Quick Trip to AZ

A couple of weeks ago Trevor and I took a quick trip to Arizona. My sister, Amy, had planned a Welcome Home/30th Birthday party for her husband since he had recently returned from serving in Iraq and turned 30 about a month before he came home. I hadn't planned on going but when I got an email on Tuesday from Delta with their weekend deals, there was a good deal on flights to Phoenix. I knew my sister, Mary Anne, wasn't planning on going since she also lives in Utah but if you know Mary Anne, her heart is in Arizona! So I decided to tempt her with a trip home. She did some rearranging with some photo shoots, made deals with her hubby :), and the tickets were bought! We left Saturday morning, got a rental car in Phoenix (a huge THANK YOU to my dad!), and drove the 3 hours to Sierra Vista. We walked in the door and my mom was in the kitchen. She turned around and saw us and the look on her face was priceless! Tricky us, we didn't tell her we were coming! Everyone else ended up finding out one way or another, but we really wanted to keep it a secret from my mom. It was great to see everyone from home. We flew back to Utah on Tuesday so it was a fun, but short trip! Sadly, this was the only picture I got from the trip. I'm really bad at taking pictures lately (which is why the blogging has been sparse!) but just wait....Halloween is coming! I can't wait!

Family Pictures Fall 2009

My sister, Mary Anne, took family pictures for Rob's side of the family a couple of weeks ago. If you'd like to know what Trevor thought of the whole thing, just look at this first picture that Mary Anne got of the boys...

Apparently, he liked being inside the truck better than on the hood...

My handsome, blue-eyed boys...

Trevor still not diggin' the whole picture thing...

And my blue-eyed beauties...

We went down to Cheryl's house the night before the photo shoot so that we wouldn't have to drive an hour and a half the morning of our 8:30 am photo shoot. We stopped at every Target along the Wasatch Front trying to find a couple of sweaters that I had seen online for the girls. No luck at ANY of them, so we ended up with these shirts that I'm not totally in love with, but when you're trying to find certain colors to go with everyone else, you get what you get (I actually ended up leaving the tags on Ashlee's and returned it later...shhhh, don't tell!) Plus, I forgot hair things to put in their hair, and thus not the cutest hairstyles...oh well!

I really like these ones of Rob, his parents and siblings...

Thanks again, Mary Anne. You are the best!

Lil' Grizz Cheer Camp

Ashlee and Brynlee went to a Lil' Grizz Cheer Camp at Logan High School. They learned a dance and a cheer one night and then performed at halftime at the football game the next night. The pictures are awful because of the lighting and movement but oh well! My friend took the ones in the gym since Rob had the camera out on the field while we were inside waiting. My camera battery went dead after one shot of Ashlee on the field. They had lots of fun!

Go Grizzlies!
