July 11 - Summer Meet up

Trying to keep the driving distance to a reasonable amount for everyone I found a park in Chandler that is on the south side of the Phx Metro area.

West Chandler Aquatic Center is a water park / aquatic center. The places looks like a lot of fun.

The date most were available is July 11 so thats it!

The park opens at noon, so lets meet then. If we are there early we can easily get a shaded area!

Cant wait!

Please COMMENT with your site & date preference.

There is also right outside of the pools there is a park with spray pads for kids to get wet, that's free.

2. Tempe Town lake has a park area that has water too.

Jordyn & I!

Okay, so I think Jordyn might be one of the oldest babies in our little group here, she's 7 1/2 months old... but here are a couple pictures, at birth on Sept 4 coming out at 9lbs 1oz and here she is a couple weeks ago at the park! At her 6 month check up she was 19lbs 9 oz, so about 10.5 lbs bigger... she's got no interest in figuring out how to crawl, but she's trying to walk and said "Da-Da" for the first time on Monday!

Six Months Old

Wow how time flies! Elizabeth was born on Oct. 1, 2008 at 8:46 p.m. weighing 6 lbs 6.8 oz and 18.5" long. At her six month check up she was 16 lbs 9 oz, 27.5". In just six months shes gained 10 lbs and grown 10".

Picacho Peak Gathering

Today the Arizona Moms got together at Picacho Peak State Park for a picnic lunch and to let the little girls play. The girls enjoyed chewing on each others hands, feet, and sharing toys.

In attendance were Kristina & Erynn (left), Priscilla & Isabel (center), and Amy & Elizabeth (right). A friend of Kristina, Jamie, was also there with her son, whose name I cannot remember right now. HELP!

We enjoyed the nice sunny weather, although at times it was a bit windy that did not stop us from sharing stories of what our little ones are doing and how they keep us so busy. Also, it was great to share tips and tricks regarding toys and gadgets.

I'd like for us all to get together this summer, maybe late July and hopefully other Fall '08 Arizona Moms can join us. Suggestions for our next gathering?!?!?!

Happy Half-Birthday

May of our little ones will be or already are six months. Post your birth and six mos. pics on or around your little one's half birthday.

Elizabeth will be six mos. on April 1st so I'll post hers then.
