Lazy Hazy Crazy Days in AZ

I took a trip down to Phoenix in the middle of the month. Momma Larie kept the boys for a week, so it was just my mom and I, and Maya. What a great trip! My mom is moving back to AZ from West Jordan, so we spent some time looking at houses with her sister, Tish, who is a Realtor. That was sure an eye-opener! There are so many homes in foreclosure down there that it is pretty easy to find a nice one in any price range. It made me want to move down sooo bad, until I got back home to all of my friends and Jade's awesome family and the weather and the views and the.... I could go on and on about how much I love St. George.


I also spent a day with my AWESOME cousin, Jeff. We had SO much fun! Jeff and I had planned on going to breakfast somewhere, but didn't think to ask for directions to the nearest JB's/Village Inn/Denny's. Instead, we drove all over the area until we found somewhere to eat. It was an awesome little mom-and-pop diner that served breakfast all day (it was now 11:00 in the morning) and had the best pancakes. Jeff flirted with the waitress who had a cute Southern accent.


Then we went bowling, which I haven't done in years and which Jeff had done just the weekend before. Of course he creamed me! You can clearly tell by the photos which of us has better "form"... Maya even got in on the action and helped me get a strike!

Aunt Tish and Gram had fun playing with Maya...She's the first granddaughter in ten years! Except the adorable Taylor Thomas, but we didn't get to enjoy her as a baby.

Mom and I spent some time visiting Gram (and enjoying her food!). We made one last stop there on our way out of town. Paul picked some oranges off of Gram's tree for us to bring back. MMM!
