whirlwind trip

A few weekends ago me, my brother and my kids made quite the quick trip to Arizona to see my dad. It went something like this... Friday: drive from Salt Lake to Gilbert, AZ (12 hours-ish) Saturday: up at 4 am, 3 hour drive to Safford, 7 hours with my dad, 4 hour drive to Greer, AZ, few hours with fabulous friends Sunday: drive from Greer, AZ to Salt Lake (10 hours) With a 2 and 3 year old and almost 30 hours in a car in 3 days... all I can say, we must love my dad!

Saturday morning on the way to the prison-- nice pancake Mac

peek-a-boo

Sienna's attempt at peek-a-boo with a pancake

the only picture proving our visit with my dad-- and yes we were getting screamed at by a prison guard to not take this picture, but we got it!!

with that much distance you better believe we saw some beautiful scenery

THE END.

she did it!!

After we left the museum that day, we walked past a little jewelry store and I asked Sienna if she wanted to get her ears pierced and she said SURE! (Sidenote: Sienna has wanted her ears pierced for awhile now, so we took her and she freaked out, so we left and continued telling her it was just a quick pinch. I figured it would be years before we would get her in the store again.) I was shocked but did not take her serious because of the last time. She went right, wanted to sit on the chair by herself, and did not even cry.

Afterwards we ran into another store and here she is smiling at herself with her new earrings.

She is so proud of her new earrings and that she didn't even cry!

Happy St Patty's Day

We had the greatest St. Patrick's Day, we had Omar all day! We went to the Dicovery Gateway Museum for a fun family outing!
