The Girls Swimming

Sorry I don't know how to flip these videos, so you will have to turn your head to the side. :)

Ayden Crawling

Ayden is quite the little man. I think he is going to be the only child we will have to child proof the house for. Boys are SO different from girls!! Since he has been crawling he gets into EVERYTHING he is not supposed to. We have to keep a very close eye on him. He doesn't crawl on his hands and knees. Check out these videos to see him in action!

Izzy's School Visitor

This last Friday, Isabelle had a Police Officer come and visit her preschool. They learned about strangers, being safe, when to call 911 and much more. Then they got to go out to the Officer's vehicle and look around and they got to push the buttons to make the lights and sirens go. Here are some pictures from the day.

Jim's New Mexico Trip

Friday, September 5th Jim took off for a work trip to New Mexico in their company plane. The 23 year old pilot Brian picked him up from the Chandler Airport and headed off to Glendale to pick up a co-worker and her husband. They made it to Glendale just fine and took off but had to turn back around to the Glendale Airport when their battery died in the plane, leaving them with no avionics. Jim hand pumped the landing gear down. Once the battery was replaced they headed off for a smooth flight to Albuquerque, New Mexico. They stayed the night and Jim lead a drivers meeting at Cactus’ NM office. Than on Saturday, September 6th they headed back to Glendale. When they arrived at the Albuquerque Airport they were not able to go out to their plane because John McCain, Governer Palin and their Staff along with a ton of Secret Service Agents & Security Guards were out on the runways. Once they were gone they got the go ahead to take off for Glendale. When arriving in Glendale they could not get a landing gear light to come on that lets you know that the landing gear was down. They had to circle the airport and fly by the tower to have them look to see if the landing gear was down and in place and the Glendale Fire Dept. was called out to the runway incase they were to have any problems landing. They made it to the ground safe and sound and I had to go pick up him and the pilot, Brian in Glendale. Jim handled this all a lot better than I handled hearing about it. I hope the next time he has to fly to NM that Cactus buys him a ticket on South West and not Cactus Air. :)

Bisbee Trip for Debra's Birthday

So for Debra's Birthday this year, she and I took a trip to Bisbee, Arizona. For those of you that don't know, Bisbee is supposed to be a very haunted town. So Debra found one of the more
"haunted" hotels and we stayed the night at The Hotel LaMore, a very cute little B&B. Neither one of us had any experiences but Debra was the brave one and slept all night and I unfortunately didn't fall asleep until the sun came up the next morning. I know I am a chicken!!!

Debra and I had so much fun and we both fell in love with the little town. The locals are very interesting! We had a lot of fun people watching!! You can see some of the pictures that I took of the town here....http://picasaweb.google.com/josiemesivi/BisbeeArizona#

Our Family Trip to Illinois

This last July we went back to Illinois for our yearly visit. We had a blast and were really glad we got to share the "Norman Rockwell" 4th of July experience with not only our family that lives there but we also got to share this experience with Brad, Lisa and Zach Wierck. Here are some photos from that trip. Check out our pictures from the trip here http://picasaweb.google.com/josiemesivi/IllinoisTrip, http://picasaweb.google.com/josiemesivi/4thOfJuly# and http://picasaweb.google.com/josiemesivi/LeviSFirstBirthdayParty#
