SHOW LOW TOURNY

driving in show low 1st day...
The past few years Justin and a few buddies have played in the SHOW LOW SOFTBALL TOURNAMENT, about 4 or 5 FAMILIES go up and stay with, the ever so gracious, Dewy DeWitt's parents! They have an amazing home and let us bombard their basement for a few days! So here is a lil of how the weekend went!

PART 1

THE GIRLS CHEERING ON THE BOYS!

Except poor Shanna who has twin 1 yr old boys, didn't get to sit much during the games, she was too busy doing this...

We were lucky enough to get the field that had a play ground close by for the kids...

















BACK AT THE HOUSE CAMI WORKED HER INCREDIBLE TALENT WITH KIDS AND PLAYED WITH THEM FOR HOURS
{this was just the begining, she played games, sang songs, watched movies}
after all the games and fun paris was having with Cami, I made her come take a bath before they put on the movie, as I was getting her ready she tells me

"mom I have decided you need to be funner"

do you just want a new mommy?

"nope just you be funner"

AND THEN SHE
PUTS THEM ALL TO SLEEP

{she did put them ALL to sleep but he was out first and this is the only pic I got ...}
MAN SHE IS THE GREATEST!

PART 2
Who could resist this guy...

nice boots Mark

ALL OF US CAMPED OUT AGAIN!

LOTS OF SLEEPING BABIES!


Tustin's first time allowed to play in the dirt! He would dig and show me and dig some more. I thought for sure he would put it straight to his mouth but he actually didn't, the only time he would put anything in his mouth is when he got a twig or a rock or something different. He sure did love getting dirty, crawling every where!
BREAK TIME

While waiting till the next game Cami and her mom took the kids out on a
NATURE WALK

where they hunted for BEARS!
All the kids just LOVED it! You could hear them out there in the woods chanting and singing and then you can hear them all SCREAM! To scare the bears of course! It was super cute and loads of fun, Paris couldn't stop talking about it and wouldn't let go of her pinecone she found all the way home! So much fun!

GAME OVER...WE WON! {D division} lol don't tell!

DA TEAM

CHEESECAKE!

THANKS GIRLS (AND J WHO GOT OFF EARLY SO I WOULDN'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE CHILDREN )

FOR A GREAT FAMILY LUNCH AT THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY!

OH AND ANNIE WHO'S PRACTICALLY FAMILY

AND FOR MY BIRTHDAY PARIS WANTED US TO BE TWINNERS! USUALLY I DON'T THINK THIS SORT OF THING TO SO CUTE BUT I COULDN'T RESIST... I'VE SAID IT BEFORE AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN...I JUST LOVE THIS GIRL!

OH YA...

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE!

Funny we BOTH forgot or maybe we BOTH are just unsure which to celebrate...;)

LOVE YOU

GROUP DATE

The Gang got together last Friday Night for a little group date!

We all met up at Buffalo Wild Wings in Gilbert

where it was confirmed we are now "old"

the music was so loud none of us could hear each other

instead of it being cool it was annoying...

Then we headed over to the Bowling Alley for a little cosmic bowl

The BOYS of the Night

*thx for that Mark

The GIRLS of the Night*thx for that Ryan

check out the form in the background

Speaking of Form

check out these

Some how *Heidi* all the pics of Tawni and her sweet form got erased!
I do have to say the night was full of so much laughing our cheeks were sore

it's been a long time we all have laughed so hard!

These are some of my FAVE pics from the night!

unfortunatly the *other DeWitt fam had to leave early

it wasn't the same with out you guys really...

reason #2; not many pics of them ;)

Ryan laughing with the best of us


i just like these pics bc they are genuine smiles

Heid this might be my

all time fave of the night

Funny Story

Here is Mark

King of Pranks

his friends usually the victim of most pranks

Mark HATES attention on him

so tonight I thought it would be a fabulous idea

to have the DJ give a happy 30th BDAY

shout out to Mark Goodman

(it is not his bday nor is he 30)

It's just funny right!?!?!

