"A" Mountain

We went to Tucson today and while driving home on the freeway we were passing A Mountain and the girls, who are always interested in it, asked if you could drive up to it. E and I were like yes. So they asked if we could go. For as long as we have lived here I have never taken the girls up there, which is strange because when I was little we would always go up there either with my parents or my grandpa. I have decided I need to do more things like this for my kids. Spontaneous adventures... Those are things they will always remember.

They were so excited to be up there and to climb on the "A". They had some fun and were totally not ready to go home.

The beautiful city view.

Texas Roadhouse

H decided for her birthday that she wanted to go out to eat at Texas Roadhouse (my fav!) and go shopping. She invited 3 friends to come but only one could come, so she asked her sister to join us. It was fun and she even sat on the saddle and got a big "YEEHAW!" from the waiters and waitresses. We went to the mall and Target afterwards. It was a nice evening.

Bowling for New Years Eve

Wow my posts are little out of order. But on New Year's eve during the day we were trying to find something to do with the girls. There weren't a whole lot of movies out that we wanted to see so I thought of bowling. We always forget about it! Everyone had so much fun. Aubry was hilarious! We definitely need to do this again.


Then we went out to lunch at Applebee's. The girls were excited to go out to a "nice" place to eat.

H Turns 12!

I can't believe my baby (big) girl is 12. It seems like just a few years ago she was a baby. She has matured quite a bit in the last couple of months. Her birthday fell on a Wednesday so she was excited to be able to go to mutual that night. Then that Saturday was a temple trip for our ward youth. Josh and I were able to accompany the YM and YW to the Gila Valley Temple. It was so wonderful to be there with H and watch her interact with the bigger girls. I am so lucky to be able to be one of her YW leaders also. I hope the next 12 years with her will be just as good as these last 12 have been.

Cake for the Birthday Girl

For H's Birthday we had dinner and cake a few days early. Since her birthday fell during the week it is too hard with our busy schedules to have cake and a good dinner for her. M and R came down for dinner and we had cake and cupcakes for dessert. It was nice for our family to be together.

Slacking

There have been so many things I have wanted to blog about lately but I just can't seem to find the time or know where to start. I promise I will be back soon!

Jesus wants me for a Sunbeam

Aubry was so excited she is a Sunbeam now. I went and peaked in on her during sharing time and she was being such a big girl and having lots of fun. She loves Sister Kartchner her new teacher.
