Roap Trip Continued to AZ....

We were lucky enough to be moving the same weekend as Kristen and Spencer were blessing their cute little baby Elijah. We have always wanted to go visit them in AZ but had never been able to before. We had a VERY long day of driving and got there just in time for dinner with all the family. Dan’s mom was there as well as Kristen’s parents, her sister, Randy & Megan, and Coach B. It was nice to be able to visit and relax with all of them!

Abby and Aidan LOVEd having "Uncle" there. They wore him out with all the games and activities they involved him in during the weekend. Dan loved it just as much though!

The first night we were there they played probably about 20 games of Hungry, Hungry Hippos, of which Aidan won all of them except like one!

The older boys all went outside to play Frisbee and Aidan joined them to watch everything very up close and personal!

Dan was excited about this catch!

The boys were all able to do a few fun things including going off road jeeping with Spencer's new jeep. Dan was a little more fortunate than Randy. They both didn't have seat belts on and Randy just happened to be the lucky one to gash his forehead open when they went over a bump!
After everyone left but us left on Monday morning we were able to spend a some more quality time with Kristen, Spencer, and the kids.

Dan and I had bought birthday gifts for Abby and Aidan a few months back but never mailed them. They didn't mind too much getting gifts late and unexpected though!

Aidan and Dan playing with his new Hummer. I have never seen Aidan go anywhere without having a car in hand.

We got to watch the kids one night while Kristen and Spencer went out. They were so tired from all the fun games they played with Uncle during the day that the three of them fell asleep pretty quick!


I even got to catch up with a few zzz's with Eli as well!

Kristen and Spencer also took us to a neat AZ wildlife outdoor museum. I didn't get any good pictures really, I will have to get some of the one's Kristen took and add them sometime.

Thanks Spencer and Kristen for such a fun visit!

After spending a few days with them we finally made the last LONG leg of our trip to our new home. We drove all day and all night with a quick short stop to say hi to Grandma Crandall in St. George. I missed out on taking a picture at the Nevada and Utah state line. I think the only thing we had on our mind was to get our road trip finished!

We are so glad you could make it to Tucson! We had so much fun visiting with you guys. The kids loved, Loved, LOVED having "uncle" to play with. Good luck with your new location in Utah!
