...and what a vacation it was...


Our six day Arizona vacation started out with a limo ride to the resort.  I can't tell you how long it's been since Tim and I were on a long vacation with just the two of us.  It has been a long time coming.  With both of us loving the heat, as we do, what better place to visit than Arizona.  With temps soring well above 100 degrees, we were in heat heaven.  We travel to Arizona at least once a year, usually to see family.  The Desert Southwest is one of the most beautiful places in North America.  It's not just a desert, and those of you who have been there know what I mean. Tess stayed at grandma and grandpa's in Wenatchee and was spoiled rotten.


Hello sunshine!  The sunsets in the desert are some of the most beautiful I've seen. 

We stayed at the Hilton at Squaw Peak.  What a fabulous resort, spa, and water park.  We played in the water, slept in, got a couples massage, played golf, and ate great food.  I'm so thankful we had this opportunity!  I can't wait for next years vacation.  Until then, here's to wonderful memories from this one.

Playing catch up


This summer sure has flown by.  We've been so busy and gone so much that I haven't had much time to update the blog.  We've taken full advantage of what little sunshine we've had this summer.  Tessa loves playing in her pool.  I think she should have been born with fins.


We went to the fire station with our friends Tara and little Ireland.  The girls had fun.  




We had a blast on the 4th of July.  We enjoyed great food and fireworks with our wonderful friends the McMillan's and the Sipes'.

Tessa's favorite part about the 4th was by far the loud fireworks.  She laughed and jumped up and down every time she heard one.
