Finally... our vacation - Part 1 or Part 2... whatever...

So, the way I am posting this doesn't really make sense. The pictures below are the last part of our vacation - not the first - and all of the fun surprises and descriptions will have to be understood in the next post -the one that I'll hopefully be doing tomorrow... or maybe just before Christmas -
The real point is - FYI - we were in AZ - it was so grand - Enjoy the photos.
First day in AZ - after bathing, which felt so super -
We went to Sizzler, one of Sister #2's favorite restaurants, to celebrate her birth.
Eating with the Fam - 14 grand kids in a public is always an experience. Little C embracing one of his favorite cousins -

Ohhh Sister #3, how we love thee!
This "Practically Brother #1" makes a great babysitter.
Three Little Trouble Makers
Look who is blowing out the birthday candles.
Very helpful Little C, thank you.
We were able to go and do sealings all together for our very own family members at the temple. Such a neat experience. Thanks Sister #1 for doing all of the prep work!


At Sister #2's house -
He still manages to handle the kids in his sleep.
The man's got talent!
We totally keep them buckled outside of the car as well. So so so much easier to keep track of everyone - :)
At the Dinosaur Museum -
Little C took the stage - or ... the screen.




Panning for Gold -


Bukabu kindly pushing the kids around -while her offspring try to strike it rich.
Sister #2 in jail at the museum. So sad when your relatives stray off the straight and narrow. Especially ones who are 9 mos prego. :)
Gadashio wasn't interested in the gold - only drinking the water. Lovely.
Sister #1 admiring the find.



So - some of my pictures wouldn't rotate - and I just didn't care enough to try and figure out a solution - I am sorry if that bugs you. Kind of bugs me... still too lazy my friends.
Here is a sideways picture - proof that is takes 3 people to assist in giving Gadashio a hair cut.
Thanksgiving prep work. Sister #1 isn't photoed - but she worked her little can off. Mine is still bootylicious (which shows just how much I pitched in) - but hers is basically gone. Look at that spread!

Our little niece sitting on The Beloved's lap agreed to be our daughter - she renamed herself Jill and was ready to head back home with us - unfortunately she is still in AZ - I guess she really loves and would miss her family or something like that :)


Look at those cute little parents!
The 6 month old is supposed to be bigger than the five year old, correct?


It was a wonderful Thanksgiving! My sister's family hosted about 40 people - and did a spectacular job!
