4th of July FUN!

We had a great 4th of July. Grandma & Grandpa and the Rogers came over for the annual Olsen neighborhood parade. The kids decorated their transportation of choice and then we joined the neighborhood parade. We ate lunch at Rudy's and had a relaxing afternoon. Jake, Judd, James & I met some friends at the Colonies 4th of July celebration that night. It was so much fun. We had hamburgers and watched the fireworks. The kids ran around and jumped in the bouncers. It was a great night. (Thanks Stacy & Brian.)

VACATION - SO FUN!!!

Fun at the Fairmont Princess Resort
in Scottsdale, Arizona

What did you love most about your vacation?

Judd: jumping in the pool, going down the water slide, water gun fights with Will, diving with Wilson, and swimming to Daddy

Jake: the outside mall with rock climbing, the water slide, the dads being the monster in the pool, watching a movie in the pool at night in a giant floatie, and fishing

Julie: laying by the pool, the cabana boy bringing food and drinks, swimming laps with Brooke and Su, the water slide, shopping, no cooking or laundry, and Sprinkles cupcakes

James: playing in the pool with Jake and Judd, water slide, eating at "In & Out Burger," hanging out with friends

My favorite boys in the whole wide world!

The resort had a fishing pond. The dads and kids fished one morning while the moms went shopping. Everybody caught a fish!

Judd is serious about the fishing!
