Our Arizona Trip

This was the coolest natural landscape I have seen. It looked like aliens dropped them off.  Jesus must have had fun creating this part of the country with all of its colors and rocks. 
Can Wyatt make any more of a mess with a marshmallow? You can't even see how messy it is. It was ALL over. Marshmallows now banned from road trips. 
Last month we went to visit Nonnie... we started out our 14 1/2 hour drive. It was actually a beautiful and scenic drive. Some of it bordered the Grand Canyon. We stopped at Cliff Dwellers ...(not the cool place that Michael remembered as a child, but these cool rocks. We did stop at the acutal cliff dwellers, but it looked too steep for Wyatt to hike and I was dumb and only brought my flip flops. Maybe next time.) Anyway, it was such a nice drive and we had fun even just driving. I couldn't believe how cold Arizona was in April! I packed for summer thinking it would be super hot, I was freezing half the time.

The rocks in this picture are some of the coolest natural landscape I have seen. It was such a great photo backdrop and the kids loved it, but it was so windy and cold we couldn't stay as long as they would have liked.
Can I just tell you how much my kids LOOOOVVVEE Aunt Nonnie? And here is just one of the reasons why... She plays with them. She is a kid herself and loves video games (something I don't). I love how special Nonnie makes my kids feel, I am so grateful to have her as a sister and an aunt to my kiddies.
Ok, so this picture of the girls was taken at their house, but obviously not on big pea pod or cabbage. It looks kind of funny, but they are too cute in it. I have fun doing this page.

We got to Nonnies on a Sunday and stayed until Wed afternoon. Too short of a visit, but Michael was getting too stir crazy. The babies are too sweet and getting so fun. I was shocked at how much they have grown in just 2 short months. Makenna is even getting rolls on her thigh. The funniest thing about them, especally Makenna is that she will continue to stare at you when you look away and when you look at her again she smiles SO big, like she got what she wanted. It is THE CUTEST! My heart just melts thinking about those cuties.

Carma and Juddy were in HEAVEN being with Nonnie, the spare minutes she could pay undivided attention is now limited, but they don't care and treasure whatever they can get. It is so cute. We played Rock Band and Cooties. The babies make it limited of what we can do now.

Those rocks are amazing! I think you are right ... Jesus must have had fun making them and envisioning all of the people marveling at them and taking pictures. Thank you for sharing.
