Arizone here we come: Part 1





















The kids and I were so ready to get out of the cold MN weather and go some place warm. So we packed up and headed to AZ. We were there for 10 days and we had a BlaSt:) The first half we spent at Kelli and Nate's house. And we miss it already. Bella was so happy to have friends to play with day in and day out and especially to be able to play outside. It seems like it has been forever. By mid day Bella seemed to be down to just a shirt and diaper. She was so happy not to have layers on. (good ol' MN weather) But Kel and I hung out and organized her house and did her food storage. It was so neat to see it all come together so smoothly and quickly. We never ran out of room and we just seemed to find the deals and it Looked Great! And the kids played so well for us so we could get it done and Nate of course helped! Thanks Nate. We took one night and went over to the Mesa Temple. It was so beautiful and there is such a peace there. We all really enjoyed it. Bella loved looking at Jesus. She was so amazed. But we truly had a great time and hope to do it again soon. thanks kel,nate and all those cute kiddos.

Arizone here we come: Part 2











The first part of the second half of our trip we got to spend with John's sister Erin's family. We had a really great time going to Cameron's soccer games and playing at the park and just hanging out at their house. Bella is still walking around asking where Abbie is? She loves her cousins. They are so cute with my kids. We love it.

Arizone here we come: Part 3




























For the last part of the trip we went to Jane and Dave House. That is John's mom and step-dad. We had a fun time there to. Besides the kids having a cold and pink eye. (And spending hours at Walmart getting meds)We really enjoyed ourselves. The kids got to spend more time with their cousins playing and celebrating one of their birthdays. We dipped our feet in their pool a few times. It was a little cold to go all the way in but Dayna and Jared did though. They are brave. But we did go into the hot tub. Bella liked that. We also got to go to the zoo. It was one of the best zoos we have gone too. The animals were right there. It was so fun. Bella of course found every puddle and dirt to play in but it was our last day there so she needed to live it out. Bella even got to feed a giraffe, ducks and other birds. She thougth that was fun. Thanks Dayna and Jared. But we had a really fun time in AZ. As you can probably tell since there is so many pictures. But thanks to everyone for making it a great time. We love you all.

All at Once!

Ok so not to long ago I posted that Parker had gotten his two front teeth in and how miserable he was...well I was mistaking! I went to the doctor on Tuesday with him and she informed me that he has 6 of them coming in at once. So now I really understand why has been so miserable. So I am hoping they come in quickly and then we will be done for awhile. It's just crazy to me though since Bella didn't have her first tooth until she was 1. What a difference between the two. Also, he is now moving everywhere and everything. He is trying to crawl up on things and is standing and walking along everything. Oh, he is just moving along way to fast for me and is going to be into everything before I can even BliNk. He stands up in the carts now at Target, walks along the coach and as we speak has decided that he wants to try and climb the stairs. Awe... it makes me sad he's growing up way to fast, but it is fun at the same time. I love seeing them both develop more and more daily.
