Recent AZ Activities

So far it's been a really fun summer down here in AZ.  Here are a few things we've been up to:

Hangin out with the awesome Reyna's...they just bought a new house!

My really good friend, Cat, came from Holland for a week long visit. We made a roadtrip to San Diego for a weekend and had some fabulous girl time. She had just found out she is pregnant right before this trip so it was so fun to shop for baby clothes. And it was awesome that we both wanted to climb into bed by about 8 pm!!

The weather wasn't so great but it was still awesome to be chillin on the beach with a good book. This is my idea of a perfect day...

..especially when I top it off with a giant burrito!

We clearly did a lot of eating...I got Cat hooked on Cafe Rio. We had such a good time shopping, eating, chatting, and chasing Kade around. Thanks again for coming all this way, especially when pregnant!

Kade took some swimming lessons which were slightly frightening as you can see by this photo.

And I guess he doesn't look so happy about it in this one either.

But he learned so much and it was totally worth it!

I wish I had more pics but we went camping over Memorial Day weeekend with some friends here and had a blast! Kade's first camping trip was a success in my opinion. Thanks to dad..who Kade shared a sleeping bag with..I'm a little stubborn when it comes to my sleep.

It was great to have Brooks and Melinda down here this past weekend. And we got to have some slumber parties with the Johnson's! We had a fun weekend swimming...

..eating..

(I guess Kade really likes parmesan cheese)

...going to a D-Backs game (Jess hates me for posting this one)...

(Drew and Kade were getting ticked at me for taking so many pictures of them...it was great)

...and of course, watching the World Cup!!

Kade is absolutely in love with Mae...he didn't let this one out of his sight all weekend.

And he pretty much does whatever she is doing as you can see!

Girls Trip to St. George!

A few weeks ago my friends and I took off to St. George to meet up with my sis and a buddy to spend some time before Suzy moved to Pennsylvania. We stayed with a friend of Aprils and it was absolutely fabulous!


I was so happy we got to hit up Wingers for my favorite sticky fingers!


Michelle's house was awesome and she made some killer crepes!



And she totally taught herself to do hair...we decided to take Suzy's blond hair to the next level.


What fun gals!

Especially this one...too bad she's across on the other side of the country now.



Gettin a little crazy with the lipstick...

I hate goodbye's!

April caught me with my mean hungry face.

Such a good weekend...thanks ladies!

Scottsdale

It's been a busy few months but we're feeling pretty settled in Scottsdale and I really can't get enough of the sun!

Drew's last day at the GE division in Dallas!

Road trippin to Scottsdale...somebody looks really tired.

It was so great to finally get to our new apartment and sleep on the floor for a few nights...

Luckily, we had two of the coolest gals ever pretty much move us in...

...while we hung out on the couch. Thanks ladies!!


We are so lucky to have some awesome friends that live pretty close...and some cool parks to get together at.

Here are some good times we had to celebrate Kiki's second birthday (he calls himself Kiki and it's kinda stuck). The McDonalds here is killer and is going to be our second home when it gets crazy hot here.


My little stud...I trimmed up his hair and shaved his mustache. He is a little man and yes, he had a mustache.

B-Day night with Uncle Abe (B...as Kade likes to call him).





Kiki got to celebrate his b-day at Chucky Cheese with some fun buddies and pretty nasty pizza.


We love the pool!

Jazz game with Abe and Jess.

Children's Museum where I lost Kaden twice..this is where I found him both times.

Aunt Jill and the fam were vacationing in Scottsdale so it was fun to spend a few days at the pool with them.

Dad's favorite activity is going to the Soda Pop Shop. Here are the boys organizing all the fun new drinks.


Fun Easter Egg hunt with some great peeps we met in the ward!

And Kade seems to always find a new best friend at the park...these two raced down this slide for what seemed like hours.

So far we're having a good time and trying to get outside as much as possible before it gets too hot!
