Breaking up our girls day of shopping with a lunch at Chick-fil-A ... yummmmmyyyy ;)

a roadtrip to Sedona for the day!  so cute to see Blake reading to Reese :)

a nice hike in Sedona.  beautiful scenery.

burning off some of that energy!
lots of time spent in the gorgeous pool :)
I could get used to this view :)
"Take my picture underwater, Mom!!" #littlefish

evening card games (no tv service, no iPads = good 'ol fashioned fun ... like the old days, we told the kids!!)
JUMP!!!! (and repeat ... over and over!!)
2nd stop at Target ... #ihearttarget
boarding our last plane in Calgary, almost home
twinsies ... reading sports mags and talking stats

bff's (most of the time!), sipping apple juice and coloring :)


I really didn't take that many photo's but those were some of the highlights!  We had a fabulous time and were so blessed to have a gorgeous house to stay in!!  A HUGE thank you to Sue and Randy, who own the house (I know they'll never read this but we are so grateful for the use of their gorgeous AZ home).  Thank you to my parents for visiting us and making our time extra special and thank you to my Aunt and Uncle for also visiting us and having fun with us all :)  We were also lucky enough to spend some time with the Donaghey's, thank you Sam and Jen for the yummy dinner and for letting the Cameron kids spend hours in your pool ;)  We also spent lots of time with just the five of us and we loved every moment - so grateful for this time away!!  The highlight of the trip for me, was just seeing how excited the kids were at every moment - we had people all around us on our first flight, smiling at their excitement!!  None of the kids remember their first flights, so it was all new to them and their joy was contagious ... even at 6 in the morning ;)  They're still talking about the trip and I am glad that they are all old enough that they will remember it forever, as will I!!  #heartfull

Hope you enjoyed the photo's!  ttys :)
