Wow what a day! I feel like I have done nothing but go back and forth to Phoenix for the last month! The boys did arrive in Phoenix today! I was so excited for them to come home. Home sweet home! They did many activities with their Grandparents....such as going to the beach for the day, building new lego sets, riding in Grandad's Dodge Challenger (we will not mention how fast they went!!!), bowling, theatre production of The Sound of Music, and many many more things. The most important I think though was the bonding that took place between my kind and generous parents and my two boys. When we came home, I was making sure that the doors were secure and Hunter asked me "Mom, did you turn the alarm on?" And later Ashton said, "I like to snuggle with you because it keeps me warm." I would like to think that they missed their mom and taking care of her as much as she missed taking care of them.

It has been a very nice weekend. On Saturday I went to the pool with 3 of my friends (Mandy, Jodi, and Jessi) and baked in the sun! We reserved the pool for 2 hours and enjoyed listening to music and chatting. I didn't leave the pool till almost 4:30. I am going to miss the pool days when summer ends. Today the boys were supposed to fly into Phoenix from NC, but Dad made a mistake - let's just say that he needs to remember that flight number and the time are not the same! Luckily I had only gone to Geronimo......not Globe or Phoenix. So it has been a very quiet Sunday at my home today. I am ready for the boys to come home and wrap their arms around me. I have missed them so much. I didn't realize with Bill being gone, just how much I relied on them.
