Survival of the Fittest!

We went to Arizona over the weekend for Aunt-T's wedding open house! It was a quick trip, drive down Friday, stay over Saturday and drive home Sunday. It was difficult, but not nearly as hard as we thought it would be. The girls were actually pretty awesome through the whole thing. We did have one carsick-incident, in which our rental car got covered in vomit, but after re-grouping in Page, AZ, we were back on our way!

Sloanie has become an avid thumb-sucker. I have a love-hate relationship with this habit of hers. It was especially nice on our trip because she could suck her thumb when she would get upset during the car ride. However, her thumb is getting really red and even has a blister... Not sure what to do about it. :)

Anyone a fan of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives???? WE ARE!!!! We had to visit one of Guy's picks and so with a handy "Guy Ate Here" app on our phones, we were able to find somewhere Guy Fieri had visited! We chose Joe's Farm Grill! It was amazing!

I got the Grilled Vegetable Pizza, which was one of the best things on the planet!

Matt got an Ahi Tuna Burger with Garlic French Fries! Oh my mouth is watering just thinking about it!

This picture captures one of the miracles that occurred during our trip! The girls slept through our little Joe Farm Grill visit! Pretty sure it's the first time something like this has happened in the history of double-strollers!

We did visit the Mesa Temple while we were there! It's very pretty and seems to have a lot of history. We went to the Distribution Center nearby and bought Holynd her first CTR ring. It lasted about five minutes and hasn't been seen or heard from since. :)

There were Orange Trees all over the temple grounds! That would be so cool to be able to pick yourself an orange after attending a session.

Holynd kept putting blankets over her head to block out the sun during the long car rides.

The following videos are just somethings I captured around our house. Holynd loves to help me clean and I tried all morning long to get a video of her "mopping" and singing the "Clean-Up!" song. This was all I got.

Then after I gave up trying to capture the cleaning, she ran to the window because she thought she saw Matt pull up. Whenever she sees him, she wants me to open the deck door for her, so she can run out and greet him. So this video is of her begging to see her dad. Oh, by the way, she is now calling Matt by his first name. Matt hates it, so no one is aloud to call him "Matt" in Holynd's presence. He must be called "dad" at all times! :)

Lastly, today is Matt and I's 3rd wedding anniversary... Three years of marriage, two kids and way too many blessings to count! I love you husband!
