Scorpion hunting and swimming with friends

Silly Liam all the time making us laugh.

Scorpion hunting one night with all the neighborhood kids. We didn't have any luck finding one which I guess is a good thing but was a bummer for the boys. 

Our poor tree keeps getting killed in the storms. 

The Porters came into town for a quick trip! Mcdonalds with the littles and then we went swimming at Forrest's brothers pool. 

Our little Iowa kids all together again. Wish they still lived in Arizona so we could hang out all the time!

Start of School!! 3rd and 5th!

 The boys had already missed the first 3 days of school by the time we got home from Germany. They start so early down in the Phoenix area. Luckily, we got all enrolled and talked to teachers before leaving. Then we met with the Principal the Friday we got home. They start another new school.... Ryan Elementary! Liam is just staying home this year again and starting preschool next year.

Happy 13th anniversary to me and Jordan!! Hopefully it doesn't mean anything unlucky being 13.. We didn't do much but just went out to eat and walked around Scottsdale. 

Well I'm not sure what this picture is at all ha ha! It was on Jordan's phone, I'll have to ask him. But the boys look cute!

Germany- Leigh's birthday and Tubingen

I love the kids getting cousin time! They have been playing so well together. I will be so sad to separate them again. 

Happy Birthday Leigh!! I don't know the last time we got to celebrate our birthdays together!! She introduced us to Raclette. It was so fun and literally amazing. 

The biggest town next to them is Tubingen. We went there one day to explore. Such a pretty town!

Wish I knew the actual names to all the beer gardens we went to ha ha! But here is another. It was so good and the park with it was one of the boys favs! Samira and Ruben also came and met us for dinner again. It was fun hanging out with them again. Jordan loved the glass bottles the water came in. He wanted to take it home but then we forgot about it when we left. 

Before leaving we stopped at the grocery store and stocked up on all the goodies! The boys used all the left-over Euros and went to town. The grocery lady was laughing at us at the checkout. Then we sadly had to do goodbyes. The worst part of every trip. You would think after 2 and half weeks we would be excited and ready to head home but it was hard. Guess we will just have to move to Germany now or wait for Perry's to move back to the US!
