{ Arizona }

For Me and Mat's Birthdays this year my Parents gave us a trip to Arizona. They paid for our gas, and gave us spending money. Let me just tell you it was glorious!!

We left on Friday evening around 5:00.

We ran out of gas just 5 miles outside of Beaver.

We arrived at Resort Hotel Stocking at 4 am.

Our bags were transported to our rooms.

Our kids were whisked off by the resort owners Richard and Melissa.

Mat and I were sent to sleep!

Yep, an awesome start to an awesome week!!

On Saturday night Shoopa had Prom, it was so fun to be there and see him go to his first Prom!!

Shoopa and his cute date Matti The kids watching from inside. Sav loved seeing the girls "Princess Dresses" Mat had to fly home on Sunday so he could work for the week. we were sad to see him go. but we had LOTS of fun anyway!! On Monday Melissa and I went to Hot Yoga. It was AMAZING! Then it was off to get Mani's and Pedi's Thankfully Carter was able to stay home from school and be my personal nanny!! Savoy loving life!

Sav & "Lissa"

Me and Savoy

After the pampering the kids played with the cousins, and watched movies.

They also had a BUBBLE bath!

Savoy told me several times she never wanted to leave "Lissa's" house! On Tuesday Melissa watched the kids in the morning while I went to the mall and to the Rack.

I picked us up some lunch and then we headed to the park. I am pretty sure we went to the park everyday we were there.

My kids LOVE the park.

Unfortunately Utah has a "park season"

and it has been too long since it has been "park season"!!!!

We spent lots of time sitting by the pool.

Savoy was constantly posing asking me Mom is this cute?

here is one of her events...

We went to baseball games.

I went to dinner

and

Lunch

and

Dessert with friends

(is it bad one of the things i miss most about AZ is my fave food places??)

We got together with some of our good friends the Harbeck's

It was an adventure

AS ALWAYS!!

We enjoyed more relaxing at the pool...

Nope this is not a resort

just Melissa's backyard!

Muscles!!

Canon pulling his classic face!

He loved being outside running around like a wild man!

This is called white trash swimming!

Tiffany is getting ready to move and packed up all the swimsuits.

so instead of not swimming we opted for clothes optional swimming!

SO MUCH FUN!

we miss these girls!

Tiff and I

We had a blast with this cutie! Carter seriously is the best cousin ever! He is so sweet with my kids, and takes such good care of them! They love this kid something fierce and so do I!!

Not so sure where is picture went?

Uncle Jony took the kids to Rango. He is a fabulous uncle!

Mat flew back on Friday night

On Saturday we headed up North to pick up some couches for the new addition to the cabin, from our good friend the Sparks!

Darren was able to sneak away from work and we went to dinner!

Canon was mad when we took away his OREO. This picture cracked me up so I had to include it!!

We left to head home at 6:00

didn't run out of gas!!

Cole was ready to be done with the drive, and didn't want to see Sav's movie!

Seriously we had an amazing time!
