Catching Up...A Great Visit to Arizona!

Whoa...this is waaaaayyy late but we took a really fun, quick trip to Scottsdale in late January.  It was a great weekend because we were able to combine a fun State Farm gathering at the Gainey Ranch with seeing our dear friends, The Poortingas, and their sweet baby, Maree!  It was wonderful catching up with them & also enjoying a fun little adult getaway!  The kiddos got to spend a great few days with Grammy & Grampy which was wonderful!

Sweet little Maree--she has changed so much since this picture was taken!  She is such a sweet little baby & I loved holding her as much as possible!


We went to some pretty amazing places to eat while we were there-this was at Mastros Steakhouse where they LOVE Marc & Ellen.  We were treated like celebs by the entire staff & we weren't sure why they made us this special dessert with "Congratulations" on it but we think it was because Marc was bragging about Jeff's business which was really sweet. :)


We were having a blast at this point...




Jeff & I took these little cruising bikes & rode around the resort.  I love how even with shades on, his eyes are still closed in this picture. :)


A little pickup game at the pool with our SF buddies & Papa! :)


We had a great day of golf with my folks!

Aunt JeneƩ & Uncle Fun!

We were soooo excited to see my brother & Jenee for a couple of weeks while they made their big move from Michigan to Oregon!!  The kids absolutely adore them & their sweet dog, Gus.  We really tried to take as much advantage of their visit as possible with fun family dinners, a trip to the cabin & plenty of play & pool time!  I cannot express how much I have missed my baby brother while he's been in Michigan for the last 9 years & we are so happy that they will be closer & we will see them a lot more often!

Swimming at Nana & Papa's!


Jenee & Liv were working on an amazing synchronized swimming routine!





We had a big family dinner at Riverside before they left to celebrate an early Father's Day.  We hadn't all been together since last July for Dusty & Gina's wedding so it was cause for celebration!





Kids & Gina played with the chalk on the sidewalk




Bozeman in June...this view just never gets old.

Potential Christmas Card?


By the time dinner was through we had the place to ourselves!  Including the practice green so we took full advantage! :)

Watching a bee in the flowers was keeping their attention!
