Tucson Arizona





Brad and I were blessed to be able to go to Tucson, Arizona for the weekend. Brad's brother and sister in law, Bart and Jeni, watched the kids from Thursday until Sunday night. It was the most relaxing and amazing trip I have had since our honeymoon. It was so awesome! There were cacti EVERYWHERE! Here are some fun pictures. A few things we did: Went to an outdoor desert museum, kind of like a zoo. (Picture of Brad has a humming bird that almost landed on him, it is to the right of him, by his lower shoulder. We took golf lessons, that was fun! We went horseback riding, we laid by the pool!!! We went out to eat, and went shopping, and had a great time driving for 10 hours there and back. It was so much fun, I'm grateful to have a husband that would surprise me with a getaway like that at a time that I need it the most :)

That's not really that cool!

Okay, so Brad and I just got back from a weekend getaway in Tucson, AZ. It is so beautiful there! I'll add some picks on here in a little bit. Anyway, we got some presents for the girls for being good at their cousin Jesi's house. We bought them the most adorable pink (tori) and white (abbie) cowgirl boots, and then we grabbed a pack of ten for $1.00 glow in the dark vampire teeth. So we got out the cowgirl boots and Tori goes, "Ooohhhh, that's not very cool Mom." Very matter-of-factish. I was shocked! I myself was quite jealous I didn't have as cute of shoes as them. (To this day Brad and Abbie and Tori still all have more shoes than I do, there is something wrong there!!!) So in an effort to impress, I pulled out the vampire teeth (remember these are 10 cents each) and Tori squealed in delight and nodded her head in agreement that those were cool. She and the other kids (Abbie and cousins Jesi and Brian) were entertained for quite a while. Just goes to show that kids don't care about how much things cost. :)
