Arizona-February 2014

Going to AZ is always a blast.

The trip (on the plane) not so much. Especially when flying alone with a 14 month old who loves to walk/explore/get into everything. But we survived both flights (to and from) thanks to our tablet and Baby Einstein.

Pay and I spent 2 weeks there.  Daddy came a week after we got there and left the same day as us...but took a different (cheaper) flight home.

Some of the things we did include...

GILBERT TEMPLE OPEN HOUSE
So sad Nick missed this but grateful my mom could join us. Girlfriend was an ANGEL during the whole thing. Except for when we got outside and she saw all the water.

PLAYED WITH COUSINS AND AUNTS AND UNCLES AND HUNG OUT AT GRANDPA AND GRANDMA'S
This makes my heart sing.

Pay loved following Tootsie and Toby around.

We had Valentines Day Dinner with Sterling and his family.

She really is becoming quite the ham.

 "Where's Payton"

Then she saw the flowers.

PICKED DADDY UP FROM THE AIRPORT AND HAD THE BEST REUNION AT IN-N-OUT
I LOVE how happy these two were to see each other after a week apart.

SAW BIG RED AT GRANDMA AND GRANDPA GREAT'S
Grandpa Crandell is restoring this 1949 dump truck and actually uses it to help with my Uncle Don's roofing company.

14 MONTH PHOTO SHOOT IN GRANDMA AND GRANDPA'S BACKYARD

BASS PRO SHOP
Got baby girl her first AR. Just kidding. It's a lighter.

TOOK SOME PICTURES AT THE GILBERT TEMPLE
...since Nick wasn't able to get to AZ in time to go the Open House. It was also nice to be able to go without the huge crowds. We went at dusk and it was absolutely beautiful.
