You are going to be seeing a lot of these pool pictures. It is pretty much all we did while in Arizona. We would wake up and get ready for the pool. The weather was perfect...a hot average of about 96 during the day. The dry heat was awesome and it really made my hair not frizzy...you know, one of the important things. At our hotel there were 3 regular pools, a kiddy pool, lazy river, waterfall in one of the pools and a water slide. Super fun! One pool even had a volleyball net. There wasn't many people there so we always had enough lounge chairs. I think that this will be a annual thing to go to AZ in October. It was perfect.

Lets get a close up of that face...
Kaiya taking a stab at it...
And a close up...so lady like. :)
Kaylee is the best photo bomber. Kaiya had no clue she was back there.
Ella was a little fish the whole time.
Another pose down the slide
I like her braid in this one
Cannon did a lot of sleeping. What a life!

Hi Jett...It's bright!!
They were being silly all day

Relaxing
This picture creeps me out but every time I look at it I laugh.
Cannon already trying to eat some Triscuits. Caught you red handed!!!
That night we went to dinner with an old co-worker of mine. We have kept in contact over the years and it was really good to see him and his family. When we were friends I was going through hard times with my ex and he was single. Even though he had no clue the stuff I was dealing with at home he was a really good friend and looking back I am sure I wouldn't have survived without people like him. He was sorta nerdy (he knows it too) and it is fun to see him get married and have a daughter of his own. His wife Erin is really nice and I can't wait to go back to hang out again.
After dinner we went for custard (ice cream). It was probably a million calories but a million GREAT calories.
Their daughter Brooke loved Cannon. She was always looking at him and wanted to hold him.
Ella got along really well with Brooke and her sister Holly
Are you sick of looking at pool pictures yet?? Don't worry. I have more!
As I sat there thinking how lucky I am to have an amazing husband and kids. What a wonderful life I have.
It was so hot that I took Cannon in to put his feet in the water. He loved it.
He was a happy baby!
Not so happy in this picture until he got a binky.
My 3 boys. Look at those studs.
SPLASH!!!!! One of my favorite pictures.
The girls were enjoying the noodles

There was a camp for kids each day where the parents could leave their kids. I told Kaiya I had signed her up to go. She was pretty upset. I am just surprised she actually believed me.

After pool time we got ready and headed to Mesa to see the temple.
Loved this picture of the trees
My blog is acting up so I am going to let this picture slide...and not try to move it. I have been working on this one blog all day and I really don't have the patience. Ha
There was a lime tree with a ton of limes. I wanted to pick one.
After the temple we dropped Kaiya off at her grandparents house. We had a few hours before we were going to pick her up so we got something to eat, which again took about an hour just trying to figure out what we should stop and get. Then we drove past my old house, the one my dad owns now. It is sad to see how much it has changed. There used to be a little patch of grass and 2 palm trees in front.
We found a Nordstrom Rack to shop, which closed about 30 mintues after we got there. A TJ Maxx was a few doors down so we stopped in there until Jett started screaming and had to be taken out. I was able to find Kaiya a cute ASU shirt.
We then headed to pick up Kaiya. I was sad that it was her last night with her family that lives in AZ. She had a lot of fun with her cousin Jasmin. Her grandparents took them shopping and out to eat. They got matching boots, some glasses and earrings.
I loved this outfit. It was one that Greg and Staci brought when they visited us in the hospital after Cannon was born. Now that it is freezing cold outside in Washington he wont be able to wear it anymore. Sad face.
