Playground fun!

Later, we headed to golf and stuff.  We rode the bumper boats.  They were tons of fun.  Bennett was the little devil, he squirted all of us and had complete joy doing so!  Goof.

Since he couldn't ride the go karts (which broke his little heart), he got to ride this:

Bianca wasn't quite big enough either but we talked the guy into it, so here we are!

Funny note from the next morning.  Bennett woke up and told me he was a little bigger and asked if he could ride the go karts yet.  Poor boy!

We headed to Sabino Canyon today and took the trolley up the canyon/mountain area. Talk about pure beauty. We really loved this part of the trip. The sites were awesome and the weather was perfect.

Annika on the way up!

Isn't nature just amazing?

Me on a rock.

We spent some time at the pool later and dude was just chillin'.  He knows how to relax, that's for sure.

Today was our last day in Scotsdale so we were pretty lazy. We spent a long, long time by the pool then spent some more time with gma and gpa.  We were all pretty tired after dinner so we hit the hay early!

Day 3 of our trip, really the 2nd official day in AZ. We spent the day at the McCormick Train Park then off to the pool to soak in the sun! 

After drying off, we went to pick some oranges and spend some time with the grandparents again.  It was a great day!

Great Grandpa watching 2 generations...

Great Grandma teaching Bianca to putt.

We took off to Arizona today, our flight was scheduled to leave at 9:30pm, but of course didn't take off until closer to 10pm. The kids were so excited to go. They were ready to hit the road, that's for sure!

Neeks at the airport.

Dude waiting patiently.

Bianca and I got to sit in first class.  She and I loved it!  Can't complain one bit!  She looks pouty here, but she was just ready to take off!

Bennett didn't sleep at all on the plane, this is on the bus to the rental car station.  He was just happy to be on the bus.  This is at about 1 am!

Bianca looking cute and "helping" me get ready for my Norwex party on Sunday.

Awwww, aren't they cute?

All my Norwex goodies!  Love it!

1. Kids cleaning set: dusting mitt, envirocloth, window cloth

2. My stash of envirocloths

3. Laundry Detergent (love this stuff, this bag will last me 500 loads!)

4. Rubber Brush (to clean the dog hair out of the stairs and to clean my mops)

5. Mattress Cleaner (to rid the mattresses and pillows of allergens and dustmites)

6. Descaler (the environmentally friendly version of CLR)

7. Dish Soap (I love this stuff, gets my wine glasses shiny and clean)

8. Spirosponge (for cleaning tough on grease!)

9. Sprinettes (like brillo pads but better)

10. Kitchen Cloth Set (to replace my stinky dish rags, love these!)

11. Window Cloths (combined with my envirocloths, these babies get my windows cleaned in no time flat!)

12. Dryer Balls (eliminates the need for nasty dryer sheets)

13. Wet and dry mop (love this, best invention ever!)

14. Dusting Mitts (so great for quick dusting)

15. Bathroom Scrub Mitt

16. Car Cloth (for Brian)

17. Dish Cloth

OOH, I noticed I missed the body pack, on the lower left hand side.  This stuff rocks.  My face has never been better using just these and water.  I am a walking testimonial!

All the door prizes for my party on Sunday!  Looks like some great stuff!

OK, sharing time is over!

Bennett helping out with the chores using his kids dusting mitt from Norwex! Love that the kids can help and I don't have to worry about them getting chemicals in their eyes, or inhaling them!

I picked up a few things for the kiddos for Arizona today and of course Annika had to try her new dress and flip flops on. Doesn't it make you dream of summer? And isn't she cute?

And here is my new baby. I've been wanting to upgrade for about a year now and I finally took the gigantic plunge! So far, I love it! It's much faster, but that's because I haven't filled it to the brim yet!

Today after school, 2/3 of my kids chose more educational activities to participate in.

Bennett chose a game.

 

Annika chose books.  I also need to mention that this little Kindergartner is a reading machine.  She is taking such pride in her reading skills, it's just amazing to me.  She just loves to read too, which is a bonus!

 

And then there is Bianca.  She chose the iPad.  At least she chose a book to read on there, right?
