Get Your Kicks on that Arizona Trip

This week for us was mostly made up of a trip to Arizona with Ben, Hannah, Spencer and Brit. 

We left around 8 Monday morning. 

And stopped in Vegas for a buffet lunch and a chance for Spencer and Brit to see Daniel Mueller and his wife again. (Daniel is Spencer's former missionary comp that they saw last week. The Muellers are visiting from Switzerland )  

We didn't get to the condo until around 10:00 PM

Tuesday was Spencer's 25th birthday. Brittney made him breakfast in bed ...

and there were presents too! 

We hung around the condo all day, reading, doing puzzles and watching a movie!! 

And there was swimming too. Yeah pool towels!! 

That night we broiled steaks and had birthday cake for the birthday boy. Custom 'candle' by Ben. 

On Wednesfay we drove to Nogales, Arizona and crossed over into Mexico   

We walked around, doing some shopping and 

having lunch at a real Mexican restaurant!! 

Meanwhile poor Brady was going through shoulder surgery the same day!  His shoulder had continued to bother him after his rollover earlier this year, and physical therapy wasn't helping!  Hope you heal fast, Brady!! 

Still back in Utah, Thursday was chemo day for Nell. Fortunately Brittany came down from Idaho to help her. Eddi kept Britts kids while Britt helped out at Nell's. I'm sure both Brady and Nell would appreciate your prayers for their recovery 

Back in Phoenix, Thurdsay morning was junking time for Dad, me, Ben and Hannah.   I loved these colorful mannequins I found at the one antique store we hit. 

Ben and Hannah found these cat jammies for a buck at a Good Will. 

We went swimming that night but Spencer had to come back to the condo to take a test!  Brittany completed something like 6 puzzles during the week, Hannah joined in for about half of them. 

On Friday we were off to the beautiful new Gilbert temple for a session. We used names that J. Scott had found, and I got to do Polly Perkins. How fun is that? 

Later we attended a Diamondbacks game. That was pretty fun, even after Spencer got doused in beer when a fan in front of us tried for a ball with his drink in his hand! 

And they opened up the top of the stadium for fireworks after!! 

Then Saturday it was another long ride. We got home at 10:00.  

We knew the other dormer was done but didn't really see it until this morning. 

Today's been very lazy, just church and naps. Hope your week was good.
