Shayla, Mitchell and I spent the last week in Arizona visiting my sister and her family and friends. I wanted to squeeze in an airplane trip before I had to buy an extra ticket for Mitchell so off we went! It was a great week and Megan's kids and my kids adore each other so much. The weather was nice and warm and since Megan's kids were in school we got a lot of sister bonding time in too! Mitchell loved following the boys around yelling "Asher, Jonah, Ethan" and loved being spoiled by Elizabeth. Shayla loved playing superheroes and cars with the boys and spending time in Elizabeth's room (not sure what they were doing half the time). Every night Shayla would wait until the boys fell asleep so she could sneak into their rooms and give them kisses (since they would not let her kiss them when they were awake). I did not bring my nice camera as Megan had the same one so I relied on her for photos so these are some duplicates from her blog.

Sisters!
We had a Valentines Party, complete with games - (here Shayla and Jonah are playing picking up as many candy as you can in 30 sec with chopsticks - Shayla beat all her cousins!), pink fuzzy drinks, heart shaped pizza and chocolate coated marshmallows. Fun!

Megan watched my kiddos one day so I could drive to Tuscon and visit my old college roomie and meet her new kiddo - Eli (6 weeks old) - such a doll! We had a great day and a beautiful hike in Pima canyon.
Back with the Abbotts, we went miniature golfing, it was both of our kids first time!

It was such a fun trip and we look forward to going back soon!
