Arizona heat!

This past weekend, I went to Arizona for my Uncle Larry's wedding. It was a short trip (sat-mon) and it was full of things to do. I did lose 5 pounds while there, mostly because I was busy and skipped 2 out of 3 meals each day. :) Anyway, here are some pics from the trip.

First day, I took Lexie and Dillon (Larry's kids) out shopping for clothes for the wedding. They showed me this... which of course I had to take a picture of for Chris:
Another cool palm tree? ..... No! It's a telephone poll! So awesome. I think cities should make them all look like this. Then, it was wedding time. They had the wedding in the backyard. This picture above is of my old bishop, Terry Williams. Have you ever met someone who simply radiated love? This is that person. He is so special because he makes you instantly feel loved. It just radiates from his being. I was so happy to see him!
Boy did we have a nice time at the party! Larry's closest friends came from far places too and they were awesome! They helped set up and we had a really nice time talking and laughing all day. I wished they could have stayed a bit longer. I wasn't ready for the fun to end, and I just enjoyed making new friends. I can't say enough about Larry's buddies. Kind hearted, fun guys. Enjoyed them all immensely. I got the see my cousin, Mary and her family while I was there. Her baby, Taylor, made me wish that I had brought Sarah with me. They would have had lots of fun together. I also got to visit with my old roommate, Haleigh. She is due to have a baby boy in 3 weeks and looks amazing! She looks no more than about 5 months pregnant. I just love that girl! Below is her daughter, Aubree. Isn't she a cutie? She is quite a smiley, happy little thing. All in all, great trip.

Summer is coming!


So, school is almost out... and we are ready. Can't wait for the needed break for all of us. For Mother's Day, Chris helped get the back yard ready for summer. We planted some plants and spruced up, and we got out the pool cover and already I can tell such a difference in the temperature of the pool.
Abby is going on a diet... I don't know why they say she needs it as skinny as she is. :)Chris says he can tell when I get baby fever, cause I start getting the itch to adopt lots of animals. We saved this dog from the pound today... I love boxers and couldn't say no. You know what they do to dogs at the pound!!! He is not in pretty shape at the moment and fits his name, Rocky, because he is a little beat up. He was attacked by a pit bull. But he is a happy, nice guy.
