Hello Arizona!!!

Sarah, Willa and I flew to Arizona a week before Dan came out for a show in Tempe.  It was the most perfect weather ever!!  Blue skies and sunny every day!!  We flew out first class, which proved to be quite comfortable with an 18 month old.  Willa was great, she loved the plane ride, slept thru an hour of it, ate and played -  and didn't really disturb anyone around us - except when she threw her little elephant blanky onto a man's lap that was sleeping...oops, sorry!

She's quite the little traveler!

Showing Grammy her funny face!

(Great)Grandpa Jeffrey was in town and we went to visit (Great)Grandma Jeffrey in the nursing home where she was in rehab for her recent knee replacement.  She's doing great!! They loved seeing and spending time with Willa - it's been a long time since they've seen her! (okay, they loved seeing you too Sar! :-)


Kelley had us meet her at a great place for lunch - food was wonderful, very different from the usual old lunch spots, healthy too!

Willa tried many new foods this trip - she's checking it out!

Of course we had to try the tiara on the little princess!  Shopping at boutiques seemed to be our quest this trip!

We managed to accumulate some shopping bags...never a problem for us!

Willa loved playing in a box at Joye's...she acclimated very quickly to Joye & Doug's house!

She loved the little cars that she found in Joye's toybox...better go shopping Mommy and get that princess some cars!

Speaking of princesses - this is Princess Logan!!  All dressed up in her princess clothes and high heels!  The apple doesn't fall far from the tree!  Reminds me of all the dress-up and shows we had when the girls grew up (Sarah, Julie, Kelley...)

We were baby-sitting Logan & Jake while Julie was at work!  We missed you Jules, but managed to have a good time!

Princess Logan - again!

Yum, tortilla soup - one of Sarah's specialties - she put us all to work in preparing this meal, it was a good time!


Some cute videos!
Jake & Willa pushing Logan...

Jake & Willa driving together...go-go-go!  (Willa's new words!)

Dance, dance, dance!

We had a great time - thanks to all for the great hospitality!

I had a problem with my camera and a lot of the pictures are blurry, so you'll have to fill in on your blog Sarah!

Love to all!

Logan saw the picture of Willa in the crown and said I wish I could have a crown like Willy-Wills! haha! The videos are funny - where are Jake's pants?! :o) So glad I got a dancing spot on your blog. Ugh! :o)

Joye said...

sooooooooo cute! We sure had a good time with all of you guys here! We should go into the babysitting business together......it's the only way i could do it! Love you!

I figured the Jake-on-the-box pic was a lucky catch with him up there looking like he was hanging out for a while... but really it was just a split second. Right?? ;o) hehe...

Lynne said...

Right :-)
