Arizona

My parents were so sweet to let me and Eve crash their trip to Mesa/Queen Creek, AZ. My dad grew up in the area and the majority of his family still lives there. It is nice to be able to go to one place and see everyone in the same trip unlike my mom's side of the family which is all spread out now. It was such a blast and we stayed in the nicest 2 bedroom condo with a pool and hot tub, which was so nice having a whole bedroom for us so we weren't keeping her up when we put her down at 8. I have missed the sun for so long, it was wonderful to feel it again on my white, cold skin. Then of course I come home to snow, BLAH! Where is the beautiful spring weather? Poor Dave had to deal with our basement flooding during a huge storm the day after I left. I want my St. George sun and red rock, oh I miss it soooo bad.

Eve is teething right now, so she is constantly biting at her fists or anything else she can get a good grip on, including mommy's hair. Good thing I chopped it!

My beautiful baby and I. Her hair does look red in this picture and yet so brown in others. Weird.

Can you believe the size of this hot tub? Yikes! I still can't believe my parents got in during a 85' sunny day



Eve and Grandma at the pool

Eve was such a trooper, even though she was awake for most of the car ride home



The Mesa, AZ temple

My dad holding up Eve for a picture on the temple grounds



Mom and dad in front of the beautiful Mesa temple



I promise she was actually a very happy baby 99% of the time, just didn't like the fact I took her out of the pool. She LOVES the water




Can anyone say farmers tan? Hehe


Just a fun picture with her giant bow headband, but I love it!
