More of our Adventures...

We had a fun surprise visit from Grandma and Grandpa Gilbert and Aunt Katie! It was so fun to have them come visit us and spend time with us while we are here. While they were here we went to the zoo, did some shopping, went to the train park, and enjoyed their company.


So excited for the train!!!





We love the carousel!!

Jackie favorite thing to try on in the store are hats and shoes. And she loves to look at purses!


After Grandma and Grandpa left the kids and I went to the library. After the library we went outside to the Civic Center Plaza and there were Native American dancers and so we watched them for a little while. The kids were fascinated!









We went to the zoo again with some friends later on in the week. We love the zoo! But this time we let the kids just see what they wanted to so we saw the monkeys, zebra, and we tried to see the giraffes but they were gone somewhere. And then Jackie loved the petting zoo and the fun different playgrounds! She doesn't usually get to play on those too much because we are busy seeing the animal so she loved getting to just play!















Our Bishop's wife had a little Easter Egg hunt for the kids Saturday morning. Jackie was a little tentative to pick up the eggs off the ground but she finally got the hang of it by the end! It was so cute. She mostly loved just getting to be with her friends from church and playing with them. The bishop's wife made lunch for everyone and she is such a great cook! Everything she makes is seriously amazing! She made a teriyaki chicken for a ward dinner the other night, for the kids Saturday she made dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets, pigs in a blanket, and macaroni and cheese in a cupcake pan so there was a small serving size for them. Then she also made pulled pork with the most delicious homemade barbeque sauce ever with homemade buns and a yummy pasta, spinach, and chicken salad. Anyways, it was so much fun! The only thing that would have made it better is if Robby could have been there with us as he had to work.



The other morning while I was in our bedroom I heard Jackie with Logan in the other room, and she was telling him to say "cheese" for a picture. She finally came in to get me and to complain that Logan wouldn't say cheese! So she decided to sit next to him to help him say cheese for a picture. So here they are saying "cheese!" and so happy in the morning!


We are so sad we only have a little while left here in sunny Arizona! We have loved it so much! It has been such a great experience for our little family. We are excited to finish up school though BYU-I next semester and graduate. Robby will start graduate school in August at ISU so we will stick around there for another year which will be fun. But then hopefully we will be back!
