The last few highlights from our Arizona trip

We finally made it to Prescott Valley!

Pictures with Grandma

Easter morning

Dan & Nancy's church had a egg hunt for the children

Our cabin was nestled among the pine trees in the Prescott National Forest.

The cabin had just enough cozy bedrooms for everyone including Nate's brother Jason & his wife Carrie who came all the way from Portland!

The loft was a little scary with no rails for the kids, but they thought it was the coolest ever :) Here they are playing with their homemade bucket pulley system.

Taking a walk near the cabin

Landry's dump truck is all-terrain

Bella found a treasure

On another hike near the cabin... throwing rocks in the lake...

throwing rocks in the stream... endless boyhood entertainment!

This was the chrafty custom cruiser's final road trip with us...

who would have guessed it's final destination would be the Prescott Valley Salvage yard

The transmission was failing us on the last trek through New Mexico, so we were grateful to get to Arizona before the cruiser broke down on us. We found another car to purchase in Prescott Valley to get us home.

Everyone came out to our cabin for dinner one evening...

here is Nate, Grandma, Violet and Jason (Nate's brother)

Saying our goodbye's... Jason & Carrie heading back to Oregon and we are...

packed up and heading home.

Happy Birthday Landry!

Birthday morning... somehow we have started the tradition of chocolate-chip pancakes for the special birthday breakfast! While mommy was cooking pancakes,

daddy gave Landry his 3 birthday surprises for turning 3 :)

He got a special hot wheel monster truck and two other hot wheel racers for his tracks.

It doesn't get much better than getting a birthday package delivered on your actual birthday! Thanks so much Grandma & Grandpa!!! Landry LOVES his new basketball :)

After an early dinner at home we took the kids to Chuck-E-Cheese for fun games & rides. Christy, Kate & Jonathan met us there with & Uncle Jad (visiting from Texas)!

This was Kate's favorite game... she probably played it 5 or 6 times in a row before we pried her away to try something new...

wee ones, watching all the action

Christy & Kate playing skeeball

Landry asked for a Monster Truck cake, so we just put his new truck right on top the dirt road!

We love you Landry!!!

Slide Rock State Park

It's all we could do to keep our scrambling adverturous toddlers from

toppling over the edge into the river!
