Arizona Trip....






Jace and I had the chance to take a quick trip to Sierra Vista Arizona. For those of you who don't know where that is located just look close to the Mexico border!! It was definitely the desert, hot, humid and at times slightly windy but I really loved all the beautiful trees and shrubs that grow there. I thought it was very funny how everyone was cold (70') and I was still kinda hot!!! We decided to travel there to visit my good friend Linda and her precious family whom I met while Dan was in School in Missoula. It is so crazy how time flys by, it has been five years since I have seen her. Luckily for me being with her was like we were never apart!! We really enjoyed hanging out and just doing things with them like we were part of there family. Jace loved playing with kids. I think he really enjoyed following them around mostly because I think he felt like he was big like them. While we were there we went to soccer games, church(which by the way Jace was perfect lasted all 3 hours), ate some good food, got some good recipes which I have already tried(Linda the poppy seed bread is good I just wish I was better at baking, I somehow got the top on the bread out of the pan but the bottom stuck right to my bread pan=) maybe this is why I don't bake??)and we talked a lot about life, kids,craft, and of course shopping. What a blessing it is to know that no matter how far away our friends may be they always keep us close to there hearts. Linda, Nathan, Emma, Brenna, Jack, and Brigg thank you for opening your home to us. We felt very much at home. Emma and Brenna thanks for letting me take over your room and sleep in your bed=) Jack and Brigg Jace loved playing with you thanks for keeping him totally entertained. I hope you all know how much you are loved, and this will definitely not be the last time you will see us.

There is nothing like coloring with chalk on a nice cool night. Jace loved it!!
Jack is so funny, he really liked making funny poses in the pictures.


Playing piano so fun, but not so fun for my ears!!!


Jace on the plane, he did so good. I was so impressed and so relieved=)

Lions, Tigers, and Bears Oh My!! Oh and fish


Oh my that fish could really eat a little guy!!

Dan didn't your mother teach you not to stick your hand in the fish tank??


Drumming, Drumming, Drumming








Can we all say "Big Turtle"
This is Luke, Jace, and Logan




So funny the railing was just his height to stick his head under to get a better view


Jace playing the drum at the zoo!! He would have preferred to stay there all day banging away

Jace in the middle of saying "What is that?"

We had the chance this weekend to hang out with friends!!! I know crazy to think we really have them but we do. It was really fun seeing all our kids playing together, Jace was so happy to have little friends to play with. So our friends came Saturday night and we just hung out ate some food chatted, the boys watched football (yeah for BYU and there victory over Washington State) Sunday we decided to be bad and go to Denver for some Zoo and Aquarium fun. The kids loved the zoo, us adults were a little disappointed in the lack of animals must have been too hot! We then decided to get some food and due to the road construction and a not so good GPS we ended up at the Cheesecake Factory and I must say it was great!!! We then proceeded to go to the aquarium for some night time fish fun Jace loved all the fish he would just run around pointing and talking all about what he was seeing. A lot of the tanks are open and we would hold Jace up and he would stick his little hands in there so bad but hey he got to have a great experience right? As for Monday well we had a great breakfast, hung out and friends well they had to go back to work...boo for that. I promise our friends came I know I am lacking in pictures but our friend Dan has a camera and he is way better at taking pictures so he got the best ones. Dan, Betsy, Luke, Logan, and Claire we enjoyed having you and can't wait to meet up again with you soon!!!
