Arizona Fun

I just thought I'd finish posting pictures from our AZ trip, which was in March, but better late than never, I guess. I'll try to spare you most of the commentary since there are loads of pictures here :).

Cousin bath time!
Jake spent a lot of time on this tricycle and Bryce (my brother) spent a lot of time pushing him around. Jake preferred Bryce do it and he just couldn't resist Jake's continual requests because he's just too darn cute.
Poor Hailee ended up sick one day. Luckily it really was only ONE day. It's no fun to spend your vacation like this...Oh, and if you know Hailee, you know she doesn't just fall asleep on the couch in the middle of the day like this. Poor girl.
Outdoor playground at the mall where we had a little picnic.
Kaleena put together this cute little family home evening. The girls had to follow clues around like a treasure hunt. They loved it!
A little victory dance after they found the prizes (the paper heart necklaces w/a message that I unfortunately can't remember).
The kids and I were able to get out to Glendale one night to visit the Stones (Ty's sister's family) . Here's Jake feeding the ducks. I think he ate more of the bread than he actually shared with the ducks.
Brady taught Jake some skateboarding skills at the park.
Look how Jake is looking at Brady...he looks so enamored.
This boy loves the swing and his sister had a blast pushing him.
This boy was a born basketball player. Look at that form! He is obsessed with basketball and he does NOT get that from his parents.
Here are all the cousins except Carly. Unfortunately I took this after Carly went to a neighbor's house to babysit. Jake was actually crying because we had just told him it was time to go.
We had a fun celebration of St. Patrick's Day, all day long. It started with this fancy schmancy table set for breakfast,which included all green foods, of course.
The girls go matching dresses from Grandma and Grandpa.
Kaleena had this cute idea to show the kids a bunch of ingredients to make a special salad that everyone was going to help with. We distracted them for a minute and when we brought the girls back into the kitchen, we found that the leprechaun's had taken all of our ingredients! I thought Hailee was going to cry she felt so bad for us.
We decided they couldn't have gotten far because we only had the ingredients moments ago, so we urged them to go look for them outside. It turned out the leprechauns had hidden all of the ingredients around the yard and along with the different ingredients, the leprechauns had left stickers and bracelets for the kids!
It was also Grandpa's birthday, so we had a little party.
What a fun trip. It's always great to be able to spend time with the out-of-staters! Thanks for listening!
