Phoenix Trip

Last weekend we went to visit the kids in AZ. It was great. We left Wed. morning super early (3:00am) I don't know, do ya think we were just a little excited. We stopped in Beaver at the Timberline restaurant for our favorite breakfast...avocado and bacon omelet and cinnamon rolls. When we arrived in Phoenix we stopped to see ShanTay at work then on to Mike's.

Thursday Tony and Hannah started the day with a game of soccer at the park. ShanTay had the day off so we spent most of the day with her. She taught me how to do facebook and we started decorating her apartment. Tony and Hannah took Bailey for a couple of long walks around the complex.

Yes her pictures are sideways. She is going to put different pics in them latter.


The almost finished wall... She will add some things on her shelf.




On our way back to Mike and Jess' for dinner. Poor Hannah was so tired that she crashed.



We did some craft projects. Here Hannah is making a hot pad with her loom. She chose the pattern and the colors. I thinks she did a great job.




Next we made some flip flops. It was a little hard for Hannah to get the knots even at first, but by the end she was a master. She said "It's easy when I concentrate."




Great job Hannah!!



Saturday we went to watch Hannah at ballet. I tried to take some pictures but we had to stay outside and watch through the window. She is doing so good. Afterwards we went to visit ShanTay at work. Hannah had a great time playing games on ShanTays phone.



Saturday after ShanTay got off work she and Jaymon came over to Mike's and we played games until 1:00. It was so much fun laughing, talking, playing cards, and eating. I love spending time with these guys.
Sunday we headed back home. We intended on going all the way but we took to many side trips. We drove through Sadona and Cottonwood canyon, then across Cedar Breaks. There was still alot of snow on top. I don't think the road had been open for very long. We made it as far as Beaver and were to tired to go on. We must be getting old.
Monday we made it home and wouldn't you know it the only nice weather was while we were gone. We had intended on planting our garden Tuesday but it has been raining ever since. I'm so ready for summer to be here!!!!

:) I'm glad you guys had a wonderful trip. You are always welcome. I posted a few of the videos that I took from Hannah's last ballet class today. Some were too big to load, but I'll try to get them to you.
