Went to Maricopa, Arizona to visit Joyce and Michael. They have a beautiful home there, we had a wonderful time with them. It was in the 30’s. (the cold seem to follow us)
They took us to Sprinkles of Beverly Hills for delicious cupcakes.
So many delicious looking cupcakes, we chose lemon and red velvet.
We had to go shopping!
We went to Casa Grande National Monument to see dwelling that were built many years ago.
This is one of the dwellings, it was interesting to hear how it was built.
The cactus were beautiful
and very large.
Glenn played a round of golf at The Duke
The Mesa temple
There were beautiful orange and grapefruit trees growing on the temple grounds.
We went to the mall in Chandler, Az but everyone was outside, the mall had closed because of a shooting in the parking lot. They did catch the person but the mall was close all day. (no one was injured)
Played a couple games of scrabble.
Joyce won the first game and Michael won the second.
Hadn’t played scrabble in years, it was lots of fun.
On our way to Odessa, Texas we kept seeing signs for THE THING, so of course we had to stop and see what it was!
THE THING
We stopped in Odessa, Texas to visit my niece and her family. Yolanda, Dan, Drew and Zach Rankin
We went to English, Texas to visit Cecil and Keaton while Kristi and Heidi both had to go out of town and yes that is snow in Texas!
Keaton loved it!
Keaton and Grandpa built a snow deer.
The snow would not hold together enough to build a snowman, they creatively decide to make it a snow deer.
Keaton loved making snow angels.
They even had a game of soccer in the snow.
Went to Keaton’s preschool class
Keaton with her classmates
A trip to the mall in Texarkana
Got a new puppy
Played with Keaton and her toys
Penny kept standing up to the table and looking, we couldn’t figure out what she was doing
Until she jumped on the table and grabbed her snowman toy that Keaton had been playing with. And off she ran with the toy.
Misty, Larry, Travis, Tanner and Bayleigh came by, we went to dinner at a delicious Mexican restaurant and played Wii bowling, which Misty won.
Bayleigh and Keaton had fun playing together
Heidi came home from her training
Kristi came home from her business trip
They have 3 dogs and they all love Cecil
We even saw the butt tree
We had a wonderful time, thanks everyone!
