Wordless Wednesday

4th of July

Happy 236th birthday America!  Hard to believe that we were celebrating the 4th of July in Phoenix, with temperatures only in the 80s!  Daddy went to work early, so the boys and I took advantage of the beautiful weather and took a 2-mile morning run.  It sprinkled on us the whole time and the sun stayed behind the clouds.  Perfect.  We came home and had a special red, white, and blue breakfast, and just spent the day doing stuff around the house and hanging out waiting for Daddy to get home.

Our patriotic pancakes!

When Daddy got home, we had a little afternoon movie time and watched "Field of Dreams" together.  It is one of Daddy's favorite movies and he introduced it to the boys for the first time the previous night.  Needless to say, they couldn't wait to watch it again.  It quickly became one of their favorites too.  After the movie, we ate a quick dinner and headed off to watch our friend Steve and the Centennials play some ball.  We even saw a few firework displays at the stadium. 

My 3 favorite people

After the game, Steve's sweet wife, Brooke, and her girls gave the boys a few sparklers.  We went home and had a little fun with those in the backyard.  Thank you Brooke, Gracie, Lily, and Mia!

   

 

AZ Science Center

Last Saturday Daddy asked the boys how they wanted to spend the day, and they chose to go to the AZ Science Center.  We decided to get the family pass for the year so we could take advantage of it more often.  We had such a great time checking out all of the exhibits and even took in a showing of "Black Holes" inside the planetarium.  

The boys and I decided to take Poppy and Grandma back with us today.  We had a wonderful morning at the Science Center and Poppy and Grandma even treated us to lunch and ice cream at Culver's afterwards.  We are so glad we get to spend so much time with them.  What a great day!
