Our weekend Fun!

After picking up the kids from school on Friday we jumped in the car and told them we were going somewhere. Megan being the curious one of course noticed the suitcases packed in the back. They were full of questions! We ended up at the AZ Grand Resort in Phoenix. They were so excited. We spent a few hours at their Oasis Water park and then to dinner and then back to the room to crash. They did not crash. All the kids were so tired but could not go to sleep. Here are a few of the fun pictures from our trip!
Carson was so tired and ready for a nap.

The three silly kids

Megan coming off the big slide

Rylan playing in the water splashers

Carson just chilling. I learned he is quite the bully with a pool full of kids.

He loved the wave pool.

Trying to get a little rest!

Watching a movie before bed!

Plug that nose Carson!

Isn't this a cute picture. They loved the lazy river together.

Austin going down the big slide.

All in all we had a great time. It was fun to surprise the kids and do something way out of the ordinary. Mom and dad learned we need a major dose of patience. Anybody know where to get some??

CRAZY HARMONS

Richard and I are the proud parents of 4 beautiful kids. We have been married almost 11 years and have grown to love each other more each day. It's amazing how much more you can love a person as the years roll by. Through trials and tuff times we have learned and grown together. We love, love, love our time alone together and so appreciate a weekend getaway or especially a 7 day cruise! We can admit we are not the best parents but we sure appreciate the opportunity God has given us to have such amazing kids. We learn so much about ourselves through them. What we are and who we want to become. We learn patience is something we both continually have to work on! The kids just adore their dad and love to go run errands with him on Saturdays. We love the sand dunes and love our many winter trips there camping, riding, and spending time together. Did I mention how perfect Richard and I are together and how much in love we are? We often say we have the perfect marriage!!! Gotta love life =)

Kids

Megan is our sweet and happy oldest and only girl. She is 10 and in the 5th grade. She brings lots of spunk and energy to our family and we are so lucky to have her! She never runs out of energy and keeps us always busy. She enjoys school and friends! Mom and Megan enjoy our ever needed girls night out together. She likes to Karaoke to Hannah Montana, dance around and be wild, swim, and of course ride quads at the dunes.

Austin is younger but taller than Megan and very proud of that. He is 9 and in the 4th grade. He is awesome in school and reads very well. Austin isn't quite as wild as the rest of the kids which mom is thankful for. He has his quiet times where we will find him in his room playing quietly. He enjoys playing the wii especially their new game Lego Star Wars which he and Rylan are getting quite good at. Austin is a joy to have in our family!

Rylan is 7 and the cutest kid in glasses ever! He has had a lazy eye since he was about 2 and still wears his glasses to keep it straight. He is in the 1st grade at Ben Franklin and doing really well. He loves being a boy and had his first broken arm. Rylan is so sweet and lovable. He tells us he loves us quite often. Don't get me wrong he can be quite the stinker too, but aren't they all! He idolizes his dad and wants to always be helping him especially on the quads or the truck, trailor, or anything outside. Rylan still loves to play with his trucks and cars and probably always will . . . just like dad!

Carson oh Carson, what do I say about my sweet baby Carson. He keeps me going all the time. He is now 5 and getting really tall. He loves his preschool class which he gets to take the short bus to (don't laugh we always knew Richard would have a kid that does)! He is an angel at school and most loved by all his teachers of course. Mom can't believe he will be going to Kindergarten this fall! He keeps us laughing all the time and says the funniest things. Carson is full of energy and keeps mom busy!
