Sun, Family, and Fun!




This past weekend we had a wonderful weekend visiting Brock's two sisters in Arizona. We celebrated baby Jake's birthday, Valentine's Day, and just enjoyed spending some quality time together!


It was so fun to see our cute niece Chloe, and our adorable nephew Jake. Brock made sure to bring Jake a Utah State shirt for his birthday. He's recruiting em at a young age now!

The girls had a fabulous day shopping in the best outlet mall in Arizona. This was one funny moment during the day when we found a great deal on jewelry and obviously took advantage of it!

Overall, it was a much needed vacation. We are so grateful to have such an awesome family. The only sad part was getting use to 70 degree weather and then coming home to a snow storm! I pretty much convinced myself that I could make Arizona my new home, but of course I haven't been there during the sweltering summers.

Here is a video of Jake putting himself to sleep after a long day of shopping...

Yay! I found your blog off of Alyse's - it is super cute! I can't believe you two are going to Germany this summer - that will be amazing - holy cow. I hope your student teaching is going well - I miss you girl. Anyway, I'm glad I know how I can have a little bit of contact with you as a blog stalker. Haha!

Looks like you had a fun trip! I love the video of your nephew falling asleep. Colby was watching it with me and said, "Shhhh". He didn't want to wake him up. Ha ha!

Hey you guys, I went to High School with Erin Shepard who linked us to your blog. Scott was so jealous when Brock sent him a message from AZ while we were in freezing UT. It looks like you guys had a great time.
