arizona!

we spent the last five days visiting family and soaking up the sunshine in arizona!! we heard there was a snowstorm back east? hmmm... too bad ;) anyways, we had a blast, as usual, eating, drinking, playing pool, playing by the pool, and making silly faces;), which always happens. we took a day trip to sedona, which is GORgeous!! the views of the red rocks is phenomenal and the town is too cute. we also got to celebrate grandma grupe's birthday!!! thanks to matt & amanda (&baby!) for being such awesome hosts. we want to come back!!

also, in case you were wondering.... collin did an ~amazing~ job on the plane!! i was so worried and brought along crayons, books, movies, and toys, but i didn't realize the endless possibilities of fun with a plastic cup & spoon, or empty bottle of vitamin water. seriously entertained him for a majority of the plane rides!! that, and flirting with the ladies, as usual.

here are some highlights of the trip...

day trip to gorgeous sedona & lunch at the cowboy cafe:



















matt & amanda have two BIG dogs!! they are both sweethearts, and had a lot of fun playing with collin. collin got used to them right away and spent the majority of the time at their house saying "doggie!!!!"







we got to spend some time at the playground in the SUN!!




















happy birthday grandma grupe!! we're so happy to be able to spend it with you!
