Arizona Trip

This past weekend Scott and I had the opportunity to go to Arizona to see little Jake be blessed by my brother, Nick. We took this opportunity to have a nice relaxing vacation while we were down there. We arrived on Thursday and drove back home the following Monday. It definitely wasn't enough time to hang out with Nick, Morgan and little Jake.

Morgan was a great hostess and had dinners and activities planned for us while we were down there. Nick, unfortunately, had to attend his law classes and study. However, he did a great job of having the nights free to be with all of us.

On Thursday, Scott attended one of Nick's classes with him. This gave Scott a good opportunity to get a taste of law school and know what to prepare for. Scott came back from that class more excited than before to attend law school. Scott and I also were given a tour of the law school at ASU and had the chance to talk with some of the students. We really enjoyed it.

On Saturday it was a boys only and girls only day. The boys got up and headed out to golf for the day. Scott sent me a text saying that he almost got a "birdie". I told him that I was proud of him....however, what I didn't know was that the "birdie" was actually a duck that he almost hit with his golf ball. The girls had a very girlie day. We played with Jake and then went to the mall and went clothes shopping. It was great to be able to spend sometime with my sister-in-law and my precious/perfect nephew.

Later that night we all went to walk around the Mesa Temple and to walk through the visitors center. It was absolutely breathtaking!

We are sad that we had to come home, but are excited to see the Bartons in a month!!!! Nick and Morgan, I expect Jake will be a cute leprechaun for St. Patty's Day. ha ha

Enjoy the below pics:

Cute little Jake
Jake absolutely loved his Uncle Scott. Scott made funny faces that Jake would try to copy. Here is Scott sticking out his tongue.
Trying to figure out what Uncle Scott is doing now.After careful study, he has now figured out how to make the face. So cute!


The beautiful Mesa Temple



The blessing day. Trying to take family pictures, but we seem to be missing Kyle....



After realizing Kyle wasn't in the picture, we apparently all had the same reaction

Jake has quite the personality already. He absolutely LOVES to dance. He usually performs, what we have named, the Irish Jig. However, in the following video, Jake decided to debut his "hoe-down" dance move. Enjoy!!!

My apologies, I do not know how to rotate a video.
