Arizona Trip

I have a thing for Arizona. Like I would pack up and move there in 5 seconds if Brennen gave me the ok. I think it's the year round warmth (I don't like the cold at all) and there a lots of members of the church down there. I would move there for sure! So after seeing some posts on Instagram of me not enjoying the freezing winter my friend Jamie told me to come down and stay with her while her husband was out of town for a week. She didn't have to twist my arm, I was online within seconds looking at flights and within a few days our trip was booked! It was seriously what I needed to get through the rest of winter, and we had such a blast!

We were quite the sight I'm sure, with a double stroller, 2 car seats, a suitcase, and 2 kids!

One of my carry-ons =)

We ended up having an almost 2 hr delay so the moving walk way kept the kids entertained 

Ready for take off


Rawson holding still watching Toy Story lasted for about 2 min

How cute is this sign the Hilton's made for us!

We hadn't even been to their house for an hour before my kids were playing in the water!

So I put on their swimsuits 

Rawson was in heaven being able to go outside all the time

Shaved Ice one day! This really put me in heaven!



We stopped to see the Gilbert Temple that is being built


Avalynn loved playing with Kylie and Reese


We went to Nordstrom Last Chance one day. It was quite the experience, a must do in Phoenix. 

A little hike after Last Chance


Dinner at Joe's Farm Grill one night was so yummy!!


Another day we went to Scottsdale do ride the trolley, walked around old town, and ate at a cute little diner called Sugar Bowl.



After lunch at Sugar Bowl we walked to a park where the girls ran free for an hour while Jamie and I played with the boys on the grass. 

Sadly the fun had to come to an end. Love these two cute girls together!

Brennen had left for Idaho a few hours before we got home, but these treat bowls and notes were waiting for us!

Thank you so much Jamie and kids for such an amazing trip!
