Our Trip to Arizona to Visit The Parker Family

We had a great trip to Arizona. We left Friday and returned Sunday. It was a short trip but totally worth it even though we got SICK! It was so great to see the Parker/Shumway families. It had been a long time since we all got together and we sure had a blast. Danny just got home and Spencer is leaving on his mission to Guam. These Parker boys are sure AMAZING. I'm so glad we are related. Here is Lizzie and Grammy on the car drive to Arizona. Lizzie loves playing with her Grammy even though she puts her diaper on backwards.
Trying to pass the time. Lizzie thought it was so funny to put a wipe on her head, plus it kept her cool as we drove though the desert.
My FAVORITE.... Aunt Carol... I love spending time with her. She has a heart of GOLD! She is putting together her Primary sharing time. She is so creative!

When we got there on Friday we ate dinner as a family and then we played games till all hours of the night. Bekah and I thought it would be fun to learn how to drive the Vespa so here we are riding it like PROS!

Well when I get the rest of the pictures from Bekah I will finish the post!

Picture Tag

The rules are you have to take ten pictures of the following things. And you have to do it right away. No straightening, cleaning or wiping your child's nose. Then you tag five others.

1. The Fridge Our fridge is pretty empty since we are leaving on 2 SUPER FABULOUS VACATIONS within the next 2 weeks...

2. My Closet

I'm a little crazy about my closet. This was the selling point of the house for me. I have always dreamt of a walk in closet, and I FINALLY got one. The rest of the house could have been blah... and I still would have bought the house because of my LOVE for the closet.

3. A Self Portrait

Thanks to the timer on my camera you get this super amazing shot of me after a LONG day working on the house. Thanks to our family for always having great FHE ideas, and coming over to help us with our sprinklers and hanging pictures on our blank walls.. you guys are the BEST!!! I couldn't have asked for a better family because I got the BEST!

4. My Favorite Room

I know I'm crazy but I love this room of the house. It is just so cozy and warm. Plus this is where we spend a huge chunk of our time playing and just hanging out. I love snuggling up on the couch and reading a good book.I can't wait to turn on the fireplace....

5.The Kitchen Sink

My sink is pretty gross I really need to clean it! You caught me!

6. The Laundry Room

Our Laundry room is always pretty clean nothing too exciting to see in here...

7. The Toilet

Our toilet is pretty clean my flash really washed out the picture.

8. What my kid is doing right now

SLEEPING OF COURSE. DO you really think that I was going to turn on her light and take a picture of her? this is the best shot you are going to get. She looks beautiful and sleeping like a baby.

9. Your Dream Vacation

This vacation is going to come true in less than 2 weeks. Hawaii here I come!!!

10. Your Favorite Pair of Shoes
