One thing you will see a lot of in this post is - - - SWIMMING PICTURES!!
It's pretty much all we did while we were in Arizona. It was super duper hot outside so we really couldn't do anything outside except swim. It was so nice outside that it was hard to want to do anything inside.
We did however go to a favorite, Main Event. Cannon loves this place! We told him we would take him for his birthday. For some reason I have no pictures inside but only 2 outside. There was a storm coming so the dark clouds were rolling in....

The girls met some kids from a studio in Phoenix at Nationals. They ended up calling about taking drop in classes and went a few nights to some classes. They learned a lot! It's nice to go to other studios to see the different things that they do. It also is a big motivator. All of the other kids were really nice and welcoming to them. I am glad Kaiya branched out to do this because she is the kid who likes to be 'comfortable' and not take many risks.

Thanks to Uncle Devin for getting the kids hooked on the show Cops! They were addicted. I think whenever they were in the house they were watching reruns of Cops shows. Then when they weren't watching they were playing cops. :)
This picture made me laugh...not sure why Jett is making that face.

Seeing a trend?! Lots of swimming. The kids are all fishes and didn't want to come out of the pool.
Sitting outside when the sun is going down is the best!

Not sure why he playing in the rocks but it just makes me wonder if there are scorpions in there?!
Jett was helping Kaylee work out

We walked up the the Estrella Water feature/Community sign/thing (don't know what you call it).
I was really afraid to run into a snake since this looked like a great hang out spot for them. Luckily we didn't see one.
The view was amazing
I bet there are a lot of snakes that live down there......

Kaiya and Kaylee wanted to get a henna tattoo. I found one in the Scottsdale mall so we all went there.
I ended up getting a small one. Made me really realize that I could never get a tattoo.
Ella's angry face
Kaiya's henna
We sent this picture to Kaiya to make her mad. She always says it not fair that Ella can wear dangly earrings being that she is only 8 (or 7). I asked her if I should get these for Ella. Her response was not a happy one.
Ella has been asking to get her haircut for a long time. I always tell her no. Since it was summer and they don't have to wear their hair in a bun for dance until December I let her do it. She was so exited! We found a salon at the mall - and went for it! She couldn't stop smiling.
So cute!!
After the mall we went to our favorite park - The Railroad Park. It was really stinking hot outside so we didn't last long though. Went on the carousel, road the train and got ice cream!
When we got home the kids quickly jumped in the pool
This was fun. Every picture was different and silly.
Ella is a fish. She loves to swim and do tricks. She would stay out there all day if I let her.

More pool time!
Kaylee put her hand in the filter to get one of the boys shoes. She said she felt something big in there and freaked out. Kind of blew her off - yeah right Kaylee!! Cirdan opened the filter a could days later and found this big guy! The tupperware isn't small. That bug was enormous!!
They are so cute!!!
They loved playing this game. I would surprise them and flip them out of their float when they were least expecting it.

The kids loved going to shave ice. We did this quite often. They opened a place near our house.

Our last night there. Trying to soak it all in.
