Our trip to Arizona

Arizona Cactus.

Visiting Casa Grande, Olivia was loving spending time with her Grand parents.  It was super windy, so this was a really quick trip, but there was not a whole lot to look at there anyways. 

I love the cactus with purple on them!  Had to get a pic!  Unfortunately I could not get more pics becuase the weather was pretty yucky.

one of my favorite pics from vacation!  Liv and Grandpa Berry having a conversation together. 

Elijah sure loved Grandma Berry, it was so sweet how he cuddled with her and smiled at her!  So glad we got to go down for a visit!

Dan and Liv at a really fun park by Grandma and Grandpas, Dan and I had a blast there as well!

Becuase I missed the really cool sunset on the first night we were there I was determined to get a sunset pic, we were on a walk the first night walking away from the sunset, as we turned around and started heading home, we realized, there was a beautiful sunset and we were to far away from the house to get the camera in time.  So these will have to do. 

Because I am never in the pictures we did a hold the camera out and snap,  This is difficult with my camera,  but we got one!

On the way home we pulled over at an abandund gas station to feed Elijah.  So of course a picture was in order!

We stopped a lot to go the bathroom, feed Elijah and go the bathroom, traveling with a three year old that had to use the restroom a lot, a five month old that wanted to eat a lot and of course to fill up the tank!

On a long desert highway...............cool wind in my hair...............

................and finally back in Colorado!

Valentine's Day

Our morning started with Liv and I and acutally Elijah to waking up to make Dan a special Valentines breakfast before he went to work.  We made him hear shaped eggs and bacon and toast.  We also had a fun Valentines party for preeschoolers that Christine, Jess and I put together. It was a really fun time! 

Dan bought me a dozen roses and attached scripture verses about love to each of them.  Super sweet.  He also gave me a super sweet card, which is all I ever ask for is just a card with somthing written it.  Dan and I got to go out and leave both kiddos home!  Thanks to one of our students who was an awesome babysitter!  Olivia just adored her! 

Dan and I want out to dinner and just shopped at Target one of my favorite things to do without kids, is just look at all the CLEARANCE!. I love TARGET!!!!!!!!!  We also went to coffee trader and just chatted!  It was fun having time alone!  Which we loved and need to do more often!  If we had free babysitting we would certainly taken advantage of that a lot more!  What a fun day!

Lastest Happenings

We have been a little busy lately, I guess thats always how life is!  We finally got a chance to enjoy the outdoors and enjoy why we moved out to Colorado!  We drove to the mountains twice this last weekend and enjoyed some sledding on Saturday, boy is it good to just get out of town!  Then on Sunday we went and soaked in the hot springs with the Pollards.
