Arizona...

Another of our favorite things is late winter trips to Arizona. We got to spend a long weekend in Arizona at the beginning of the month. We loved seeing family and the weather was wonderful! It certainly put us in the mood for spring.

We were there for both Nini and Jason's birthdays. The kids were VERY excited to have two birthday parties to attend.




Nini and the kids watching Peter Pan

We spent one afternoon at Fountain Hills

It is one of the biggest fountains in the country



The kids were actually more entertained by the ducks than the water...oh well.

Bradley figured there was no sense waiting until he was a teenager to start this habit. He spent some time on the family vacation by himself in the bedroom listening to "his" Ipod.


Bradley and Mackayla loved playing in the pantry. They used it as their castle or elevator.



Having a dam good time! We stopped at Glen Canyon Dam on the way home. The view of the canyon there is amazing, but the kids were more excited about some old cardboard cutout of a sheep...again, oh well.

Back home, hanging out with dad.

The kids thought it would be funny to have a big bowl of cereal together one morning.


We were just going to have left overs the other night for dinner. I called the kids in and told them dinner was on the table. They thought it was so funny that dinner was in a big tower. I wanted to record this moment because I know this time will go by so quickly. In just a few short years, the kids won't think I'm funny anymore. ;)


Enjoying a popsicle. Jacob finally cut his two bottom teeth this week.

Just the boys
Nothing better than time with Daddy...

Okay, the tower of food really is funny - you are a hoot. Congratulations on the fence! That really will be awesome. And I CANNOT believe the sofa table Jared made, it's absolutely beautiful. I'm jealous!

I love the picture of the boys laying on the floor, Bradley looks ready to pounce!
Looks like a fun vacation! I'm ready to get out all of our summer clothes too.

I am glad you had gun in Arizona! Mackayla looked like she was tired or something at the water spout thing. The kids are still as cute as ever.

Hey, I've been to the water shooter!! Cool pictures. Bradley look so grown up listening to his tunes! That big bowl of cereal gave me the best idea for my breakfast in the morning!

Bradley and his ipod was pretty funny. Glad you could get away for a litle trip. Arizona in late winter is really pretty. Jacob is so big!
