Mark and his brother Michael
After the show breaking down equipment
















Rosemary's Garden
much better this try..take 2! he had to try 2 times to get it right!

enjoying ourselves with some drinks!

Kid Rock look a like in the flesh!
This is the first band of the night..A kid Rock cover band! looked almost just like him and sounded pretty damn good!

We had just got to vegas.....

Off To Vegas! We made really good time. Once we got there we headed straight to Buffalo Wild Wings (our fav) for dinner....yummy. had a few drinks and great food. what more can you ask for? After dinner we went to find a couple shops we were looking for there in Henderson and Vegas and then headed to meet up with Mark's brother and the band at the show. Cheyeene Saloon. They got there play time bumped back to 11pm so we had some time to just hang out and chill with Rosemary's garden (The band) cool little venue (Cheyeene Saloon) it started out really packed and then as the night went on people cleaned out due to it being a Wed night! We had fun...we didnt end up leaving to come home to Havasu till about 2am so needless to say we didnt make it home till about 4:30am and we probably shouldnt have driven all that way back home but we had to be back so I could take kayla to school by 7:30 and she was the one watching the kiddos so had to make it a turn around!

we ended up leaving about 3:45-4:00.

while I was in the shower mark went and got gas, rented some movies for the girls to watch while we were gone, and oil for the car...

after getting home we just chilled for a bit and had some lunch with the kiddos..Chicken breast tenders and curly seasoned fries...and then i got showered and ready to head out.

I went to my interview @ 2:15 today for a server position. The interview went great but they actually aren't even hiring right now they are just looking early for when they do..why do places do that? oh well...I believe that everything happens for a reason and this opened the door to me following through with my Business.....

Today I was shown that if you give to others and do for others that God does look out for you...And it happend when we least expected it...

Today was a very good day...After all the talking and hem hawing around the idea, we decided to just go for it..We are starting one of the Business ventures I have been wanting to do for awhile....We believe this Business venture will be a stepping stone to the other 2 business ventures we have planned for later in our lives....So I made it happen it is official we are Business Owners...I have my EIN number all ready to go!

Look out for good things to come from TrnD Dvize! It will be some time to get things all in order, but at least we have started the venture!

Rock on dude!
We had such a nice day! It was nice to get out of the heat and into the cool forest setting.....We all loved it in Flagstaff and Williams.....I guess thats a good thing since that is where we plan to move.....After dinner we headed home back to Havasu......we didnt get home till pretty late!
Look at my girls one looks like an angel and the other a devil! hmmm just like their personalities......

After seeing the Lake we went to dinner at The Grand Canyon Brewery in Williams Az...This picture burg is sitting on a handmade stool all handcrafted for the Brewery..Look at my little Angel praying in a Brewery(hahhahahaha LOL) Good food+ Good beers= will come back again......




After we left the property we drove to see the Lake.....tons of camping sites as well! will have to keep this in mind for the next camping trip!

Kaibab Lake in the Kaibab National Forest In Williams Az


Our Property...Can you say MOO!


After exploring all over Flagstaff we headed to Williams Az to our property....Our property is only 34 miles from the south entrance to the Grand Canyon. Located within the Gand Canyon Estates. Here is a herd of cows passing through our property.....



So serene...Flagstaff is absolutely one of the prettiest cities I have ever seen! right in the mountains.....This is the SanFransico Peaks, right by the Flagstaff Mall...Of course we had to check the Mall out....I cant move somewhere where there is no shopping......


After the park we went to explore Flagstaff, since this is where we plan to end up we wanted to check everything out....We have property in Williams Az so we plan to develop the property and move onto it, and in order to be closer to the property to do this we will have to move to flagstaff..It is so beautiful here...I love the actual seasons...and it was such a beautiful day! It is amazing that just 2.5 hours from havasu and it snows..who knew that AZ had places that snowed......

Eme swinging on the swing



Eme on the bouncy Dinosaur


After playing frisbee we walked over to the picnic area and had a picnic lunch, sandwhiches, mustard potato salad and pretzels, capri suns for the girls and drinks of our choosing for us...After lunch we walked across to the huge playground area where the girls got to play for quite awhile....Burg and Eme on the firetruck!

This is us starting out on our day trip!

We headed straight to Flagstaff....Once we were there we found the frisbee Golf Course @ Thorpe Park . This is 1 of 4 courses in flagstaff. So mark wanted to play this course first and then next trip we play the next course and so on. Such a beautiful park.....

I got up at 3:30 am to get in the shower and get ready to head to Flagstaff for the day with the fam....
Once I was ready we gathered up everything and loaded the car....icechest/snacks/stuff for girls to do on the drive/stuff for lunch at the park...ect....
We left at 5:30 am...

It was nice to sneak away for the day with the fam.....
