We spent the week before Thanksgiving with my family in Arizona, and Thanksgiving week in Utah. We were able to get lots of play time in, lots of good conversations in, TONS of fantastic food in, as well as two temple trips.
So, blogger is being crazy, and it won't let me organize the photos how I want to. Photos are ALL out of order, but after trying to fix it for the last 30 minutes, I've decided to accept defeat, and move on and put descriptions under the photos. So, if you're not Grandma or Grandpa, you probably don't want to take the time to go through the million photos and try to figure out what happened and when. Just sayin'...
Flying back home. Goodbye everybody! (I know this should be the last picture, but like I said, blogger is being a pill.)
Cute cousins
Cory was able to get some shooting in with his dad, Chadd, Travis, Brett, Trent and Cole.
Yeah, Cole!
Bunch of buff babies!... and crazy boys. It was SO cold!
Lots of the Utah kiddos playing on the trampoline. Can't wait to own one of these things someday!
Natalie with her buddy, Taylor
Cousin Anna was so great to read stories to Abi
Silly kids
My sister, Amy, received her mission call!! Cleveland, Ohio at the Kirtland Temple visitor's center!!
Abi still has a major crush on uncle Scott
Had to include this photo for Scott... I know he'll appreciate it. :)
Visiting my Grandpa Ellsworth at the VA hospital in Phoenix. He turned 93 this year. From left: Dad, Natalie, Abi, me, Grandpa, Ashley and Emily, and Aaron with his kids: Brooke, Logan, and Tanner.
Abi covered herself in marker... which wouldn't have been too bad, but she also covered the bed, pillow, and part of the wall with them. Nope. Not Crayola washable, either.
When I walked in and saw her she burst into tears, knowing she's made a "sad choice." But she sure was cute!
At the Phoenix Children's museum, making turkeys.
Loving on Daddy
Kids and cousins playing on the rocks outside the museum
Grandma Idaho sneaking into a photo. :)
The girls were mesmerized by the KitchenAid. They'd never seen one before and thought it was pretty slick.
Don't ask me why they do this
At the train park in AZ. There's a carousel, play areas, and a little train the kids get to play on. Pretty cheesy, Abi.
With Aunt Ashley and little Emily
All aboard!
Uncle Cory corrupting... I mean teaching kids with an internet game. :)
Reading with Aunt Amy
Natalie, Amy, Abi (who is sitting on girl #3), me, and Scott... Hey Scott.... who's the blonde? ;)
At train park again... playing on the stagecoach.
Abi trying her best to distract a very patient Anna
More reading time with Aunt Amy and cousin Logan
Natalie was doing Angela's hair. Super cute, ladies!
Making edible rocks at the Children's museum. Totally up Cory's alley.
Painting a rocket ship at the museum
We love Aunt Angela
What Abi thought about Ashley's cinnamon rolls
Whee!!!
Natalie was REALLY sick for about 4 1/2 days of our trip. High fever, throwing up, the works. Poor girl.
And these are just a couple of random photos here at home that I wanted to include:
The girls got bunk beds! And they love 'em. Here they are getting ready for bed.
Playing a "girl game" on Daddy's phone. Abi was really excited...
And I'm CAUGHT UP!!!

So lucky that you were able to see both families! Looks like you guys had lots of fun! :)
Looks like you had a great time! I am so happy that you got to go home! Miss you!
How fun!!!! The next time you are in Phoenix for a long stay we should hook up. We live on the outskirts. We can come to where you are :) DO you love how I'm inviting myself to come and see you? When I was looking through the pictures Kady said about the train park "Hey I know that place, I been there!"
