Fun in the AZ sun

Through tears and me crying, we decided to sell our trailer. Camping is one of my favorite things to do in the whole world. It's so peaceful and nice to slow down and take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. However, the hustle and bustle isn't so easy to break away from anymore and trying to find a weekend to slow down is almost impossible. So, I waved goodbye to the trailer and in return we purchased a ski boat. We were very nervous about it at first, but I have to say it has been so much fun. It's a family activity we can do with all three kids and all three different ages. Finding an afternoon (rather than an entire weekend with camping) is much more feasible so it has been a fun way to beat the Arizona heat. All the kids have taken up wakeboarding and Brendon has gotten really good at wakesurfing.

Hunter loves to dance and groove on the back of the boat before jumping in the water

Love my boys!

What can I say about this picture other than I completely love and adore this guy!

Soccer Camp in Flagstaff

Well, I did it! This overprotective mommy agreed to an overnight camp for Madison in Flagstaff and I survived! Madison did too, in case you were wondering. :)

She attended English soccer camp in Flagstaff for an entire week with some of her Ahwatukee club team players. They stayed in the dorm rooms and took coaching lessons from english accent coaches. They played close to eight hours of soccer a day, but all of them had a wonderful time and met a ton of new friends. I think I heard Madison speak with an english accent for weeks after she came home.
