Marcus, giant corndog and wrestlers

This is a D-bat dog. This is the new item this year at the Dbacks game.  I can't remember how long it is but it took him his dad and uncle to finish it.  It is a giant hotdog, split down the middle loaded with cheese and jalapenos then wrapped in 4 pieces of bacon then dipped it in batter and deep fried! Holy heart attack!!!  

Marcus and I saw this movie when Mac was in San Diego.  Today's version of ET.  It was cute but doesn't come close to ET if you ask me.  I can still remember mom taking Brooke and I to that movie and I was trying to hide my face because I was  crying.   

These pictures are a little funky because they came from Mitch's phone that he sent to my phone and when I tried to load them on the computer, this is how they came out...but this is Ric Flair.  A wrestler from the 80's.  Mitch took him to a meet and greet type event and Marcus got to ask questions and get his picture taken.  He was super excited and had a great time. While the boys did this Mac and I went back to school shopping for her.

They call this guy Edge...Mac and I thought he was pretty cute.

And this guy is called Goldberg.  He has starred in a few movies too.  A big day to remember for this almost 10 year old!!!

Date night/ Concert

For Mitch's birthday way back in March I got tickets for a Def Leppard and Kiss concert.  Well, it's finally here!  Mitch was finally able to sneak a couple days off (however, first day off he received 35 emails from work before noon)...Max hung out with Marcus and we were finally having a date night!

Check out this couple!  People are crazy!  And I will mention, this was an outdoor venue and its July in Arizona!!!!

Oh my gosh!  Def Leppard was great!  I sang every song!!!!

Kiss was great too!  Wearing all their costumes!  Heres Gene Simmons...these guys are in their 60's now still performing great shows!

It was a fun night! 

4th of July

We had a 4th of July party with friends and neighbors...it was quite the bash!



I really didn't get a lot of pics taken because I was too busy but did manage a few shots of the kids. The girl on Mac's shoulders is our neighbor Madi and the boy with Marcus is Derek.

Mackenzie took this of the girls wearing their glow bracelets.

I added this one because if you look at Marcus close enough you can see him spitting water out of his mouth. Hmmm, wonder if that is intended for his sister.

The Wigwam Resort

Marcus has started gymnastics.  They really work them on upper body strength.  He loves it.

The weekend before the 4th (yes, I am behind in my blogging) Mitch had a conference at the Wigwam Resort in Goodyear, AZ...only about 40 minutes from our house. We were ale to stay their 2 nights and enjoy a little staycation.  Mackenzie took some really fantastic photos of palm trees so I wanted to post them.

There is Dean Emerson doing his job.

The resort had an arcade so the boys spent a little time there.

Mac and I went into the Red Door Spa...they were giving away little samples and doing some mini treatments on the hands.  It was fun!

And of course, we enjoyed lots of pool time!
