Sisterly Bonding

My sister Kathryn came to visit for the weekend! Yay!

Weekend started off with a bang getting a flat tire after picking her up at the airport. She didn't let that get in her way of starting her relaxing vacation, though. :)

Got some baseball action with some pretty wicked seats that a friend gave us. Go D-backs!

We all have huge smiles after chowing down some park 'dogs'. Mmmmm....

Got a picture after church with an 'Arizona tree'.

Making cookies in the kitchen that she re-designed for us.

Cheese.

Can't come to Phoenix without a little poolside time.

Had some fun at the mall. Kathryn got a sweet make-over at Mac.

Eating carbs at Mellow Mushroom. Mmmm.....carbs.

Off to the airport...... :(

Thanks for coming to visit. We LOVE visitors!

Phoneix Bucket List #1

Michelle and I decided that it was time that we got out and did something. We have been living in Phoenix now for close to 3 years. There are many wonderful things in Arizona that we have not done yet, so we have created a Phoenix "Bucket List" of sorts. The list is long and we have just over one year to complete it. We will update, as we cross items off of our list

Item #1 VISIT the GRAND CANYON

What we did at the Grand Canyon
1- We posed by the entrance sign to the canyon



2-Took pictures of the canyon
3-Took pictures of a hot girl overlooking the canyon
4-Sat on the edge of the canyon
(Michelle will tell you "sat OVER the edge of the canyon", she is probably more accurate)
5-Jumped at the canyon

6-Saw the California Condors of the canyon
7-Discovered an ancient tower in the canyon (Still under construction)
8-Were reminded that only we can prevent forest fires, in the canyon
9-Tree in the canyon
Had a great trip, and really enjoyed our time at the canyon.

Wedding

My friend Jen got married last weekend, so I was able to fly up to SLC for her wedding. It was great to see her again! It was also a good excuse to see some family and friends over the quick weekend trip.

Candace stopped by one night for some long-awaited 'girl' time. Yay for grape cream slushes! I'm pretty sure it helped you win your race!

Amy (previous roommate) met me downtown right before the wedding for some delicious mac'n'cheese! ahhhhhhh yah!

Met up with Whitney (also worked with her in the OR) and husband Luke at the wedding. It was a little chilly waiting for the bride and groom!

Jen looked GORGEOUS! Ryan didn't look too bad, either. :)

Loved her hair!

Such a cute family! I can't believe you just had a baby, Whitney! You look amazing as always.

Stopped by to see my friends Lisa and Mike and new baby Jaxson! I'm so glad it worked to stop by in between wedding festivities!

At the reception in Deer Valley, they had sleigh rides for the guests.

Puzzle Race Girls vs Boys. The boys won, but I think they had a slight advantage....

My niece and I enjoying some ice cream.

Mom showing me how to use the coolest apple peeler! Mmmm....apple crisp.

Of course it was too quick, but it was fun to get away for the weekend. One of these times Pete will have to come with me.... :)
