Onward to Arizona

We drove onward to Arizona after California. After a week and a half in California and now a few days in Arizona, the atmosphere...was...a a little...well I think Lauren can demonstrate accurately how we were all feeling.
Yes, that one is pretty good, but this next one is even better.
Ah yes, after driving to California, than Arizona with a newborn and a crabby three year old, I too wanted to rip my face off. But never fear, we had fun anyway.
Lauren played with, you guessed it, TINKERBELL!

So Matt and I met in Arizona while going to school. Matt is from Arizona so much of his family is there. But mainly, my brother is now there and despite how exhausted my parents and Lauren and I were, I wanted to see their new house and of course them. :)

So unfortunately my mom forgot the camera every time we went to their house.

But we did meet at the hotel pool to go swimming!
Lauren and Tian are waiting patiently by the poolside for an adult to catch them...
Lyric rocked the water wings! Don't tell Ally we saw her! She would be jealous!
Here is my brother, Christian with his son, Tian.
And this is Denise, swimming with Topher.
Swimming with Lauren. This is my first time swimming after having Eden.
Speaking of Eden, here she is hanging out by the side of the pool with my mom. She was great until the 109 degree temperatures got to her.
So I took her swimming for the first time. She...tolerated it. Once she got used to the cold water.And this is some strange lady sunbathing. And oh yes, we are in the water swimming next to her.
And lastly Karyn and Brock are throwing the little kids in the hot tub! Now this part we can't tell Elijah cause he would be WAAAAY upset. Lauren got to go in the hot tub for a few minutes. She loved it of course.

So Karyn is Matt's sister that used to live with us. What were they doing in Arizona. They moved down there.

While were were there Matt's parents and sister took advantage of us coming down to see Eden for the first time.Karyn and Brock holding her. They were here for the entire pregnancy but missed her birth.
Matt's dad holding her.
Matt's mom holding Eden.

And Eden loved every second of it. :)
