337 Goodbye Sky Harbor

(sorry LT, not the best photo)

Today we made the long haul back to Ft Benning. We will be there about a week and a half and then we are on to bigger and better things! 

I just want to fast forward through the next two weeks though... anyone know how to do that?

336 Grandma's House

Last day in AZ!

We are certainly not happy to be leaving, but we are excited to go home and prepare for our new adventure...moving to South Carolina!

We spent the day with my mom, and had dinner with her and the LT's mom and step-dad. 

This picture in at my mom's house. There are a ton of pictures of my sister and I in front of this fireplace. You can even see some hanging up on the walls too! The girls had their toys out all over the place, and Zena photobombed it, but this is my home and there are so many happy memories there. I am glad to have a picture of my girls here too!!

335 Pool Shark

The straightest shot west of the Mississippi.

334 Temple Lights

We took a trip out to the Mesa Temple to check out the lights with Grammalicia tonight. It was a was a gorgeous evening and we enjoyed the lights as well as the company so much!

333 More Catch Up

Another day, another dear friend!

332 Catching Up

Today I stopped by to visit an old friend. We had a great time visiting, it's so easy to pick up right where we leave off, no matter how much time as passed. I also got to meet her new sweet baby boy. He's waving his little foot "hello!"

331 Photo Shoot

I shot pictures for a friend's family tonight. I had a blast because they are such a fun family! We hit up Old Town Scottsdale and tried some fun shots under the moon and Christmas lights. I LOVE how they all turned out!

330 Mommy Day

My mom taught the lesson in Relief Society in her ward today, so I ventured up to sit in on it. Afterwards, we grabbed lunch at Jalapeno's and just enjoyed a nice afternoon together.

I miss her so much and am so thankful for the time we get to spend together!

329 All Together Now

Well, I tried to get a photo of all of the kids together.

This was as close as I got.

Little miss just doesn't like having her picture taken.

But hey, they're all in it, and you can see their faces for the most part. 

Twenty years from now, it will be such a treasure!!

328 Twinners! (sort of)

Today we enjoyed Thanksgiving #3 with the LT's mom's family. The food was delish as always!! The DQ and her grandma were thinking alike when they got dressed today!

326 Cousins

The LT's cousins came in from Colorado for Thanksgiving. Bean has sure enjoyed playing with the girls. It has been super for her to have kids closer to her age to play with!

325 Surprise!!

Tomorrow is a big birthday for the LT's step-mom. Tonight we surprised her with a huge party! She had no idea it was coming. It was a fun time. The LT's dad, sister, and step-sister really went all out for a phenomenal bash!

(and I'm so glad it's over and now I don't have to be careful about what we talk about!)

324 Scottsdale

We haven't had a car to use everyday like we did last year, so we are getting around any way we can. Today, the LT and I walked to the mall a mile away. I love that mall and miss it so much! I never even bought that much there, but it is just a fun place and as a family we hung out there a lot.

We got a close up look at this new condo development going in as we walked home. There was an old Spanish-style apartment complex that sat vacant for years here before. They recently tore it down and put this up.

It is a wild looking building, but I really love it! And it is a definite improvement over what was there before! I sure love this town.

323 Evening Walk

The LT and I took a walk tonight after eating waaay too much again. We passed by the school that I taught at for two years before resigning to move to Georgia. 

Over the past year and a half, it has been scraped and rebuilt. This is a shot of the playground from the street. My classroom used to sit right in the middle of this field. 

322 Night of the Living Dead

Ok, so not really. I am alive.

It was close for a little bit though.

(not really)

We spent the day at the LT's mom's visiting with family. I spent a lot of time on the couch, but am feeling better now.

I certainly enjoyed the sunset this evening!

319 Rainbow Cloud

Spotted one of these in the sky again. 

Love it!!

318 Yuuuu-um!

We hit up our favorite Mexican place tonight... It may not be the best ever, but we've been eating here for twenty years! (That makes me sound really old!)

We love their salsa and home made chips, especially their flour tortilla chips! The LT was smart enough to ask for a basket of just the flour ones.

SO delish!!!

317 Sud Run

Auntie E signed the kiddos up for a Sud Run that her friend's husband had organized. They had an obstacle course that involved a large pit full of suds. They had a great time. Bean especially loved the bubbles. She was soaked from head to toe! (This is outfit #2)

We are so loving being here!!

316 Birthday Celebration

My little niece Soph turns 3 this week! After family dinner tonight we sang to her and ate some cake. These four are SO happy to be together again!!

315 We're Heeeeere!!

In AZ! And we couldn't be happier!!
