Fourth of July Camping Trip

We headed up north to our favorite camping spot at Hutch Mountain. It was so cool up there... was hoping for some rain but that didn't happen :( It was still great just getting out of the 110 + heat down in Phoenix. We always have so much fun with our friends the Lees. The girls just keep themselves entertained all day long. The only down fall to the trip were NO FIRES! The girls were bummed without sitting around the campfire playing all the campfire games and the smores. They seemed to keep themselves busy at night playing other games and going on night ranger rides with the dads... too cold for me. On Sunday we went into Mormon Lake to watch their annual 4th of July Parade... we have been camping at Hutch for over 15 years and had no idea they had a parade and fireworks every year. No fireworks this year on the account of the fires in Flagstaff 8( Monday we played washer tournaments and I think we did this 3 times.. picking new partners each time. It is always a fun time and the kids are so competitive hoping they get a good partner 8). We left after dinner Monday night... although we did have a blowout on the trailer... luckily we were only about 10 miles from home and it didn't cause any damage, except replacing the shredded tire.

Weekend of Softball

Tori's team started the AGS tournaments on thursday night and played again Friday night and then again 3 games on Saturday night. Taylor played in a qualifiier on Saturday and Sunday. Luckily the fields were just a few miles from each other. :)
On Monday AGS had their closing ceremonies and ice cream social. It was a good season and now get a break from Tori playing until Fall.

Taylors team won the tournament and they qualify for Nationals in Moline, Illinois in August.

Wisdom Teeth

Taylor had to get all four of her wisdom teeth pulled on Wednesday. I had to wake her up at 6:30 to eat breakfast. She wasn't allowed to eat after 7:00 am since her surgery was at 3:00 that afternoon. Of course she wasn't that hungry when she woke up but 2 to 3 hours later she was starving :/ I had to give her xanax 1 hour before to relax her.... Only after 30 minutes she was buzzing and was silly. I had to help her out of the truck when we got to the Dr. office. She didn't even remember getting her IV or me leaving the room.. LOL!! After her surgery she kept wanting to take her lip out of her mouth.... she thought it was the gauze. Well she did great all night long and woke up looking like Chip. She was very frustrated because she couldn't eat for several days. I think 4 days later she finally ate a cheeseburger but she had to smash it flat as a pancake to get it in her mouth. Well she is glad that is over with and now has the rest of the summer to have FUN!!!
