Hey anyone and everyone I signed Mason up for Soccer this fall through the city of Surprise.

It's Official....

It's official that we have moved back to our home here in Arizona! After a quick trip home over the 4th we decided that we we would rather be home in our HOME then living the apartment life. A few things to confirm this
* No more mad neighbors/knocking on the walls
* The fights over a parking stall
* Carying groceries up two flights of stairs
* Carying two babies up and down two flights of stairs
* Having no friends... :(
* Hearing footsteps until 3am
* Missing my KING size bed
* Smelling what your neighbors cooked for breakfast
* having to close windows due to smokers
* Having to yell at my children to be quiet
* No T.V or cable
* No Bosch to cook with
* No beds for all my kids... so having them sleep on
my bed then moving them to the couch
* No back yard
* No bikes
* No toys for the kids

All in all it's good to be home and it was a great learning experience for us all!
It was great for Dustin to get out of the comfort of our home to get out and sell, California made this possible and thanks to such a great team and group of guys! We owes so much to Casey and his family for taking us under their wing and getting us excited about the whole selling experience!
He continues to selling here in Phoenix and the surrounding area's. The office is trying to build a team for him to manage and he will be in charge of getting them up and going! It has been a blessing in disguise to be home and no longer have to pay rent that was as much as our mortgage! Yikes California is outrageous!! It was a fun little vacation as I would call it and we got to do a few fun things! Even gas prices were to $4.89 a gallon. Not to mention I am sick of driving and we find ourselves content at home not doing a whole lot!

NEVER EAT HERSHEY"S CHOCOLATE AGAIN!!!

Looks Good, right???

DO YOU EAT HERSHEY CHOCOLATE?
We were raised on HERSHEY chocolate as kids and even into adulthood. I will never eat it again. I hope from now on you will throw yours away whenever you are given any . It seems as though nothing is safe to eat anymore. This is what happens when you eat HERSHEY chocolate!
THIS IS A MEDICAL WARNING!!
****It could happen to you, your family and friends!! ******

HERSHEY Chocolate can cause......SMALL FEET!!!!

Warn everyone !!

I have made some major changes in my chocolate intake have you?? And to those of you who don't like it, feel that you are very blessed to never have to experience this MEDICAL PROBLEM!! :)

**Let me know what changes you all have made I do need extra insight in this matter!! **

What a forth of July!!

Where to even start...? We decided to come come to AZ for this weekend to enjoy it w/ family and friends! With Dustin's great knowledge of how hot is has been here in AZ he told me that we would be fine...not to worry about having someone come and turn on our ac so it would be cold when we got there. Well...long story but just to say after a 4 hour drive with sleepy kids and not much patience left we came home to a 98 degree home. Only to try to get it cooled down before my parents, grandmother and brother arrived. We failed at that one...after 5 hours of ac on the downstairs was down a woppin 10 degree's and the upstairs was still at a blazing 95!! Way to hot to even think straight! I am grateful that Dustin came home to help the disaster. Thanks to Kari and Dan, some dear friends we dipped in there pool at 9:30 that night. We soon called the ac people and they told us that it could take up to 24-48 hrs if the house had been cooking to cool down, in AZ sun! Well we were out to save a few bucks, and we did with a $97. aps bill for June...yahoo!! but was it worth it to have such a horrible experience when we got home?? Not in my opinion! Things did look a little better when finally got it to 76 downstairs the rest of the weekend...but as for my room and my bathroom we still have a problem! With ac unit out and it wasn't going to be till wed. before it was up and runnin again! So we wait in the heat and my poor babies have to sleep w/ fans in there rooms to keep cool!

As for the forth we had a family BBQ and then did a few fireworks out on the driveway with good friends Bri and Brandon and little Londy lou. Then after the monsoon had left us with a few rain drops and dusty winds we thought for sure that the stadium wouldn't be setting off there fireworks but we said heck lets just try it out and go see. After we waited for over and hour we saw many cars headed home and got word that they weren't going to be letting them off due to weather we packed up the kiddo's and headed home. It's was 10:15 and getting late for my little ones so we bathed them so fast and off to bed they went. Bri and Brandon had Mason and Chloe with them and too an xtra 15 mins to get home , they had stopped and saw some fireworks after all.
All in all it was a fun, exhausting, busy, crazy, hot holiday the yummy BBQ, chips, homemade oreo balls soda and everything that goes with it... it was so fun to see my great grandma Kempt, my parents and Adam, and as well as Amy Jo and her family! She blessed her baby on Sunday and what a sweet baby boy he is! My parents do start as full time missionaries on July 15. We are excited that they have the opportunity to serve in the local Provo Mission! good Luck Mom and Dad!
As for the good new the AC has came and fixed the ac unit! We will have a little better night for sure! We head back to CA in the morning! :)

Dustin, My grandma Kempt and I got to squeeze in a trip to the mesa temple to celebrate the 33th anniversary of when her and grandpa got sealed. We also got to do a few family names too!

Amy Jo's family the day they blessed sweet baby Sam!
