Arizona Trip 2010

It has been a long time, four years to be exact since we have taken a trip home to Arizona. It is a long 12 hour drive but every time we reach the desert it just feels like home. I love the smells of the desert and the beauty of the cactus. We just missed the desert in bloom which is AmAzInG but the saguaro's were still in bloom. We had a great time doing all our favorite things to do when we go there. Hiking, Organ stop pizza, Swimming and most of all spending time with my wonderful family. This is Kai, Kamden and Jeffy enjoying the music at Organ stop.

Yes this is one of my all time favorite places I still love it to this day!

My brothers Jeff and Ron, Angie, Mom, Dad, Hailie and John.

We stopped to walk over the dam at Lake Powell and do a little dreaming....

Jeffy couldn't get enough of all the different cactus...that will be a blog of it's own!

On our hike at Usery park. What a beautiful trail and an amazing view of the entire Phoenix valley from the top.

Jeff, Melanie, Angie and Dad.

Almost to the top. This is my kids favorite place to stop and pose for photos!

Heading up the mountain.

Thanks mom and dad for a wonderful trip and all you did to keep us entertained and happy. Also a big thank you to Angie and her family for letting us crash with them.

Rockin' the talent show

So my kids rocked at the talent show and took home 2nd place. They were awarded $50 bucks and a bunch of candy (of course). I am so proud of them for having the courage to do it and all the hard work they put into it! Thank you to John for taking the time and working with them as well. They had some really great choreography to go along with their sweet moves. Congrats kiddos.
