Grand Canyon

On our way home yesterday from a fun filled weekend in Phoenix we decided to stop by the Grand Canyon so the girls could see it! I know there are pictures from yesterday. Those were taken with my phone. These are from my camera!

My Nerds!!

Don't they just look cute!!!

Cousin time

Megan and Hannah have had so much fun playing today!

Taco Bell

We wanted something other than a hamburger or chicken fingers for dinner tonight on the way home. What we thought would be a quick drive thru visit turned out to be 45mins! They messed up David and Jacob's
order it took them forever to fix it! We are back on the road again headed for home! We have about 5 more hours!

Grand Canyon

We stopped by the Grand Canyon on the way home! David, Jacob and I saw in the summer of 2007, but Emily was in Europe in a trip. We were this close so we thought why not stop so Emily, Hannah & Megan could see it! It is pretty amazing how GOD created this earth and this is just one of HIS beautiful creations!

Lunch time

If we go to a state that has a Cracker Barrell we have to eat there at least once! Emily found the one in Flagstaff, AZ that we ate at a few years ago on our way to MO!

Colors if the world!

Sharpies on the trip!

Arizona

Just a few pictures as we head to Flagstaff!

Little Miss Fix It

Ava and Hannah had a blast playing with Ava's car!

Cactus anyone

We got a picture of the girls by a cactus! This things are big!

Swim time

The kids loved hanging out at the Yarger's house! The minute we got there the kids hit the pool and were in the pool for about 3 to 4 hours! It was awesome getting to see them! Thanks Yarger's for having us over!!

Big kids

I like this picture on this kids!! The boys are talking to their girlfriends, Emily was talking to one of her friends!

Crib Mates

Ava & Hannah were crib mates in the orphanage in China! It is amazing to watch these two girls together! They have a wonderful time together!

Best Friend

Ever had a dog like this? My son had a golden retriever named DJ that was just like this. We miss this dog greatly! He was the best dog!!

5th night

Flexie Lexie

Hannah did such a great job at gymnastics today that she got to bring the flexie Lexie frog home for the weekend! To earn the rights to bring it home you have to listen to your coach, she was able to do her leg flexes all by herself!
The smile on her face was priceless when she walked out with the flexie lexie frog!

Handy right

Hannah was wanting David to right his name on her note pad! She looks at David and says she is handy right! "right handed" she says the funniest things! I just love this little girl to pieces!

4th night

I have been taking a picture a night for a week of Hannah sleeping. Tonight I have two. The first one is if Hannah she looks like a frog! The second one is of Jacob. I went to say good night and he was sound asleep on his floor with the CARS movie playing in his computer! Love moments like these!

The adventures of Emily's foot

Emily made this picture of the many adventures of her foot!

Nap time

Hannah was so tired today! She was whinny and fussy! I ask her to go take a rest on her bed you would have thought I committed a crime! Those were awful words in her book! She fought taking a nap today, well the looks if it the nap won! I think it is so funny how she sleeps in different positions! She has been asleep about 2 hours!

Chipotle lunch!

I'm lucky! I now work 40 hours a week ontop of classes, and I only have a 30 minute lunch break. Mom and Emily were in town, and they brought me chipotle! I don't get this often anymore, but man was I thankful for it today! It's Been a tough week so far, and I needed a little treat! Really appreciative of a mom and sister that love me!

Update on dad

My mom is on her way to LA to pick up dad!

Emily's dr appointment!

Emily had her doctor appointment this morning! Everything looks really good. Her ankle and leg are all lined up like it should be. We saw David the PA and he said she could start putting weight on it, but she still has to use her crutches to guide her! He told her that she can get into the pool once the holes from the staples are closed! Over good appointment and she is healing well! She will be in the walking boot for about another month to six weeks!
