Arizona Trip Day 1 & 2

We had a great time in Arizona! I can't possibly tell all that we did, but I will give it a try! We flew out Tuesday afternoon. We had an okay flight though it was a bit bumpy. John wanted to sit in the very back and since it wasn't a full flight we had our choice of seats. We will not sit in the back again! This is a photo of Sarah and I on the flight there.


We went to get the rental car. We decided that since I knew the area and it was cheaper if we had one driver, we wouldn't put Sarah and John on. It was super funny what happened!!! I was at the counter and the guy was flirting BIG time with me! It was fun and in the end we got a free upgrade! He even came out to the garage to make sure that we got a good car! Too bad that he had a super ugly mullet, I might have asked him to be my date for the wedding! That night we took it easy. We went the Brenda's house got the GPS system which was awesome and headed to dinner with Trenton (the groom). We then watched our weekly biggest loser! It was fun to find out that our friend Brenda and her husband watch too! So we had a fun time watching and meeting her awesome hubby!


Our awesome car!


This is Brenda's pet tortoise Ted. It was super fun to see him and play with him. We took it easy the morning of the wedding. Slept in, read, played with Ted and watched TV. We ran a few errands before the wedding and then headed to the wedding and reception.


This is Mr. and Mrs. Oberly. The wedding was held at a gorgeous country club. It was fun a beautiful place to have a wedding. We enjoyed a Mexican/American wedding. Which meant that it was late getting started, but the food was good. There was even a mariace band! Although we were all sick the next day. And didn't go too far. We left early because we were all tired but the party lasted well into the night! Glad we could be there! Sarah even ended up helping to serve cause they were short handed, and I translated for her. Fun times!!

Breast Cancer Walk



This past weekend a few of my friends and I participated in the Breast Cancer Walk. This was to help raise money for breast cancer research. It was a lot of fun, wasn't too cold, and was well worth it! We will be doing it again next year and hope that we can raise more money and have more team members! Thanks for the fun time!

Funny Story!!


Yesterday we had the whole family together for lunch. It gets a little crazy with all of the grand kids around cause they all want attention from their favorite aunt (that's me!) and I don't always get to spend one on one time with them. I did however get to have a moment alone with Lilly, Mandy's daughter and she is hilarious! We were outside looking for her hair bow that she had lost and as I was looking around the yard she says, "I found it!" So I run over to where she was to make sure she indeed had found it. Well she had placed a piece of grass on her head and said, "Here is my bow!" I couldn't help but laugh! I went back to looking for the bow and again she claims she had found it, this time it was more grass. This went on a couple more times, with grass and leaves! I finally sent her into the house to show her mom what she had found. Of course it brought more laughs and giggles. She thought she was quite clever in "finding" her bow!!

Imaginative is all I can say!!! Needless to say we didn't find the bow outside.......her dad had had it in his pocket the entire time!!! Thanks Spence for allowing me to have a great experience but it would have been nice had you filled me in before I scoured the yard multiple times!!!

Sporting Events!

This week I was able to go to the games of my niece and nephew. They both did very well and I am proud of the efforts that they are making on their teams! Josh made a touchdown at his flag football game and Kylie stopped many goals at her soccer game, while playing goalie. They both work well with their teammates and are doing well in the sports that they have chosen to play! Thanks for letting me come.....I enjoy cheering on the sidelines!
