get honesty, ideas, and smiles from the world of chaos, caffeine, and kids. Mondays we RANT, Tuesdays we tell you about STUFF WE <3, Wednesdays we play devil's advocate in THE FLIP SIDE, on Thursdays we are THINKING THIN and you never know what you are going to get on our FREAKY FRIDAYS.

plus.. You'll LOVE our Random Reality, Mommy Moments, and "I Wish .." posts each week!

Koalas at The Phoenix Zoo

The Phoenix Zoo got some new visitors and being members we got a sneak peek. Again Thanks to Grandma & Guy-Guy. We LOVE our Zoo Membership.

This is Sookie she is visiting the valley from on loan from the San Diego Zoo.

Our little Joey's

That's an Iguana

Sno Cones were the best treat for a super hot fall day.


Lily dropped hers.

"What color is ma tongue mama?"

Dancing Girlers

The girlers just started another round of dance classes (Thanks Grandma & Guy-Guy)

This is Lillian's first ever dance class.
She was excited.

Izzy is an old pro!

Ready to get dancing!

Flag Football

Jesse made the school's football team this year.
His Jr. high plays flag football and after breaking his wrist, I don't think Jesse was ready to go back to full contact.

Our game time set-up! We're ready.

There he is #21. He is the starting Tight end.


Izzy and Daddy.

Me & Lily.


Go Oakwood Raiders!!
Right now the teams is 2-1.

Chuck-E-Cheese

Apparently we hadn't had enough of Chuck-E-Cheese and needed to go back. Good thing we had some unused tokens and uncashed tickets.

Battle of the Sisters.
(Izzy won, Lily was close)

Lillian not so sure about the ride.

Isabelle loves it.

Something Lily does like, Cotton Candy!

her sister, too!

Izzy's Lost Teeth!

Isabelle just turned 5 and already she's a changin'!

I picked her up from school to find out she had lost a tooth!
Really? I didn't even know one was lose.
She lost it on the playground and before she could put it into a safe place she lost it.
No worries the tooth fairy did come.. we used a piece of corn as the missing tooth's stand-in!

A week after that.. another tooth made its way out of her mouth.
This one she lost in the car on the way home from school. We didn't lose this one.

Izzy Turned 5 and That's No Jive!
