Goodbye Summer!

The summer came to an end last week with school starting for both Jamie and myself.  Last weekend we went on a family staycation and stayed at The Westin in Scottsdale.  This place is perfect for families!  They have an amazing swimming pool with a lazy river and a water slide.  They also had a splash pad and the resort offered several activities throughout the day for the kids to participate in. Jamie was able to get a special tour of the hotel's kitchen and bake chocolate chip cookies with the chef! They also had an area to play with remote control cars and trucks....this was Jamie's and Jeremy's favorite place to go.  Jordan and I enjoyed the swimming pool and walking around on the property.  It was a wonderful way to spend time together without any outside distractions before the busy school year began.  We look forward to doing this again next summer!

The kids discussing their plans for the weekend.  They decided swimming, swimming and more swimming!

Daddy's Girl!

Jamie is five years old and this is the FIRST time he has ever made Smores.  We are not a camping family at all so I thought it was very appropriate our son was experiencing this at The Westin Resort vs. at a camp fire. 

He was worried about his marshmallow getting too hot.

First bite.....

First bite...I love how she's looking over at big brother to see what he thinks about it.

No thanks....he just took the chocolate piece out and ate that.  He thought the smores were "to messy, mamma."

Pillow fight time!!!!!!!!

I'm going to get you daddy!

This is his expression after I asked him if he had fun baking chocolate chip cookies.  Btw...this is his all time favorite dessert. 

Ready to swim.!  Both of their favorite activities.

Lazy river time.

Jordan preferred to shoot some hoops while the boys played with the cars.

The family......

We were outside on the patio, listening to music and the kids were telling eachother stories.  So cute.

Playing in the pool with the kiddos.

The hotel was very big so Jamie loved being our tour guide each night to our room.  Here he is directing us.
