Phoenix AZ, Waste Managment Open:)

So one of my many shortcomings where blogging is concerned is that I'm not amazing at taking pictures but it is definatley a goal of mine to be better at so this will be a great weekly reminder to take more pictures and maybe someday you'll see more of our travels than in inside of our motorhome:)
However, despite the lack of pictures there was most certainly not a lack of good times and stories in good ol' Phoenix. Definately a highlight of the week was getting to play with Boyd and Barbara Jean (Danny's brother and his wife) and their adorable three kids. Phoenix was pretty darn cold (well for Phoenix) so much of our activities took place indoors the first few days. Our primary activity being potty training Jack. With much fear and trepidation I decided that waiting for us to be home for any length of time wasn't going to happen so we just went for it. We got him some big boy underware and camped out at home for a couple days and really pretty painlessly, he's pottytrained for the most part. I think it helped that he's a little older and really motivated by his hatred of diapers. So there you have it...


Another adventure was on Friday night when Danny and Jack went to the Sun's basketball game with Boyd and Preston. Jack was in heaven mastering the "defense" chant and even yelling at the ref over a lousy call. While he had so much fun being a big boy he paid for it the next day when he had no voice:) While the big boys were at the game Barbara Jean and I took her two youger ones and Patton to Peter Piper Pizza for some good fun and gormet pizza. Patton and Cam (my nephew) couldn't get enough of the action-packed mini carosel....oh baby!
The adventures continued on Saturday when we learned first hand the reason why the tournament is sponsered by Phoenix Waste Management (ok that's a little harsh). I don't think I've ever seen so many "wasted" people in my life (ok bad pun). We decided it would be a good tournament to take the boys out to since really they were quieter and better behaved than most of the adults out there:) So we're walking through a herd of drunk ASU students when this girl sit on my stroller...with Patton in it. The amazing thing was that she just kept on sitting until her friends pulled her off. I have to admit I wasn't quite sure what to do I hadn't ever had anyone sit on my baby before. For your peace of mind Patton was just fine just a little frightened and smooshed...welcome to the Phoenix Open:) It really was a fun tournament to be at though and Danny played pretty well on Saturday and just barely missed a put on the last hole to make the cut. Disappointing to miss it by so little but these are the moments every golfer lives for.
So on to the next week and the next city... until then live it up!!!

EM! Your boys are so cute! I love that picture of Patton...he looks like he's doing some kind of shimmy with his dancin' shoes on. :) So CUTE!

I don't believe you when you say you don't take enough pictures. You seem to have a pretty good habit established, at least it seems to me!
I'm glad about the potty training and the fun. So sorry about the darn put! Tell Danny good luck with the next tournament. We miss you guys... :)
