I didn't do a very good job taking photos on my trip to AZ 1/21-1/28, but here's what I got...
The kids built this snowman as we were getting ready to leave for the airport. Even though it's snowy, it was a very warm day.
James thought Owen would be excited to see the snowman.
At 5:30 pm, James and I boarded our airplane to fly to AZ. James was super excited!
Ready for take-off!
On Saturday night (Grandma's birthday eve) Sam brought over Grandma's big 80th birthday gift...
...a new hp computer so she can keep up with all her kids and grandkids!

Aunt Lisa picked us up in Mesa and drive us to Grandma's house in Sierra Vista. I am sad that I didn't take any pictures with Lisa or her boys, but we had a super fun time! Love you, Leees!

On Sunday we gathered at the Layton's (formerly Aunt Marti's--Aunt Marti & Uncle Ralph are now on a mission in Ukraine and Sam & Kris are taking care of their house) for Grandma's 80th birthday (and Cousin Scott's 23rd and little Travis' 3rd, and in spirit, Cousin Kevin's 33rd).

Later in the week, James and Owen enjoyed some cantaloupe at dinner time
On Thursday--our last day in town--Kristen and Owen came and took us to the park. James took his dinosaurs and made some new friends.
Owen got brave and mastered the slides!

After the park, we picked up Grandma and met Lacy and her girls for pizza at Vinny's.
(Lucy, Lacy, Peeps, Gram, and James)
The pizza was so good and we had such a good time with our AZ family! Thanks for the fun visits, Kristen & Lacy!!!

On Friday, Sam picked us up at 9:30am and we headed to Mesa to catch our plane. I tried really hard not to cry saying good bye to my Gram! It was fun to visit with Sam on our drive...it's never long enough! Our trip home was smooth and we were so happy to see Rich adn the girls at the airport. We went to dinner at Baja Fresh in Bozeman then came home and I hit the hay before 9pm. I was so dang tired! On Saturday morning, I went to the doctor and found out my sinuses and ears are infected, but the trip was totally worth it! Grammy, I miss you already, but I am so glad you have a new computer on which to keep up with us! HUGS!

Whew! What a trip! Thanks for blogging it cuz. Isn't our Grandma Lyn the cutest? Hope you're feeling well!
Glad you had a good time!
Sorry I missed you Maj, I am having fun as well with no kids to wrangle.
It is strange to be here with =out Dad or Marti. We're working on getting more things put away, the garage is a monumental task! Hoping to get to Tucson to see Matt. Sam and Elaine came on Saturday and took us out to eat at Texas Roadhouse. Sammy and Kris and Owie joined us.
