AmaZing AriZona!

Last month (sorry, I'm way behind on blogging these days!), I had the awesome privilege of spending a few days in Arizona with my dear hubby...without the kids! He travels there for work and raves about the beauty and fun of the state, particularly Phoenix. It has always been a desire of his to take me there and show me around, not to mention give me a nice refreshing break from full time mommyhood.

Between two precious people in my life -- Steph (who I nicknamed Super-Steph after keeping my kids for an entire day!) and my mother in law --my kids were in good hands while I was gone. Many thanks to both of you!!! I love you!

All in all, the trip was wonderful, and I told Tyler while walking hand in hand one afternoon that is was nice to 'remember how much fun we have just the two of us.' My favorite part of the trip (other than the unbelievably awesome food!) was the day we drove north to Flagstaff and Sedona. The views and scenery with the red rock is absolutely amazing. I felt so relaxed and aware of God's creation that day, and it was awesome to praise Him for His marvelous works! Here are a few pics from the trip!

I just thought this picture was funny :)

Here we are in Flagstaff!

Breathtaking views in Sedona


We shopped at a mall one night and they were putting up this beautiful tree--the sunset behind it was just gorgeous! Any guesses on how many ornaments are on this tree?????


And one final thing...I texted a picture of a cactus to Savannah (via Steph) and, bless her heart, she asked if mommy was IN the cactus! I'm still cracking up about that one! Don't you love kids and their questions?
