Turns Out...

that when you live somewhere sunny and gorgeous people actually want to visit you. We've had more visitors in the three months we've lived in Arizona then we did the entire two years we lived in Logan. We love it!

I've said I was bad at taking pictures. So to make it up to you...

First we were able to see my cousins Lori & Amy and my Aunt Karen & Uncle Bill - they live in the South so seeing them out here in the West was great, even if the trip was stress, tears, hospital stays, and a funeral (not in that order).

To surprise my aunt and uncle, my parents came down - read the description above for a summary of their trip as well. An AZ redemption trip will be required.

The following weekend Fred's cousin's crashed at our house for a couple of days on their way from California to Arkansas. In 'n' Out was had and Nordstrom Rack was experienced. There was also some hula hooping.

Next, Fred's parents flew out west from Arkansas to visit his sister and were able to squeeze in a couple days with us. I feel horrible about their visit - I had just gotten home from Utah and had lots of work to do, & Fred was booked solid for school - so they caught up on sleep (from driving straight through the night from Vegas). They too will need to come back - when we can actually play! Please note: Fred did find time to take his mom to the golf store - shock! Then my sister Sydney came for a dental workshop. We ate yummy - expensive pizza, shopped, vegged, went to a chick flick, and thift shopped. It was great. Too bad I was in a lame shopping rut - and didn't buy a thing. I know. I'm disgusted too.

Then last weekend, our good friends Amanda and Brandon came down for a wedding. We hot tubbed and hot tubbed, the boys went to the Phoenix Open, baby Brooklyn and I went on walks and had girl talk while Amanda did wedding stuff. It was nice to have good friends around - we miss that!
mmhmm hot tub hotness in a bathrobe...

This weekend, Tadd and Kelly were in town from California for another wedding so we got to see more friends.

Who wants to come next??
