Recap Arizona




It has been a month and a half now since we've been back from Arizona and I haven't taken the time to post about our ventures. First of all I cannot find all of my pictures that I took. They won't pull up on our computer, so more than half of the pictures are missing (I hope I can find them, because they've been deleted off of the memory card). These pics are the last two days there when Jason came to pick us up. We had lots of fun swimming as you can see. The kids all except Cole picked up on swimming like they had been in a pool since they were born (this was a miracle because they use to be deathly afraid of the water and would cling to the sides of any pool as if the water was going to eat them alive even with a life jacket on). I was so excited to see them make this huge progress!!!! The kids all got to spend time with their cousins, and I got to spend time with my mom and my sister, her kids, my sister in laws, and all their kids, and okay all my family. It was so much fun I didn't want to come back home. I did miss Jason and I was extremely excited to see him I hadn't seen him for six whole weeks!!! My sister, mom, sister in laws, and I all decided to take on some sewing projects needless to say I only got 2 skirts and one dress done for Ashlyn, and I still have one more dress to sew which is still in Arizona because I'm a newbie at sewing and have no clue what I'm doing so my mom is going to finish it. My sister also had a gazillions of dresses (she has three little girls) she is a newbie at sewing too so my mom has her hands full for a while. My sister lives clear across the country and left my mom with her unfinished projects as well. I'm glad my mom sews so we can eventually get our cute projects done sometime!!
Anyway the first couple days were busy with the wedding of my brother and now sister in law, then we went to a resort and played in the pools everyday for a week (I really hope I find my pics on my computer). This resort was gorgeous and there were little bunnies that were just hopping around on the grass like they were people too, I had never seen anything like it before, it was cool! The boys spent two weeks at their cousins house they went camping, played, went to the movies, swam like little fishies (their cousins have a pool), and had a blast! Us girls and Cole had just as much fun, we went swimming, did a little shopping, and ate lots of junk food because we stayed up late every night talking and trying to get sewing done. Being with the family was just great!! I will cherish the memories created and can't wait to go and visit again!!
