I just wanted to tell everyone of this new great site I was referred to by my cuz and it's great. I go on every few days to check out new and exciting things to do here in the valley, and since I am a new comer and clueless about all the fun activities available, it is such a great resource. It is called www.iheartmesa.blogspot.com There is also a link here on the right! Check it out! It's great!
This is an incredible list made by a fellow blogger about all the wonderful things that are free on your birthday in Mesa...It is stock full of all the different things you can get for free on or around your birthday. It is great because it means we get to celebrate all month long! Alot of these are here in AZ, but there are still some that are available in other areas.

Okay, I really do have a lot to blog about, but actually sitting down and blogging about it just isn't appealing to me right now. In fact, after losing our baby, I jumped on a few times because typing out loud my feelings, helped me deal, but then shortly after that, I have lost all motivation to be on the computer at all. So my slightly addictive ways of computer days, blogging and facebooking, and checking e-mails, are gone for now. I really feel that the most important part of my life is right here in my home, and so I am focusing on lot on my girlies. So....I will one day ...soon.....blog about all the things I should be blogging about. But for now, I just want to share a quick something, that we are doing for our kids this summer and it's been really fun! There are a ton of summer camps out there and available, and Dave and I compiled a list of summer camps our girls seemed interested in and we are doing our own. So, for each week of the summer we are doing a different camp. The first week, we went to Big Lake on a camping and fishing trip, so we had fishing/outdoor camp. Second week, we did Snorkel/Mermaid Camp, we also have Basketball Camp, Softball Camp, Cheer Camp, Vollyball Camp, Band Camp, Super Mom Camp (this one they learn to sew, cook, do the dishes, laundry, and other mom things that they will one day use when they grow up). So we do the camp for 1 hour for 5 days during the week, and at the end of the week, they get a patch, so they can put them on their backpacks or wherever they want. Anyways, the girls are loving it and really looking forward to each week and the new camp they get to enjoy! Just one of my ideas that I thought you might be interested in!!
