Family Vacation to Phoenix, AZ


We so enjoyed our family vacation to Phoenix, AZ.
It felt like coming home. We stopped in Mesquite on
the way down and bowled with the kids. We hit Vegas
on our way out and let the kids play every game they
could handle at Circus Circus before total over-stimulation
kicked in. Then we endured (kindly, thanks to the DVD
players) the rest of the twelve hour drive. We stayed
with the McCabes in Johnson Ranch. THANK YOU PAT
AND KAMI, (amazing people, Kami mothers with such
grace.) We spent a lot of our time with the our dearest
friends the Millers. Our kids are the best of buds. This
is Jacob, Megan, Katie, and Isaac at the Phoenix Zoo.


The Girls; Megan, Anna, and Katie totally
mesmerized by the prairie dogs.

Katie on her leopard.

Jacob and Isaac were pretty much always
in their own "magical 5-year old boy world."

Justin, you are so easy to be around. I
had such a great time being with you.
By far my favorite thing about the vacation
was non-stop you.

Candice, it was like a fresh of breath air being around
you again. I LOVED your home and all of the pictures
of Christ. You are such a good mommy and the best
friend any girl could ask for.

Katie and Megan head banging to the music on
Barbie and the Diamond Castle.

My cousin Lara had us over for dinner and she is
the yummiest chef. It was my 26th birthday and
we had fun celebrating it with family. Thank you so
much Nelsons.

Thanks so much to the Nevitts for having us for dinner.
Justin LOVES the bean burros. And Ole and Bishop, you
better be practicing up for next time on the ping pong. I
was disappointed in you letting Justin off the hook so easy.

Thanks to the Beagleys, Torontos, Zobells, Grays, Florences,
Millers, Stewarts, Arringtons, Mickey & Darrell, and anyone
else I may be forgetting, for the visiting at the park and the
fun reminiscing. We Love you all so much and miss you.

Thanks Sarah for house-sitting and taking such good care of
Boyzee. Mom thanks too for coming and taking Boyzee on
outtings.

Yeah! It was seriously so much fun seeing you guys again. We will definitely have to get the girls together next time we are in Utah (& maybe even bum a room from you for a night or two at Hotel Robinson :)

Oh Leta! I was so, so bummed that we missed you! The girls were getting over the stomach flu (and Mike was starting it) and we did not want to pass that to anyone--it was bad news! I'm glad you guys had a good a vaca and hopefully we'll get together one of these times! We did try to call on Sunday evening, when everyone was feeling better but I think we were too late :(

I am glad you had such a great time in Arizona with all your buddies and family. You look gorgeous in all your photos, but what else is new?!

Sarah said...

Hey lady!! How the heck are you?! You look so amazing and your little family is so adorable. I remember seeing you with your baby at the mall last summer. So glad I found you!

Hey Leta,

It's great to hear from you. It looks like you have a beautiful family and are living the dream. Life's different here in New York, but we're enjoying it. I'm really glad you left a comment!

Rats!
It would have been so fun to see everyone form the good ol' days!
Gald you are doing well and you still look fabulous!

How funny that you mentioned the autobiography of Parley P. Pratt. Connor pulled it off the shelf the other day and had it in his room as part of a tower or something. After the tower was long gone, the book remained on top of his bookshelf. One of my friends was over and asked if it was required reading for our children since it was on his bookshelf.
How ironic! Glad you are enjoting it!
