Bye Bye D-backs...

We were so excited we got to the game 2 HOURS EARLY haha. Gunner got 2 balls during batting practice so that was cool!
2 little boys at the ball field. I think Porter wanted to jump out of his seat too. ha.
Cute little Gunner patiently waiting for a ball. He got 2! (and graciously shared with Porter.) Thanks Gunner ! :)
In our sweet shirts!

Well, things have been so busy and weeks are flying by. Porter is taking 16 credits from ASU and cleaning pools part-time while I am busy at good ol' WIC during the week. Then every weekend we have had something exciting to do or company. This last weekend Mark, Marsha and Gunner came down for the D-backs game. Their season is over now but the game Saturday was actually really good and they won! Gunner got free tickets from St. Joseph's Hospital for being a heart patient there just a few months back. It was pretty neat. There were quite a few other patients there in the same section and it was fun to watch Gunner go give his nurses hugs. They were so happy to see how healthy he looks. We are so glad he is doing so well. He is such a fun and good kid. Thank you for sharing your tickets with us Gunner! By the end of the night Gunner had collected free shirts for all of us. He seems to have a way with people! :)

Thank you!

Mom and Bryn watching the boys get the boat ready for all 7 of us!

I have the best friends and family! Thank you to everyone who made my b-day so great! I received so many nice comments, phone calls, and company. Thanks for the post Porter, I never expected that! Porter and I went camping up by Woods Canyon Lake on Friday. We are turning into quite the campers lately. Since Porter started studying foresty at school a few months ago we have been 3 times already. We are getting to be pros and our pretty proud of how fast we can pack up and unpack now! :) He says, that since I studied nutrition and he eats my food I have to camp with him now that he studies forestry. ha. It is pretty fun though, I just hope we don't end up like his teacher who camps 140 days a year! Then Saturday morning Britt and Aaron brought their boat out and meet Porter and I at Woods Canyon Lake and my parents ended up coming too. We had so much fun. Here are a few pics, of course, I didn't take many. Thanks again to everyone! I love you all.

Happy Birthday to My SWEETHEART!!!

Domini,

I have been thinking of a million ways of how to surprise you and be thoughtful for your big day, and one finally came to me. POST ON OUR BLOG. I know it is not that creative but if people knew of my lack a creativity they might understand. + not too many guys post. I think! So I hope this might be somewhat of a surprise b-day present for you. First I would like to say how grateful I am to have you in my life. You are totally awesome and I mean totally. I love you so much. I hope you have a wonderful Day and that you actually make it yours. Being the most selfless person in the whole world, deserves to have her b-day be hers. haha Domini I could only find like two pics of just you for this photo. I think it is my turn to take the some pictures. Maybe glamour shots is another great idea for a b-day present. but I'll ask you before making the appointment with the guy at wal-mart. jaja Love you tons Domini.

AZ Science Center

This weekend tons of fun, thanks to Britt, Aaron and Bryn! We got to hang out all weekend. We ate most meals together, watched a movie, went to the AZ Science Center, and Britt and I went to a jewlery party (where we laughed about how cheap we are... we were probably the only women whos husbands told them to buy whatever they wanted and left empty handed. ha).

Ahhh.. Labor day.

For labor day Monty and Kendra invited us up to camp on Graham Mt. We had tons of fun hanging out with them and thier kids and celebrating Monty's B-day. It rained most of the time but luckily our tent didn't leak. We are lucky we didn't get washed away in it though. We played games, horse shoes, cut down a huge dead tree, went on walks, and ate, a lot! Here are some pics of the boys cutting down the tree and Kendra's families cabin. Then my camera died. :(

Also, Britt and Aaron were nice enough to invite us over to help them eat this big slab of meat yesterday. The boys were pretty excited. What is it with men and meat?

We are so lucky to have such great family and had such a good time with everyone this past weekend.
