Arizona

I am appalled with myself that it has taken this long for me to blog about this trip!  That being said...

At the end of January we took a nice little trip down to Arizona to visit my sister & her husband.  We had originally planned on going down there because Josh's brother & family were going to go down there for a week to golf & enjoy the mild weather.  They didn't end up going because Josh's brother had hurt his shoulder & didn't want to be tempted to golf.  So they went to Vegas...but they have golf there so I'm not really sure why they thought that would be a less tempting place.  By the time they had decided this, we had already made our plans & went by ourselves.  It was a lot of fun & very relaxing.  My sister took time off work while we were there & we were just able to hang out & spend time together.  No big outtings but it was so much fun!

One of the days we were down there we went to a local zoo.  Here is Steven holding hands with his Uncle Irwin (my brother-in-law), who he totally adores

My beautiful sister, Sammy, with Steven (whom he also adores :) )

Me pushing Sofia in the stroller.  Not too shabby, if I do say so myself ;)

Yes, you are seeing some mild spousal abuse.  I was annoyed that he wasn't making a good face...but at least it worked! ;)

Steven throwing a temper tantrum. He was very careful about lying down...pretty funny to watch :)

Steven was quite insistent on pushing Sofia during a walk to a park in Sam's neighborhood

I don't know if you can tell but this is Steven looking down through the holes of the jungle gym at me

Steven :) He's reaching up to try to get Sofia's hand

Steven playing his version of pool, or as he liked to call it, "balls".  He just liked pushing the balls across the table & try to hit the other ones

Sofia :)

Sofia & Irwin playing with some dominoes

Steven's other favorite game while we were there.  He just liked to play with the cards & take them in & out of the container

Steven playing a game on Sammy's phone while we were at dinner.  He looks like a pro, don't you think? :)
