our week in arizona

sadie and i just spent an entire week in arizona!

we missed will a ton, but had a really fun time!

the main reason we went down was to be there for my sister's baby shower.

it was a beautiful shower and we are getting so excited for little addilyn to get here! 

there is always a good feeling that comes along with going back to your hometown.

we have a great support group of friends and family down there and had fun catching up.

i went paddleboarding on tempe town lake with my brother, 

hiking up to the wind caves with my friend metzli,

running along all of the freshly paved canals (in shorts!),

swinging with sadie at the park and bouncing her on the trampoline at my parents' house,

meeting up with friends for lunch and frozen yogurt,

visiting with my grandma and cousin tanner for an afternoon,

and taking maternity pictures for my sister and her fiance.

we made really good use of our time down there, 

and i even got to sneak in a couple of naps while my mom or brothers watched sadie. ;)

the plane rides were more difficult this time since sadie is more wiggly than a few months ago.

luckily people were very understanding and complimentary of how sweet she was.

when we got off the plane, a nice family help me carry my carseat and base out past security.

then i got to see the best sight ever... my sweet husband waiting for us with roses in his hand.

he also brought a gift for sadie (the new "big hero 6" movie).

he knows how to treat his girls! ;)

it's good to be home and together again as a family.
