i*swerrr...

i totally owe you some serious blogging. and ashley... i know i owe you pics of Salvation Mountain, but with the AZ Heat in the 110+ degrees all week long... I've been crazy-busy! So, while I pinky-promise to blog and post eye candy galore as soon as possible (like, within a week) I will leave you with these little tid'bits...

• 4th of July was super fun. Fireworks in Anthem on 7/3 (pics to come). 7/4 bbq at mom & dads. we had to watch the business while jeff & kelly were in minnesota (for a family reunion-esque thing) so paul pretty much worked the whole time, but it was all good.
• last weekend took kids to CA for their annual two weeks with Granny & Grumpy. this year they invited jake (my nephew) to come too. we stopped off at Salvation Mountain on the way (okay actually it was a good hour drive out of the way, then hour drive back) but SOOO worth it and I can't wait to go back (in the cooler weather. hehe) again... pics to come.
• had this past week with no kids which you would totally be like 'woohoo' and usually under normal circumstances it is... however i don't consider 113 degrees normal and paul and i have been putting in some loooong (10+) hour days. cross your fingers this weekend he doesn't have to work (he's going on 20 days with no day off) and we can 'date'. lol
• no real set in stone plans for the weekend. but we'd like to get to cabelas (for a friends and family invite only sale) and downtown glendale for some vintage shopping (looking for a particular cookie jar.. i know, needle in a haystack, but its about the hunt, not the find... okay, not always. hehe) we plan on going to Ebisu for sushi, Buffalo Wild Wings for the best wings ever :), and i really really want to see these movies:

What are YOU doing this weekend??
