Our Trip to AZ...

Alright, I'm finally back with all the pictures and updates from our trip to Arizona!! I know, it's been a week since we've been home, I've been busy, what can I say?! Ü
So the kids, my Grandma and I headed down to AZ!  We were all excited!  Whenever I go without Brian I bring Bruno, that way Rusty still has someone at  home, and Bruno loves to go on trips with us!!  So this is where he sat during the trip down there!  Right on the back hatch, if my windows weren't tinted, I'm sure anyone that drove behind me would have been laughing so hard!!

So then on Thursday night, Mom, Grandma and I went and saw Mary Poppins...  We had Jaxin snap a picture of us before we left....

Here is Kernan waving good-bye to me as we drove off!  I love that when were at my parents house he has NO problem when I leave!  I wish he would be that good when I drop him off in Sunbeams at church! lol!
Photobucket

Just before the show started!!  It was AWESOME!!  They did some amazing things as far as the set, the "magic", just all around amazing!!  We loved it!!

Then on Friday night we went down to the park by my parents house.  We met up with Natalie and the kids!!  We hadn't seen each other in so long so it was SO nice to see them!!  I still miss not living right across the street from them and watching their kids grow and our kids get to grow up together!  But I'm thankful for our friendship, even if we live TO FAR AWAY from each other!! Ü
Here Kernan is rolling down the hill...

Once he got to the bottom and started walking back up he'd say, "whoa, I'm dizzy!"  Ya think?! haha
Photobucket

Callie...  She is SO cute!  I can't believe how big she is and how much she talks!! 
Photobucket

Loved this shot, gotta love the tongue!

Kolsen... I can't believe how big our boys have gotten!!  Time has just FLOWN by!! I can't believe they're going to be 4 in April!!

So on Saturday, Stockton had his Pinewood Derby.  Him and my Dad take the derby car making VERY seriously!
Here is his "cheer section"!!

Kernan was so into it!

Stockton's car is #14..  2nd lane...  He took first in this heat...

I missed this shot, as he walked down to the end of the track for his next race, all 3 of the kids gave him "FIVE"!  It was so cute!

His car is the one in front that is the blur! Ü  He won that heat too!

So then on Sunday, it was Valentine's Day!
Here is Kernan going through his loot...  Notice we had Krispy Kreme doughnuts for breakfast, Kernan chose the one with pink, red and white sprinkles!

He got a new Geo Trax movie!! Yay!!  This kid is OBSESSED with Geo Trax Trains!!  (i have a post all about it coming!)

My Valentine and I couldn't be together... :*(  But on Saturday I had a dozen roses delivered to me!!  I've never had flowers delivered so it was a neat surprise!  I have the BEST Valentine!!
Photobucket

So Pretty!!
Photobucket

I spent the rest of Valentine's afternoon at a photography seminar... Lots of good ideas!!  It was super fun!

So on Monday, all 3 of the older kids were at a birthday party and us 3 wanted to go get pedicures.. But what do we do with the boy?!  Well take him of course!!  I had the ipod with a movie, I'd say he enjoyed the pedi too!!  Ü
Photobucket

Then Monday I went and took pictures of Christtina's boys, more from that coming soon!  And then we went to Peter Piper Pizza for dinner!  We met up with Brian's Dad and sister Emilee...
  It was adorable, when we got to Peter Piper, Paul and Emilee were already there, Kernan went RUNNING up to Paul and gave him a big hug!  He was so excited to see him!  He loves Poppy!!
Here is Poppy getting Kernan on the "mini" merry-go-round...

Trevor's turn to get eatin'!

The girls spending their coins!! It's amazing how fast they go!

Emilee got a fake mustache as one of her prizes, here is Cole modeling it for us...  Oh he is SO cute!!  I miss him already!!
Photobucket

The girlies playing Deal or No Deal... Emilee and I played this together that night as well, we didn't do to good!  It's probably my favorite game at Peter Piper!!  Although, I'm not to good at it! Ü  Emilee did awesome though!
Photobucket

So, that was our trip, short with a LOT to fit in!  I'm not sure when we're going back down either...  Ever since we moved, I knew when we'd go back down for another visit... This is the first time that I'm really not sure!! It's odd...
But in just 3 weeks we'll see my family in Las Vegas!  Thank you Sydni for getting married! lol!


In other news... I'm having a "Cutest Kid Photo Contest", go to my Photography Blog to see all the details!!  If you want to participate, email me your pictures by Saturday night!!

A BIG congrats to two of our cousins that have had babies this week!!  Andrea and Sheena!!  Wish you guys lived closer!!  I need a newborn fix!!  Both boys are adorable and both Mom's and Boys are doing well!!  I can't wait to meet them!! Ü 
I'm off to edit more of Christtina's boys pictures, be looking for those up here soon!!  Also, we went up to Zion last night for Family Home Evening to see the snow on the beautiful Red Rocks, I took a bunch of neat pictures that I'll be posting soon as well!!  Man, life is busy right now!! But it's all good!! Ü

Thank goodness your better at updating your blog than I am. I get on the computer every 5 days or so now. Only, to look at others. I can't wait to see the pix! I can't believe how perfect Stockton's car was, that rocked. Smart planning, circles cutting the weight. Then, a super cool box. Who does that? haha, The Peterson's. I guessed i never noticed how much you three look alike. Generation pix r cool.
