Arizona

This past week, we took a trip down to Arizona to see some family. Brady's mom, grandparents, and great grandma live down there. Great-Grandma has never met Taylor, so we thought this would be a good time. Brady decided to drive the 12 hours down there...I was so scared! I have never been in a car that long...and I was so afraid of how the girls would take it! It turns out that the girls do better on road trips than I do! They slept the entire way. While I could not fall asleep for more than 20 minutes at a time. But once we got there, the ride was so worth it! We had beautiful hot weather the entire week. Brady's mom has an amazing pool in their back yard so we layed by the pool every day, had amazing food everyday, and spent time with some wonderful family! Grandma Carolyn taught me how to make her famous pie crust...so we made blueberry pie. While that was cooking, I beat Grandpa at gin. (that's a pretty big deal) Another big reason we made the trip down there was to get a 5-generation family picture. Starting from Kailyn and Taylor going all the way up to their Great-great-grandma! What a blessing that is! We also headed over to the Luke Air force Base to watch some F-16s take off and land. They were right in front of us as the took off and landed. It was so amazing to see and hear those planes! Brady and I have a soft spot for planes. Thanks to Grandpa for taking us on base. I am so glad we got the chance to make it to Arizona to see family. It was such a great time and we will do it again soon. (hopefully, we can fly next time...)

I really wish I took more pictures with family! I just don't think about it until its too late.

Grandma and Grandpa believe in safety before fashion...
An awesome "cave" just like in Aladdin...(Kailyn loves the Disney movies"

Taylor hangin pool-side...keepin cool

Grandpa Bruce flew one of these planes when he was in the Air Force
Family picture...I promise Taylor is in there too. This is how close we were to the take off and landings...this isn't zoomed in at all
I love this picture...they are about to take off...
We were so close! I loved every loud second of it!
