Arizona Room Camp Out

Tragically the fan on our AC unit bit the dust yesterday evening...I guess thats what we get for keeping the AC so low all the time (thank you Solar Panels) ;)

Luckily we have a little AC unit out in the Arizona room/Emerys play room soooo we blew up the air mattress and camped out there last night! It was fun....sort of. :) We tried to make the best of the situation and I think we did a pretty good job!

Funny though, the highlight of the whole thing....

I said to Morgan "well at least you'll get to watch Sports Center from in bed!" and he said "I know!! I'm kind of excited about it...is that weird?"

Emery thought it was the coolest thing ever to get to sleep in her play room...

Potty Time!

We took the potty training plunge Tuesday...

Our baby isn't a baby anymore...bye bye diapers!

Hello panties!!

Honestly...its bitter sweet...I kind of miss my diaper baby (and the convenience of them...) and sometimes I think, am I crazy? Am I trying this too early???

But she's been doing really well so far! She's been dry every morning all week, only one accident yesterday and none so far today...so we're going to keep going and see how it goes! And seriously, seeing her cute bummy in panties makes all the potty trips and isolation (we haven't left the house in a couple days) worth it!! We can do this...

Pew Beach Week 2010

We were lucky enough to visit our favorite beach in Oxnard for a second time this summer! Yay!

It was sooooo nice to be back on the beach and in a sweater again...

This time we got to spend the week with the Pew side (and the "beach week" friends) :)

Quite the contrast going from 16 little kids in one house to 3! We were spoiled this week to say the least...

Nobody I think as much as Emery though...

she got "a bite" of just about anything she wanted no matter who was eating it (sorry everyone especially Gpa, she's a mooch what can I say)...

got to play with all of Ayson and Maceys toys (thank you Aysonpants for sharing)...

took naps on the beach...

stayed up as long as she wanted...

slept in...

played "ouside" with her cousins aaallll day...

and the list goes on...

Emery got so tired out on the beach and was having the hardest time going "nigh night" until her daddy came and laid down next to her and then she was out like a light...

Our new tradition thanks to Courtney...the Underwood Family Farm in Moorpark

Ayson got to go on a pony ride and Macey got to pet one but Emery didn't want anything to do with either...

The rest of the day was full of feeding animals, practicing our animal sounds, a train ride and lots and lots of fun

The rest of the week was spent having a blast on the beach...

Morgan and I did escape Wednesday with Dallin, Lissa, Jake, Kaylee and Bailey to Santa Barbara so the boys could play Sand Piper . Us girls shopped till our feet hurt and then met the boys for dinner...

Thank you Grandma and Papa for watching our widdle widdle :) And and even bigger thanks to those same two wonderful people for the entire trip in general...THANK YOU!!!

And another thanks...to my more than amazing mother...

Our tired little family pulled up to our house Friday night to a freshly mowed lawn...freshly planted flowers, all the dead ones pulled out...and these on my kitchen table...

I mean seriously...what a lady right??

Thank you for the thousandth time mom...we LOVE LOVE LOVE you!!
