Spring Break: Sedona, AZ Part 3

Lots of parts to these Spring Break posts!  The next day we went on a hike to something called the Devil's Bridge.  You'll see why it's called that down below.  The kids went with us and did really well!  Once it started getting steep, Haven stayed back with Poppy and ended up taking a nap on their walk back to the car. :)  The rest of us (including sweet Garner passed out on Uncle Ben's back - troopers, both of them!) made our way to the Devil's Bridge and enjoyed some magnificent views along the way!

I love her so much.  Cheese!

Coming towards me for a hug...so happy to be outside!

Now that's how you hike!

Pistols Firing!!!  Out of nowhere she started doing it.  Again, love her.

Getting tired!

Grandma's a champ.

As you may notice, I never really lead the way. Ha!

So pretty!  Not there yet though!

A quick break and he decides to rock climb...

And finally the Devil's Bridge!  I was uneasy about it, but it wasn't so bad!

We made it out alive! :)

Spring Break: Sedona, AZ Part 2

The next day was golf!  I wasn't going to play, but swung the club a few times at the driving range before we started and impressed myself!  Ha!  Maybe I'll play next time. :)  But the weather was gorgeous, the scenery fantastic, and I enjoyed the time with my hubby and the fam!

Spring Break: Sedona, AZ

We are blessed.  SO blessed.  My in-laws took us to Sedona, AZ for Spring Break this year along with all their kids and their families!  It was so fun to spend a few days with everyone in the gorgeous AZ weather and scenery!  Absolutely one of the most gorgeous places I've ever been.  Huge thanks to them for making it possible!!  I took TONS of pictures so we'll break it up... for now, traveling and park time!

She saw the tutu in the suitcase and had to wear it right then! :)

Grayson, the best helper and hugger at the end of the slide!

Love this one.

Static girls!

Static girls!

Uncle Ben and Aunt Valerie!

Hilarious.

View from our room!  So gorgeous!

More to come...

We do this a lot...

Haven loves the self-portrait function on my phone.  And I do to.  I don't often get in the picture with her any other time, so it's nice to be able to take some of the two of us together!  These were at pom practice while the girls were down with the trainer.  I know we do this a lot, but they're too cute not to share!  Check us out!  The last one is killer...

Dress-up girl!

Haven LOVES to play dress up.  Whether she sees something frilly hanging in her closet or is just playing and randomly thinks of a tutu, she is always wanting to dress up!  The other day she came out of her room with 3 tutus on that she had put on all by herself!  The fourth had a shirt attached so I helped with that one and she was all set!

  She was just a big poof of material that day.  She loves to come up to me and ask "Mommy, tutu?" and sign please.  She's also started saying please too!  Of course I can't ever deny her so we play dress-up pretty often around here.  Last week at LifeGroup one of the other little girls came out of her room in a princess dress.  Haven was mesmerized.  So they brought out a bunch of dress-up clothes and the cutest thing happened.  She looked across the room at me with a big huge smile, almost asking for approval before she put on the clothes.  I shook my head yes with a big smile and she clapped her hands and started putting the clothes on.  Precious.  Here's what she looked like...

She loved that headband!  Which is pretty impressive since I can't seem to keep a bow in her hair these days!  I love our LifeGroup.  The kids are growing so fast and it so fun to see them all play together now!

It's always fun to dress-up for Tippi Toes Mommy & Me dance class!  She was a little more intrigued with looking at herself in the mirror this night, than actually dancing... but it was still precious!

In not too long Haven will be able to fit in old recital costumes I have laying around.  I have to admit, owning a dance company is probably the best way to have the best dress-up clothes!  So I'm sure there'll be another post just like this in the future!  I should also say that when she's not in dress-up clothes, she'd rather just run around in a diaper.  So there are some extremes at our house.  She even tries to play dress-up in the bath, putting these cups on her feet and saying "good shoes."  Ha!  I love this sweet girl so much, clothes or not.
