Addison at the dentist. She did awesome! She let them take x-rays and clean her teeth. I was surprised but knowing that she got to pick out of the treasure box was enough to keep her going.
Too funny! Addison found a mask at Grandpa Claye's house so she decided to wear it while swimming. Very styling I think.

Chad had the opportunity to play at TPC Scottsdale, home of the FBR (which unless you know golf, Chad says you can't appreciate).

This big rock was moved by the crowd in 1999 to help Tiger Woods make his shot. Looks more like a boulder to me, but hey what do I know.

Chipping in on hole 8

Trophy Wall for the FBR open.


ADDISON'S BIG DAY OF PRESCHOOL!!
(I sure wasn't ready for her to leave, but she was out the door before I could get a tear out.)

Need I say more! CUTE, CUTE, CUTE!

Addison trying to show us her Tinkerbell back pack.

Addison got to make a poster for the first day about her family. Projects already? Just kidding we had fun getting things together.

Carter big day as a KINDERGARTNER!

Showing his new lunch pail.

There was literally a billion parents everywhere. Which is really good but a little overwhelming even for myself. The sun was obviously in his face, better then no picture.

Heading into class! He was so great! Carter didn't cry, but I almost did. I'm so excited for Carter this is a new chapter and adventure in his life. I use to make fun of my mom for telling me how fast we grew up but now I understand. It still feels like it wasn't to long ago I had Carter.

After school. Carter had such a wonderful day at school. I was worried all day on how he would do because he is there from 8:53-3:40 which is a long day for him. Carter loved every minute of his day. I said to Carter "was that a long day." He said "no mom, it was fast." So I worried for nothing. Although he did ask if I missed him all day which of course my reply was yes, but he told me mom you still have Addison.

We made cookies and Addison had a big mess all over her face.

We decided to go to Montezuma Castle in Payson, Arizona this past weekend before Carter's start school which is tomorrow. It was way fun!! We hiked around for awhile and the kids loved it. Although it was 103 it was way cooler than 115.

This is Montezuma Castle. It was really neat to see how they lived back between 1200-1400 A.D. They called it a castle because this particular one could handle up to 100 people. Each level had different purposes. Very interesting how they lived and climbed up to there house each day.



More hiking. Kids getting a little tired.



This is Montezuma Well which is a few miles from Montezuma Castle.

Another dwelling at Montezuma Well. The well is how they irrigated all there crops.
