Trip to AZ

In October (yes, it's been that long), the kids and I went and spent almost 3 weeks in Arizona. We had a blast and the kids were exhausted from all of the attention that they received.

Below, are TONS of pictures highlighting our adventure.

Brooklen and my dad were "attached at the hip" the entire trip. They went on horse rides, made crafts and treats, fished, and played 24/7.

B loved fighting with these big boxing gloves that my dad had. Once we got home, we received a package from Grandpa with 5 sets of them for our house.

B also loved this blow-up fort set that my dad bought. You can design several types of buildings with the pieces. Do you see grandpa inside? The two boys had "parties" in their fort.

Hurley, on the other hand, was OBSESSED with baby Maeli, my sister's new little girl. She would not leave her alone.

Ummm . . . yeah. Don't ask; my sister is WEIRD!

We went to Schnepf farms one day with the whole fam. The kids loved the rides, the tractor racing, pig races, playground, and I am pleased to announce the Brooklen and Hurley went on their first real roller coaster that day!

Mom, the kids, and I also took a day trip up to see my Grandpa. I love that he was able to see his great grandchildren for even just a couple of hours.

My kids love the train park in Scottsdale. Since it is close to work, both Ethan and my Dad were able to meet us there for a couple of hours. Ethan, dad, and the kids, rode the train, and Ethan took Brooklen on the Merry-Go-Round.

My favorite pictures, however, were the ones of Hurley watching Brooklen on the Merry-Go-Round. I had her stay off because the kids had already been on 2 carousels that week. Just look how cute she is:

And, of course, Maeli is pretty darn cute too!

We also went to the children's museum, parks, the zoo, the movies, storytime, Chucky Cheese, and had a blast hanging out with my family and close friends.

And, there were multiple trips to both In N Out and Last Chance (you didn't think I would leave that out did you?)

Plus, as an added bonus, I got to spend a weekend with two of my besties, Teryn and Brittni. We shopped and ate, shopped and ate, and did some more shopping, eating, and little bit of trash tv watching. _Oh, and yes, we still do our makeup and take self-portraits of ourselves.

P.S.  Thanks Mom and Dad for spoiling my children!  They LOVED it.
