We took a trip to Arizona to visit family and friends and enjoy the sunshine. (Here in Minnesota we have forgotten what it is like to have the sun on our faces.)
On Saturday Doug was able to golf with his high school friends, Brandon and Parker. I was able to visit my most wonderful neighbor and friend, Juliette. We took the kids to the park and then we were able to go out to dinner that night together. I had a great time laughing and talking with Juliette. It made me realize how much I miss her. Someday hopefully I will be able to live next door to her and have more adventures together. (Wallet in garbage--classic--love ya Juliette!!)
Andrew loved AZ. He didn't want to come home. Nixie, Malloy, Andrew & Jacob.
While we were in Phoenix we stayed with Brandon. The boys loved playing in his oasis backyard. We played silly string and with the balls. It was so nice to see the boys run and play outside. They loved every minute of it!!
We all were able to take in a Spring Training game in Tempe. We watched the A's vs. Angels. Doug was able to find tickets online that were on the second row behind home plate. Andrew went with a mitt and was ready to try and catch a ball. He was very dissappointed that one never came our way. We were too close and there was a huge net right in front of us. All three boys loved the game and I enjoyed being outside with my family. Brandon bought the boys each a hat. Andrew wears his everyday, Thanks Brandon!
We enjoyed the Phoenix zoo.
We spent half our vacation in Yuma with Leslie and Melinda. The first day we were there we all went for a walk. Andrew walked one dog. Melinda had a leash hooked to her dog Tally and Jacob also had a leash hooked to Tally. I'm not sure who walked who, if Tally walked Jacob or the other way around. Jacob loved feeling like he was so big and walking the dog.
Soaking up the sun in the pool out back. The water was a little cold, but we found a way to play with the water anyway. We all had so much fun in Yuma with the girls. Games, movies, lots of really good food, and lots of laughs are always found when we get together with Leslie and Melinda. We miss you guys sooo much. Hopefully some day we will be a little closer again!
At the park in Yuma. Dad had as much fun as the boys.
Jacob loved the dogs! He didn't want them outside, but also didn't want them inside because they would bother him. When we left he didn't want to leave the dogs. I guess when Leslie and Melinda come in July they will have to bring the dogs with them.
When I asked Andrew what his favorite thing was from the whole vacation, he said he liked to play Melinda's video games. That is what he has talked about the most! He wants us to buy the dragon game that he played in Yuma. (Thanks Melinda, I guess we know what we will be buying for Christmas next year:) )

We had a great vacation. Thanks to Brandon, Parker, Juliette, Leslie and Melinda for a great get away. Four days after we were home we got 8 inches of snow. Oh how I love a Minnesota winter:(
