I love October in Arizona

We had an oh, so enjoyable trip to Arizona the first week in October. The main events were Uncle Steven's football game (he is the star quarterback for the JV team), my 10 year high school reunion (gasp), Stephanie's baby shower, Steven's Eagle court of honor and lots of family/friend time. It was supposed to be a quick weekend trip, but apparently I booked our return flight for Thursday instead of Monday. Whoops! I swear it was an accident, a happy accident though. If it was intentional I would not have booked a flight at 6am by myself with the kids. Ryan still went home before the rest of us. Here are the best shots of the wonderful week!

Football fans!




I enjoy the park so much more when Nana is there with the kids! And so do they!





Mindi, the best party planner! She threw the perfect baby shower for Steph.
The favorite Uncle Steve.

Ready to play!


Cousinly love.

Handsome scouters. (Ryan has no clue where his scout shirt went.)

I am pretty sure Ruthie is not trying to choke Emmett. These 4 are such buddies.

We did get a night out with our good friends the Clares.

Some of the girls at the reunion. It was definitely worth going! I loved seeing my amazing friends from high school! And seriously, how did all of them get even cuter! Well, we did graduate in the 90's. We should get at least a fashion pass for that! My friends have all done great things with their lives. I am so happy for all of you!

Oh the memories I have with this girl! I can't wait until we live less than 1000 miles away from each other!

Weren't we supposed to go back to Cabo for our 10 year? Just a thought!

I won a prize for marrying someone from a rival school. So glad I did! He's the best choice I've made in the past 10 years!
Good old student council! Nice job!