Heidi you were ALL for it

Marissa, i know you had nothing to do with it! ;)

So I go put in my request and come back to the group...

Never let Heidi in on things, she is not a good liar

she tells the other boys what is going on, who then proceed to give me the

BIGGEST GUILT TRIP EVER

so I go to retract my request

little did i know that mark had already figured it out

and cancelled the request

*here is the funny part*

if you were there you would know

as I am talking to the guy telling him I would be in so much trouble

if the announcement was made

MARK IS STANDING RIGHT BEHIND ME

I turned around to see Mark and SCREAMED!

I seriously almost passed out

JOKES ON ME!

Well Mark my Blog...

THANKS FOR A FUN NIGHT GUYS LETS DO IT AGAIN REAL SOON

Easter Afternoon started off at Aunt Faith's house...

Lining up at the back door to go find what the easter Bunny left behind!

Part of the Fam that was there...

Mara and her sweet Ethan, Joe giving Faith some love, and lil Tustin with Gma!

HAPPY EASTER FROM TUSTIN AND MOMMY

Now the Evening at the DeWitt's!

Look at this little man and his first easter egg hunt...

Paris and Cade got a head start before all the big kids and she was LOVING IT!

Dad helped Find and Collect the eggs and mom helped count and find all the YUMMY candy!

LUVS

UNCLE BRAD PLAYING WITH KIDDOS!

TUSTIN AND HIS GRANDPA

ENDING THE DAY WITH A GINORMOUS EGG SHAPED SUCKER!

DISNEY LAND

First I have to say THANKS Shelley for planting the seed that bloomed into this Disney Land trip! We had SO much fun! It's beginging to look a lot like summer...Cali is the place to be!

Our first stop, straight to down town Disney! Us and all the kiddos shopped till we dropped and then filled our bellies with some grub!

AFTER, WE WENT TO THE BEACH!






I absolutely LOVE this pic. this is NOT Paris this is my new fave 3 year old, Tatum! I don't know what, when or how but we were buds this trip! Aw Tatum I MISS ya luv!

I LOVE HOW THE GIRLS ARE ALL RUNNING AWAY FROM THE WATER COMING IN AND PARIS IS STILL RUNNING TOWARD THE WAVE! (typical ;) ) But there are consequences to ALL actions right...
haha NOT lovin it so much anymore! She played chicken with the wave and the wave WON!
although she did get right back out there this only lasted a moment!

Melis & I.... Shelley & I
LOVE THESE GIRLS
WHAT A NIGHT!

DISNEY LAND!!!!!!

So last time Paris went to D.L. she loved the tea cups, this time not as much! She did like finding Nemo Submarine and kept thanking me for getting her a stroller. (last year I think we can get away with a stroller)

This year she LOVED the roller coasters! They didn't "drop fast enough" if she were just a bit taller she would have had a blast on the bigger roller coasters! Looks like we will be making a trip to six flags some day!

How stinkin cute is this pic...

Come on Tatum you know you were having a fabulous time! ;)

honestly I really am not sure who had more fun

the kids or Shelley!

Paris meeting the Fairies, Goofy and MICKEY MOUSE...

we ended the day with the parade

and all the kids were out like a light!

We then drove home the San Diego way and played on the BEACH

& rode a few more rides at Belmont Park before heading home!

***There is NOTHING sweeter than the PURE JOY on my babies face when she is TRULY enjoying herself! It was such a great time to spend one on one time with my girl! To watch her play and run around on the beach! To listen to her squeel in excitment on a ride! When you can't help yourself but to SMILE when she Laughs her contagious Laugh! These are the MOMENTS LIFE is worth LIVING for!***

GOING BACK TO CALI! ;)

READY BABY GIRL YOUR GOING TO MEET SOME OF THE BEST CHARACTERS IN YOUR WORLD! (buddy you'll be there too you just won't remember) OH AND LETS NOT FORGET YOU GET TO REUNITE WITH THIS...

life is good
