So to start off, we left after I got out of class on Friday. Me, my Mom, Becks and Syd. We drove to Albequerque got a hotel, went swimming (which I think was the only thing Syd wanted to do the whole trip) then set off for AZ the next day.
Becks sleeping during our car trip. His lips are so cute!
Sydnee was sick in the hotel, poor baby
Once in Mesa, I went to my fav sis-in-laws Gina's house (Sorry Anna Marie, you are such a close second, but I see Gina more often) We went over to R's mothers town home for dinner. The kids and I stayed the night at Nate and Gina's house. Sydnee got to have a sleepover with her cousins. I've decided that even if I'm divorced from R I still get to claim his family as my own.
3 beautiful girls
Stitch (Tenille) Sassy (Sydnee) and Annie (Julianne)
Cousins (minus Noelle)
Grandpa Eagar with Sydnee and Tenille
Sydnee has always loved Grandpa Eagar, as a baby he was the first person she recognized and called for after Mommy and Daddy
On Sunday we went to Grandma Guchi's house in Tolleson. We had dinner at my Uncle Dave and Aunt Melody's house. My cousins took the kids on gocart rides around Tolleson. Beckham especially loved it!
Becks and Bryce
Nana, Beckham and Cardon (hey Cardon, you look like that in every picture I have of you)
Sydnee had noticed a few days before that she didn't have a mumu that was her size. My amazing Grandma made her one in only a few hours.
Isn't she so beautiful?
Sydnee with Grandpa De's Moose, she kept petting it and singing to it
Beckham in the infamous Grandma Jones rocking chair. I used to sit in that chair as a kid. I think every Jones cousin has fond memories of that chair!
Becks and his determined face running around Grandma's yard
After Tolleson we went to Chandler to stay with Fawn and her family. That night after eating REAL Mexican food, we had Mesa Frozen! It's my absolute favorite!!! It was great, it was the first time in a really long time where I felt truly happy! (see earlier pic)
Becks eating frozen yogurt. Thomas the train goes everywhere with him and he always has to feed Thomas
We met up with Grandpa Iannoli and played at the park
Sydnee and Grandpa Iannoli
Beckham and Grandpa Iannoli
The kids spent sometime at Grandma McBride's house for lunch so Fawn and I went to LJ's Pizza together. My favorite restaraunt!
One night we had GIRLS NIGHT OUT! While at Olive Garden I saw Mike and Sarah Rogan! It was so incredible! I was hoping to see them. Sarah is prego with TRIPLETS! Holy cow, but they are going to be absolutely amazing parents, and I'm sure their children are going to come out as little musical prodigies.
The Girls
Emily, Gina, Fawn (with baby Faleen) Brea, me and Erin
There are so many things I didn't take pictures of. We went to Neilsen's for dinner and met Sean and Ashley, Dusty and Brad, and Ryan Jorgensen. It was quite the reunion of my junior high friends (I can't believe we didn't take any pictures!) It was so fun, so exhausting, but really great to be with my friends. I miss AZ, especially my girls! Maybe we'll come visit this summer but for now. I'm back in school. I'm really trying to make it through this week. R leaves to move to AZ on Friday. I'm ok some moments, but most of the time, I'm heartbroken. If you happen to think about me, Syd and Becks sometime this week. Please pray with us that we will feel comfort.
To all those in AZ who I miss and love, thank you, thank you! For all you've already done to help me breathe again.
