Hanging with Taylor & Catie at the Pool!

Ah, June! Love having all this free time...to sleep in, to take little trips, to hang with the cousins, to play in the pool! We are really are enjoying having the pool in our neighborhood! We have utilized it quite a few times (and may head there again today!). This time we had Taylor and Catie with us.  Taylor swam lap after lap. Catie wouldn't get in...but Uncle got her for that!
 Ker-SPLASH!


 Ah, this girl, this girl...so very very special to me!


 Oh and my Lil Dude! What can I say. I love him so!

 Catie Renee! You can't just sit on the side and not expect to get wet!

 Mimi and Pa sitting in the shade, reading their books!

 Tay and Uncle racing in the pool!

 This monster was outside our hotel. It was HUGE!


 We had a fun time at the water park...Big Surf.



 Breccan managed to 'catch a wave' and rode it almost all the way to the shallow part of the wave pool. After the wave receded, we were like "WHERE'S BRECCAN!" and finally found him in the shallow end!

 I love the Saguaro cactus, and we had to get pictures by one!






 We stopped to eat at this little diner and after looking at the stuff on the walls, the worker told us how this little cafe was the meeting place of the imagination team that put together the movie Cars. This little town played a big part in that movie, with many buildings being replicated for the movie, the owner of this cafe is the model for one of the statues in the movie, and the Cozy Cone Motel was modeled after the Wigwam Hotel.





 'MATER!

 We drove forever to see the Four Corners on the way home, and the kids were a bit underwhelmed. Not really a lot to see! They were like "ok, let's go shop!"



Arizona Vacation

We headed to Arizona for Aaron's graduation party. It was a really nice long weekend! Here are a few shots there!




 Breccan followed Aaron around the whole weekend!!


 YAY!!!!!! He did it!


 Bay found this saguaro cactus flower on the ground. She had it for the day and in the evening it closed up!


 BayLea LOVED hanging out with Lacey!

 We needed a few portraits with Grandma!
