Parker, Arizona

Picnic on the beach
Treyden got pretty daring in the water this time. He and Boston had a great time.
Me, Kenlee and my little buddy LaLa (friends of my parents) on a boat ride.
This was the first night when we woke up on a flat air mattress

At the last minute I decided to join my family on their trip to Parker, Arizona for Spring Break. Unfortunately Mitch's spring break was this week and not last so he didn't get to come. The drive was long but well worth it. We sat on the beach of the Colorado River and played in the sand all day long while the others skied. It was heavenly. We slept in a tent all week long and the kids did great. The first night my air mattress deflated, not comfortable for a seven month pregnant woman. The next night my dad went and bought me a new one and an hour after I fell asleep I was on the ground again. No fat jokes please. Luckily someone had a spare and my dad came to the rescue and filled it up for me. The rest of the time I slept great!

It looks so warm there. I am jealous. I miss the sun and the warmth. I hope that the weather gets warm soon.

Brandi, in case you were wondering, but belly puts yours to shame. Could you please fatten up a bit so my mom will quit saying "Shani you're as big now as I was when I delivered each of mine." I want to go to the lake. Question: Do cankles float or sink?

Oh the sounds of a beach and water and sunshine seem so far a way for us Idahoans. I am so glad that you had so much fun. You are one brave lady to face the drive and camping all by yourself. I hope you soaked up some much needed rays for me, hahah!

Wow Brandi! Good job blogging! I guess I haven't been on yours in a while. I'm so jealous you got to go to AZ! However I'll be there in a little over a week! Yay! Kiowa is getting baptized there on the 11th and then I get to stay for a few days before we head back! Keep up the good blogging! I love to hear about my little bro's family!

How fun! Usually trips are somewhat stressful when it comes to traveling with kids, but well worth it in the end. I love your darling pictures. You look so cute!! No fat jokes here...but that is pretty sad/funny that your air mattress kept deflating!

Looks like a great trip. I am very jealous of the warm weather! I don't think anyone could make a fat joke about you. You are still tiny!
