Hanging in the (480)...

What I love about being around lots of family in Arizona is that there's always someone to eat, talk, or a play a game with.

Before we all got sick we did squeeze in some fun.

Headed to the train park in Scottsdale.


In the tunnel!











We saw the Princess and the Frog while the guys went shooting. Brock managed to dump his popcorn tray, 2 suckers, and my nearly full Diet Coke all over the floor.
Jewels and Brock literally danced in the aisles. And we let them.

The whole reason we were there was for my nephew Lucas' farewell.
We all signed a pillowcase for him and watched Susan do a jig to Cameron's banjo. Check the family blog to see it.
The whole family watching the football game. I didn't see Brock for 4 days after Janece brought over Geotrax. I know what I'm getting him for his birthday. Notice the orbs again...
The sisters and mom. My sister Julie is pregnant with a boy. Miracles do happen.
Marshmallows for breakfast when you are at grandma's house.
Austin fell off Jewels' chair and hit a table. John was holding Austin over the kitchen sink with blood gushing out. I thought he was going to die. I started crying like a little baby. Then once we were in urgent care they were stapling his head (not a sound you ever, EVER want to hear) and the doctor threatened to kick me out because she thought I was going to pass out. I told her I was fine.

 I lied. I wasn't.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! So did you pass out?! I don't blame you! It's all fine and good until it's YOUR KID that gets their head stapled!

You look so much like your sisters and mom. I've never seen so many gals look so much alike. I'm glad you had some fun ;)

Oh man! I would've freaked out seeing that much blood. Wow! Hopefully that won't happen too much...but...with 3 boys...you might be doomed to repeat that again.

You all are gorgeous by the way!

I am kinda throwing up at the picture of his head! AHHH, that is so sad, and so nasty. I am glad you didn't pass out.
Looks like AZ was so fun, I need to get there soon, this snow is KILLING ME!

We LOVE geotrax. We bought our first set for E when he turned 1. Mason is really into trains right now. He will spend hours in the basement. Definately start your collection. So sorry about Austins head. OUCH! Also I love your big family picture in white in the background that is really cool.

I love the pillowcase idea! I'm stealing it. Seeing photos of your old house really takes me back, it's awesome. You're not cool until you have Geotrax. They're the best things in the world, my guy's almost 7 and still plays with them.

Looks like a fun trip!! Staples in your head? They do that? I would totally pass out!

Lindsay said...

Ahhh! Poor Austin! When does he get the staples out? After all Brocks trips he must've wanted in on the action. I'm sorry you were sick too. Do u feel like u could run the ER now. ... Or own it?
