We spent 3 weeks of June in Arizona. Ryan was happy to not have to worry about flying back and forth while we were there. The only bummer was we played while he worked. Krissi happened to be there the first week we were. It worked out perfectly for us!
Laurie with the kids.
Babies Luke and Ivy met for the first time
Nana loved having a few of the grand kids around.
Since it is so darn hot in the summer there, we spent a LOT of time in pools, sprinklers and splash pads with cousins and friends!
I was so glad we got to go to my mom's family reunion! I just don't get to see my cousins often enough! Ryan took the kids rowing around the pond.
Tate loved the swing!
It was not possible for this kid to stay out of the water!
We went to a couple of fun museums too. The Arizona Science Center was fun and free with Krissi's museum pass.
Aren't our children beautiful!
Tate was the brave one to lay on a bed of screwdrivers.
We also paid a visit to the Museum for Youth. They had a special Peanuts themed display that the kids liked.
This picture just turned out cute with Nana!
Luke didn't mind Dodge after the first few days.
I loved seeing several of my girlfriends that were around! I wish we could get together more! I think we had 17 or 18 of our kids there, and that's only because a few didn't come!
You'd think 3 weeks would be plenty of time to see everyone as much as we wanted too. Nope. I just can't get enough of these wonderful people! Luckily, we love our friends and family in Utah too and it was great to be home and see them!

I can just feel the heat through your pictures! Makes me want to bask in the Arizona sun. Lots of fun in the sun! cute pictures. Love your little kiddos!!! Glad you were able to spend time with family and friends and also be closer to Ryan.
I love that picture of Caren and Luke:) Looks like a fun trip. You are right, is always hard to see everyone as much as you would like when you go to visit. Good thing it's not too far to go:)
