My Two Favorite Pics of the Girls and Our Favorite Guy in Iraq....We Miss Him!



Finally.... a new post....Fun trip to Phoenix


It has been forever since I've posted a blog..... I am hoping with my new Mac that blogging and uploading pictures will be a lot easier. So we'll see.... We recently went to Phoenix for Nate's graduation from Fuller seminary and had a mini vacation as well. It was super fun. We are really proud of Nate...the first in our family to get a Mater's degree.... the only problem is...he thinks he's smarter than everybody else... :)



My girls discovered splash parks.  At first they were pretty timid and didn't want to go in, but  Emma, my brave child, started running toward the water... Gracie soon followed.  They loved the splash parks so much, its so much fun to see the girls playing together so well.




Heather's parents came to see Nate graduate too and stayed at a Wyndem resort in Phoenix.  They were super nice to let us use the beautiful pool.  We had a great time swimming and laying out while the boys were golfing.....the babies loved it too!


Gracie and Emma found this dolphin on the bathroom floor (kind of gross ) while we were changing....they probably had just as much fun playing on it then the pool.

Tantie and Gracie at the resort....look how pretty the palm trees and mountins are....sooo fun!

The whole gang at the Diamondback baseball game.  The girls did great for a long baseball game....however, it was air conditioned, we sat in the all you can eat section, and they had a great kiddie play area.  I'm not yet ready to take Emma to a 100 degree Redhawks game.



Emma and Gracie love their Uncle Nate!

I am so proud of Gracie.  She has been TERRIFIED of all dogs,  but this week she and Nellie became friends.  She was even letting Nellie kiss her hand and Gracie was able to pet her!  Big Breakthrough!
