Day 263, November 8th

Tuesday I had a Kids Walk out in Florence and had all the intention in the world to stop by and vote on my way back to the office after it was over.  Well, the day ran away from me, and next thing I knew I was at home, staring at my blank ballot and feeling less than Patriotic!  Sorry Government, I'll get you next time!

Day 205, September 11th

Sunday was really a day of not too much excitement. It was the first day of football, so that was really how Ryan spent his day.  I did some chores around the house, read a little and we headed out to the grocery store.
We had some bananas that were on their last leg, so I made some banana nut muffins for the week.
Since it is the 10 year anniversary of September 11th, we had taped all the specials on during the day, and spent the night watching some of them.  It was actually quite a depressing night, and I'm not sure why we did it, but it was a reminder of that day, and how awful that tragedy really was.

Day 136, July 4th

Happy 4th of July!

Wahoo favorite holiday!! We woke up on Monday and made some patriotic crepes for breakfast! While we ate, we rocked the patriotic tunes which I really wish we did every morning to be totally honest!

After breakfast, I made up my treat for the party and then got ready for the day!

We headed to my mom's house for the annual party, and it was a fantastic day! We had a good time hanging in the pool and chatting with everyone!!
While the party started to die down, Ryan and Heath took a snoozer and us ladies got ready to hit Tempe for the fireworks show.

We headed to Tempe, with no real time to spare and watched the wonderful fireworks show.  I will admit, I was a touch disappointed in the music selection this year.  I mean they played God Bless the USA third! That's a closer...everyone knows that!! Having to work the next day really dampers the evening, they really should give us the day after the 4th off.  Hopefully the Government reads this and does so!!  Overall, another wonderful celebration of America in the books! 

Day 72, May 1st

Sunday morning, we woke up, checked out of the hotel and decided to walk down around our hotel, get some breakfast and take in San Fran before we headed back to Phoenix.  We walked around and took pictures in Union Square, Ryan is an artsy dude every now and again and he captured this photo.

After breakfast and window shopping we headed across the bridge to return our car and return home.  We had a nice flight home, made an origami animal which didn't actually look like what it was supposed to be, and landed in P-town early afternoon.
When we got home, we of course loved up on our kids, then I unpacked, and repacked to head off to Merr and Patrick's house for a week of house sitting.
I headed to Chandler to hang out with the fur girls, and finally watched the Royal Wedding...ah so beautiful and traditional and amazing!! I was watching on Fox News, and when it was over, the President broke in with the announcement that Osama Bin Laden had been captured and killed! Wonderful news for the world!! I knew Ryan wouldn't be watching anything that will break with this news, so I gave him a call to make sure he wasn't the only person Monday out of the loop!! :) After I got off the phone with Ryan, I hit the hay and got ready for the week ahead!! We had a wonderful weekend of celebrations and we are so happy for the newly married couple, well both, Will and Kate and of course Alex and Heather!
