So much has happened over the last month and a half, I'm not even sure where to start. I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves. You'll see a recap of a trip to the park, Easter (including the day before Easter when Anna and I went Lattin's Cider Mill for a huge Easter egg hunt...very cool!) a visit to my parent's house, and of course, our glorious trip to Arizona. It's impossible to move pictures around once they're on this site (grrr) so my apologies on them being out of order.
These first pictures are from our trip to Tucson for our friend's Matt and Kelley's wedding. We had a BLAST! The kids did great at home with Dane's parents on Thursday and Friday and then my mom on Sat and Sunday. I was pleasantly surprised at how well they did...makes us want to take another trip now that we know they do just fine! :) Dane and I quickly slipped in to the "no kids" role, sleeping in each day, laying by the pool in the morning, getting in a nap every afternoon and enjoying drinks and great conversation with friends in the evenings. We enjoyed a lunch out in Tucson one afternoon, and then went to see a movie...in an actual theatre! That never happens! They even had a fishing pond, so one afternoon we took in an hour or so of fishing! One evening, we played several games of tennis under the lights which was a lot of fun. Especially because I won. The wedding itself was beautiful. It was literally out in the desert and HOT, but beautiful. They had an amazingly gorgeous cocktail hour which included the best sunset, and then the night finished out with the reception around the pool, with an full, open bar and lots of delicious food. Good food, good drinks, and good music = perfect night. This trip was just what we needed and we felt like newleyweds all over again. It was rejuvenating.
This was my perfect Mother's Day gift from my kiddos. (we got home from AZ on Mother's Day and my mom helped them make these). It made me teary.
Beautiful Arizona sunset during the wedding reception.
The ranch/resort that we stayed at was really beautiful!
Mike, Matt, and Dane...the three amigos from the days on the cruise ship.
The honeymooners... :)
In the desert for the wedding...5:30 p.m....it was HOT!
Kelley and Matt...it was perfect!
Look at that monster I caught! :)
All the horses...Tanque Verde Ranch was an amazing place!
Here's Drew at the park when we visited my parents last month. He's such a big boy!
Silly Grandma...playing in her princess castle. :)
Cowgirl Anna
Anna very excited about the first egg she found at Nana and Papa's house on Easter
Anna taking a tour of the fire truck at Lattin's Cider Mill. This place has a ton of farm animals, fresh apple cider, fresh apple fritters, and lots of games. They hold a HUGE egg hunt every year for Easter. We had fabulous weather this year! It was just mommy and daughter though cause Drew was home napping through the whole thing.
Anna and her BFF Leah, waiting for the horn to blow so they can get all their loot!
My little man looking all handsome.
This was well over a month ago...I think it was the first sight of sun, but it was still frigid. So we bundled up and headed to the park!
Such a happy boy.
