ARIZONA TRIP


Finally we got to go to Arizona to see Sophia!!! It had been WAY TOO LONG since we had seen her! The boys had been talking about it for weeks and were so happy when it was finally time to leave:) Koston and Teagan are excellent travelers and for the most part keep themselves entertained!
If you don't like this pic then scroll down...I think it's Hilarious!

Koston thought we were joking about throwing things off the bridge...I'm so happy that he can read now so that he was able to see for himself:)


The boys were already so sick of posing for pictures:( What the he!!... It's the first day of vacation, GET USED TO IT!!!


We got to Flagstaff and went straight to Sophie's game. She looks so stinking cute in her softball uniform!

After the game we went to pizza in Downtown Flagstaff. It's so beautiful there!



We woke up early the next day and headed to Phoenix for a HOT day at the amusement park! Jesse got pulled over for speeding but was released with a warning after the officer was schmoozed over by the three cute and excited kids in the backseat:)






I think we went on the log ride 300 times!


So... Koston and Teagan are complete opposites when it comes to being scared! Teagan has absolutely NO fear! Not sure if that's a good thing and I'm sure I will hate that in the years to come. He definitely walked away with the BRAVE AWARD that day! Koston on the other hand is my not so brave child:) Actually he's more of what I would call a scaredy cat...That's okay though! After a few emotional moments he realized his calling on the scary rides was to be the cheerleader on the sidlines! (ha ha.. by the way no one tell him I said that)

I somehow convinced Sophia to go on this ride. Still not sure how I did it, but we ended up going on it 3 more times!

SLIDE ROCK

Slide Rock is in Sedona, Az and it is GORGEOUS! It's a natural waterslide down the rocks..We had so much fun here:)


Jesse sat on the sides to get a tan since the BIG cry baby said the water was freezing!


Um...MY KIDS ARE SO FREAKING CUTE!!!!!!



Our last night there we went for Mexican at Sophia's request. "Little Sopapilla" is what Jess calls her.. so she insisted we have some! We had such an amazing time with her and were SO SAD to leave! Our little family doesn't feel right when she's not around, and we can't wait for her to come stay with us in August! WE LOVE YOU SOPHIA!!!

The boys were amazed at the size of this jerky!

We left Flagstaff and took the VERY long way home to Utah. We stopped in Lake Havasu to see if it was a place that Jess would want to transfer to. It was a beautiful lake but WAY WAY WAY to hot for my liking!




The boys were so good on the drive home! On the last leg of the drive we drove down the Las Vegas strip for the boys to see...They couldn't stop looking out the windows! They thought it was the most amazing thing:)


It was a wonderful vacation and we had so much fun but we could not wait to sleep in our own beds!!!!
