Family in Town

We were lucky enough to have most of Jennifer's Mom's family (the Beals) come to Arizona for the holiday's. It was so much fun to be able to see Aunts, Uncles, and cousins that we don't see very often. We had a blast visiting with everyone. We hope they all come back soon.

We missed those of you that couldn't make it.

This is a trip to Costco one day. We went with Jennifer's family to get more supplies for the crowd. We found in the middle of the store some comfortable seating, so the kids opted to sit and wait for us to finish the shopping.

This is Carter, Triston, and Grandma.


Taking a break to visit a little.
Does Costco make everyone this tired?


Janessa, Jemece, Reagan, Steve and Brad hanging out on the couches.

Walker, Tanner, and Konner reading a Guinness Book of World Records.

Lunch at IN-N-OUT.

YUM!!!!!

Carter and Reagan hanging out on the farm.

Fire out in the cow pasture. We all had fun throwing in sticks and watching the flames.

Chef Carter making some more food for everyone.

He loves his footy jammies.

Konner and Reagan the spy's. Konner got a spy book for Christmas and these two had so much fun reading it and making up codes and doing other spy things.

Boys and video games. They spent a lot the the vacation doing this.

Tanner, Jaron, Walker, and Konner.

Tanner, Walker, and Konner at Ridemakerz. Grandma and Grandpa decided this was their Christmas present to the kids (except Reagan who decided she didn't really want another one). They all had a blast picking out and building their own car. I heard a few times, "This is the coolest store ever!"

Making plans to go to the "Heart Attack Grill". One of my cousins had heard of this place in the Phoenix area where they serve HUGE burgers, they call a bypass double or triple or quad for how many patties, and flat liner fries, they serve NO diet soda and the waitresses dress like nurses. The guys were all so excited to go. Then they drove all the way there and the place was closed for renovations. They were so bummed, or should I say steaming MAD!! They ended up at Red Robin. Not quite the same thing. Steve still wants to try sometime, if any of you are up for it next time you come to visit.

Reagan, Konner, and Jeremy having a snowball fight. Yes, you heard that right, here in AZ. My family drove through A LOT of snow to get here, and for days there was still snow on top of their van. One day my dad made a bunch of snowballs and started throwing them at the kids, then it got a little crazy. These three really got into it.

Reagan did tell them she wanted them to bring her snow for Christmas, and they delivered although not on purpose.

Emmaline, Triston, and Carter getting a wagon ride.
