Happy Father's Day 2016

All the Arizona Dad's got real lucky this year as we had 120 degree temps on Father's Day. I hope Justin still had a good day despite the heat. We had some birthday celebrations in the morning so we celebrated Father's day with a pizza dinner at Mellow Mushroom. We haven't been there in forever and I love that crust so much! Of course, cold beers were also involved. The NBA finals game was on but we don't really care about basketball. It was a little shocking to get in the car at 7:30 p.m. after dinner and it was still 115 out but hopefully we get some monsoon rains in soon (so then I can complain about the humidity). We got Justin a bunch of little small gifts and several homemade gifts and he was already wearing his new sneakers so I think we did good. He was also able to sneak in a kid free trip to home depot on Sunday so that probably made his day, haha! We love Justin and all that he does for our family. We definitely made out in the dad department! Happy Father's Day!

 

Daddy Daughter Date

Last Friday night Justin planned a date night for him and Everly. CityScape in downtown Phoenix does a free movie night once a month and last Friday it was Finding Nemo in preparation for the sequel, Finding Dory coming out this week. It sounds like it would be really hot but it was slightly overcase and Everly got to play in the splashpad before eating dinner and watching the movie so Justin said it actually wasn't that bad. They got their early and got a seat in the front but it was actually a little loud so if you ever go to one, sit farther back. Justin also treated Everly to some frozen yogurt after the movie so she was really excited. I had a soccer game that night so my mom watched Aspen during my game and we all got home around the same time. I really enjoy my one on one time with Everly shopping and running errands but Justin doesn't always get as many of those opportunities so I am really glad they got to have this time together. She is at a really fun age right now and lucky that she has a great Papa that wants to spend time with her.

Love these two!

Happy Anniversary

Today Justin and I are celebrating our 5 year anniversary. We are currently in Portland, Oregon on a trip that I feel like we have been planning/waiting for since we got back from our honeymoon, haha. I am sure I will have lots to post about next week. I absolutely loved our wedding day and love our wedding photos. I love going back and looking through them each year. 5 years and 2 kids later and I think we are doing pretty awesome. The fact that we committed to taking this trip and making it happen is a big deal in itself. Thankfully my mom is helping and staying at our house and shuttling our kids around. We have some pretty awesome family that has been willing to help out so we could take this trip. To be honest with you, looking back I didn't how good of a choice I was making 5 years ago. As each year passed and our family grew I have gotten to know Justin more and more. I am pretty lucky to have found such a great husband and father. We have now been together for over 8 years and it seriously feels like it has flown by. Crazy! So glad to be sharing my life with my best friend.

Happy Birthday Justin!

Today Justin turns 32! We are leaving today for our 5th Anniversary trip to Portland so it should be a fun birthday for him too. Justin never makes a big fuss over his birthday or really anything to do with himself. He always puts all of our needs/wants before his own and we appreciate all that he does. He is out numbered in our house by some crazy ladies and we are so grateful that he puts up with us. I think we are worth it, but we are definitely very lucky to have him. We will celebrate with family next weekend and to be honest, all he really wants for his birthday is the Cardinals to win, but we will for sure be enjoying some kid-free food and beer tonight and sleeping in tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Justin!
