 Taking the princess on a spaceship ride.

Has upgraded to watercolors now.

Got a package in the mail from a dear friend.  Jamie was in pink heaven!  And completely in love with her new Tinkerbell swimsuit.

 Abby checking out the loot.

 More fun with the sunglasses, tiarra, and jewelry.  Thanks Julie!

Playing dress up at a friends house.  This is the asian, curly brown haired, tan Rapunzel from the movie you didn't see.  When she walked out like this I laughed, loudly.  My sweet little Rapunzel.

 Because Jamie's clothes are much more comfortable than just carpet!

As Pretty as a Picture

Our Dog

 Boy are we going to miss her.  

Splash Pads

We have these things around here called Splash Pads.  They are wonderful things for kids and awesome options for mommies who do not want to go swimming again.....

Princess Jamie

Jamie had a good day today.  Princess Jamie had Cheerios for breakfast.  Then she went swimming, painted, and watched a movie.  

Later we met a friend at the library and she gave Jamie 4 princess dresses her girls had grown out of.  

Jamie is a happy little princess.

Looks like we have a golfer on our hands.  Ok, not.

Maybe a bowler?  Look at that form!  And in flip-flops even.

This is Jambo.

Funny name, cool place.  Jambo is this indoor amusement park and at $16 per kid we have yet to visit it.  But at $8, ok.  Thanks Groupon.  So we went today because my coupon was expiring in 3 days!  Love when I wait until the last minute!

Swings.  So much fun!

Flying elephants not as fun, but still fun.

Train.  Really fun.  

 Mini golfing.  Most fun ever.

Today was fun.  Can you tell?  And Jamie was asleep by 7:45pm to prove it.  

Jamie on our most recent drive to CA.  Headphones on her head, marker on her forehead, chocolate on her lips, baby and blanket in her lap and stickers down her leg.  Good times.

Life is Good

Well, here it is, our new blog!  I am excited to get started on a new adventure in blogging with the goal of being a little more interesting, a little more insightful, and a little more fun.  I blog for a couple reasons but mostly for those that we love, and that love us, who we don't see very often.  And don't worry, it will still be all about the kids!

P. and I started our life together in Grand Rapids, MI and made some amazing friends, had two beautiful children and have some incredible memories of our first 5 years together.  Our old blog, mymichiganlife.blogspot.com, was started the day we found our we were pregnant with Pete.  Boy how time flies.  We made a big move across the country a year and a half ago.  Our life is much different than it was in Michigan but some things haven't changed.  We are still the same happy, fun-loving, energetic, faithful family we were there, just a little warmer.  Well, a lot warmer. 

About a month ago as we were headed out to the pool Pete says to me, "We have to pack our swimsuits for heaven!"  I said, "Oh yea, why?"  He says, "Because I am sure God has a HUGE pool!"  So, here it is, packyourswimsuit.blogspot.com!  The kids say the cutest things and this is one of my absolute favorites. 

One word to sum up our life here in AZ; sunny.  Sunny meaning full of sunlight.  Cheery.  Bright.  We just celebrated the Fourth of July yesterday with swim lessons, naps, party with friends and fireworks with more friends.  It was just another beautiful day in what we call our life.  Follow the new blog and get a glimpse into our days and don't forget to pack your swimsuit!
