Friday, February 27th was Desert Mountain Elementary School's carnival. My mom is a first grade teacher at DME. For $10 Sawyer got a wristband and was able to play all the games and do all the bouncy's. Every time you played a game, you got a stamp on your passport. When your passport was full you got to trade it in for a prize. There was all kinds of food and fun to be had. The boys had a really great time. Thatcher was free because he is only 2 and he even got to play some games!! It really is getting to be tons of fun now that the boys are getting older and are able to participate in more activities. Sawyer was so big, he looked like one of the students!!
They even had a little bouncy house for Thatcher to jump in.
This was the first year that he was able to do the BIG moon bounce obstacle course by himself.

I love it when I can find fun, affordable things to do with the family. Pat had off this weekend (YEA!!) so I thought it would be fun to get together with my cousin Stuart and his family. His daughter Opal is one of the kids favorite cousins. We decided to meet at the McCormick-Stillman Railroad Park in Scottsdale. We had so much fun. For $10 we got 12 tickets. We were able to take rides on the big train, the little steam engine train and 2 rides on the carousel!! We had a nice picnic lunch and got some ice cream as a treat. The whole day cost $13!! Got to love it!! The weather was beautiful, although it was a tad windy. Luckily Stuart had thought to bring a kite. We had so much fun and can not wait to plan our next trip.
Sawyer all ready to play!!
The big train.
Opal and Sawyer sat in the back, the cargo area!! I know Sawyer with have never done this by himself. When he first got in he said, "Hey guys... it's a little bit scary in here." But he said it was "super fun" when he got out!

We all got ice cream and Pat offered Thatcher (who was supposed to be sharing mine) a bite of his cone. Next thing you know, Thatcher totally stole it!! We kept telling him it was Daddy's but he kept saying, "No, my ice cream. So yummy!"
