Another trip - Arizona

So, this weekend, we took a long weekend (Fri - Mon) and drove down to Mike & Lisa's in Flagstaff, Arizona...Papa and Grandma Knopp also drove down to our house and then drove down there with us. I don't think it is possible for us to stay home for long! (= We had a great time.

On the drive down...Andiee insisting on wearing my sunglasses, even though they kept falling off her face

Andiee having lots of fun roaming around uncle Mike and auntie Lisa's house...and pestering the cats

Andiee loves her auntie Lisa...gave her lots of hugs and kisses and thought she was sooo funny!

We went hiking in Sedona....beautiful and warm. Andiee loved hiking and playing on the rocks!

Beautiful view of the red rocks

January...back home

We got back home just after New Years...with 2 days of unpacking and settling in and then our family grew to 4 kids while we babysat the Gilliland kids for a couple days while the parents were in Florida. So overnight, we became parents of a 4 - ages: 1, 3, 6, & 8! Talk about busy! (=

Andiee...happy to be back home and playing in her own room!

New Years 2009

We spent the week of New Years with my family in Ephrata for a couple days then went up to our condo in Coeur d'alene, ID for New Years weekend and had a blast playing in the snow and relaxing....there was about 5 feet of snow up there and it snowed much of the time we were there...it was so pretty. After that the 3 of us ended our vacation with our long drive home to Utah to stay for a while...I hope. (=
