Thanksgiving with my Family

This year was your parents turn to visit the Desert for Thanksgiving. It was so much fun to spend time with my parents. My Brother wasn't able to make it this year and he was missed. We invited our old neighbors Victor and Ellen to join us. The week was a little bit cooler then normal but it was still gorgeous. It didn't seem to hold the guys back from playing golf 3 days. I just feel so grateful to have such an amazing family and husband. Every year I think back about how luck we all are to have each other. It's so much fun to have our own little family and start making some of our own traditions. Since we have moved to Arizona the time that we share with family is so special and I try to enjoy every minute of it. Here are a couple pictures from Thanksgiving. Chase just can't seem to get enough of his Nana and Papa. He still talks about them visiting everyday and wondering why they left. He thinks they left to go and get George (my parents dog), check on the boat, play in the snow with boots on. It's so fun to hear Chase talk about what he thinks is going on......

Update soon to come

Hi Everyone,

I have been so horrible about updating my blog. All in AZ is going great. My parents just came down for a week and spent Thanksgiving with us. It was so perfect. I will update this week with pictures and try to get caught up.

Love you all..Steph

Vegas Girls Getaway and Lady Gaga Concert

I just got home from an awesome girls weekend in Vegas. It was the first time that I have left Chase over night with his Daddy. The boys did great. We went to see the Lady Gaga concert and it was so awesome. It was sold out and she played at the MGM. Over 17,000 people. She puts on a very good show with all the different props and costumes. Highly recommend going to see her if you get the chance. We did some pool time, relaxing, shopping, had our makeup done at MAC, yummy restaurants, and cocktails. On Saturday night we went and saw Jersey Boys. It was about Frankie Valli and the 4 seasons. It was awesome!!! Also highly recommend going to see that show. Really fun weekend but I was ready to get home and see my boys. I misses them both very much. I have an amazing husband that treated me to such a great getaway. Thanks Nick! Love you :)

Ponderosa Pines Camping Trip

We have been planning on taking a family camping trip over the 4th of July for the past couple of months. SOOOO looking forward to getting out of the 116 degree temps that have hit AZ. We love going up North about 20 miles outside of Payson AZ. It's only about a 90 min drive. Long story short our Motor Home (the HOG) wasn't wanting to run very well. We went to pick it up out of storage on Wednesday night and ir didn't make it home. Luckily Nick made it to an Auto Zone. Over the next 2 days we found out that it needed a new alternator and fuel pump. YUCK!!!!!! It wasn't finished until later Friday night so we didn't end up leaving until Saturday Morning. Which was going to make out camping trip a total of about 35 hours because Nick had to work Monday Morning. But let me tell you it was soooo worth it. It was in the mid 80's and love 50's at night. It was so beautiful and a perfect little break from this horrible heat. We went on a couple of awesome hikes and Chase LOVES the motor home and camping. It was so peaceful and perfect to spend time together as a family. Nick has been very busy with work. He worked over 65 hours that week leaded up to this trip. So we loved having his time and attention :) Despite all the $, problems, and Headaches that the HOG gives us it was a ton of fun. I forgot our camera on the hikes but at least I got a couple of pictures :)

Blog Format

I'm having technical difficulties with my blog settings. Sorry it's kind of all over the place. The captains aren't under the photos and I can't seem to get it fixed. But... look on the bright side I updated our blog :)

Sesame Street Live

Leaving the house for the show!!!!!



My Handsome boys! Enjoying our Family night



Couldn't get Chase to look at the camera but this is proof that I was there



Hard to get a good picture but it was an awesome show :) Made me feel like a kid again



My boys walking to the show (it was 110 degrees a little warm but still fun)



Queen Pizza for dinner before the show


We took Chase to see Sesame Street Live. He was in Heaven. He is just in love to Elmo and all the Sesame Street characters. It was at the Mesa Art Center, which is a totally awesome building and location. We went last Wednesday and he is still talking about it everyday at least 4 or 5 times. It's so fun to have him at this age where he is starting to enjoy going to shows and interacting with new things one a different level. He sat for 90 mins in totally awwwww and just clapped. So fun :)

Update soon!

Hi Everyone! I promise I will update our blog very soon. Everything in AZ is going well :)
