Memorable Arizona Trip

My sister Rachelle posted a nice slideshow of our Trip to AZ.  I must say that it was one of the best trips we have done as a family.  Besides the Blazers losing Game 1 to the Rockets.  Everything else was perfect.

We wanted to thank Martin (aka Marlin) for getting us setup at the Courtyard!  We loved the hotel and could tell that the people there liked working with you.  (They may have just said that because they work for you.)

Thanks to MaSan for letting us invade your home.  That was so much fun.  We hope your house survived.  We love your home and hope to come visit again.

Thanks to Maeser, Savanna and Bailee!  Thanks for driving us everywhere.  The food was great and we are concrete converts!  We think about it all the time now.  Thanks for playing Xbox too.

Thanks for Doug, Erica, Chase, Trey, Ben and Tess.  The carnival was fun and yes, you guys still make the best popcorn this side of the Mississippi.  It was fun to go to your office Doug and have you work us out.  Yes, we know, we are out of shape.

Thanks to Kristin and Brooklyn.  It was so much fun to hang out with you guys.  Brooklyn is so cute and we miss her sweet little voice.  I wake up and am sad because I don’t here Brooklyn saying “Mom?”

Thanks to Rachie and Ashlyn!  Thanks for coming down you guys.  Lauren obviously loves hanging with Ashlyn.  We had some good times.  I must say that Rachie is not a DC.

One of the most memorable moments of the trip was when we were driving home from getting ice cream and we got Maeser laughing so hard that he couldn’t breathe.  I have never seen him like that!  I thought he was going to pass out like the time he was in a Chilean hospital strapped to a table. :-)

Well, as we were in the Phoenix airport coming home, Tyler was crying.  We asked him what was wrong and he said that he didn’t want to leave.  He had so much fun and was sad to see it end.

Thanks to everyone for making this such a memorable trip.  We love you all!

New Olympic Sport

Ok, so when my brothers and I get together, we always make up games to play to keep things interesting.  When we were at a park in Mesa, AZ last week, we started a competition.  The goal was to see who could jump the farthest out of a swing.

Kids, do not try this at home….because it’s more fun to try at the park!

My sister took some pictures and I find them to be pretty funny:

This first picture is of Maser:

 

This one is of Doug:

 

This is Chase doing his Air Jordan pose:

 

This is Tyler.  He shoots out sideways and even tied my record:

 

This is of Trey:

 

This is me:

 

The best part was watching Doug try to beat our records.  I think his face says it all.  We were laughing pretty hard!
