Phoenix in July

...woah, who can live in that crazy heat. Ben flew to Phoenix over the weekend and I decided to ride along. It was insanely hot there. We spent most of the time in the hotel, and finally ventured outside at 8pm to swim in the pool... Leah was a great traveler, and Noah got to spend the weekend with G-pa and G-ma.. I'm sure he had just as much fun as we did! I think for next months destination we'll choose somewhere a little more cool. We didn't get out of the hotel much, just relaxed in the air conditioning, but on the way back to the airport we snapped a few photos.. it's kind of a funny angle because we only had our luggage to prop the camera on top of..

We've also done some really fun things the last few weeks. Our good friends took us out on their boat. Ben was a pro at wakeboarding, me not so much. I did actually try it, for those of you who know me well, I'm sure you are suprised.:) I only made it up once and it was only for a few milliseconds, Ben said if I just tried again I probably would have been good to go, but the previous attempts had nearly ripped my arms out of their sockets that I was just pretty much done for.. i'm still sore to this day.

Noah had a great time waving and throwing candy at a neighborhood parade on the 24th. We decked his tricycle out with streamers and balloons.. it's so fun to see kids so excited.

we want to try to hit the Dinosaur Museum in Ogden sometime this week or next.. Girls camp is coming up next week.. and Noah has a cavity to be filled next Monday.. oh, and Noah's been doing a little naked piano playing... hope none of my piano students see this, they may want to find a new teacher:) ... he doesn't do this often, in fact we dont' let him run around without any clothes, we just tried a new potty training technic one morning.. didn't work though.
