Are we crazy?

You probably do think I'm crazy for going to Phoenix in July, but I had a good reason. I promise! My dear, sweet, wonderful, bestest friend (and sister-in-law) had an extra ticket to the American Idol Concert which kicked off it's tour in Phoenix. I was sooooo there. The two boys and I hopped on a plane to go spend last week with the Meadows.

Even though I got sick the morning of the concert, it was totally worth it to go. My favorite was, of course, David Cook, but little David, Brooke White and Micheal Johns were also pretty amazing. Most every one I really enjoyed. There were a couple that struggled and were lack-luster (I bet you could guess who they were), but over all the concert was a very cool experience. We even got to meet the Pop Tart! (Aren't we lucky?)


The boys had a great time, as always. Here's one of the things they can do together without fighting: watching tv!!


We defintely needed to swim, because it was so hot. Tyler was a little afraid of the deep water so he hung out in the boats for awhile. Janna finally conviced him to be brave and after a little work, he was doing great in the pool.


Brayden ate plenty of ice while we were there, trying to stay cool!


Can you tell it's the hottest weather Tyler's ever experienced? (Check out how red his face is!)


Tyler was very excited to go to Chuck E Cheese with Ethan. He's been talking about it for months, ever since we went for Ethan's birthday, so it was fun to suprise the boys with an evening of fun.


I don't have any pictures of the 4th of July because it was pretty laid back. We attended a fabulous breakfast, then played with an adorable puppy, then watch Ethan and Dave perform in a very cool patriotic show. That night we put the boys to bed and watched the fireworks on tv.

Aside from those things, we also went to a movie, watched Ethan at swim lessons (Tyler loves to say chicken...star..........ROCKET!), ate macaroni and cheese with hot dogs (a must whenever Janna and I are together!) and just hung out and played a lot.

We had a great time and plan on going back sometime in the winter next time...... :)
