Ears are pierced!!!

Besides last Thursday being Paris' 1st day of preschool we also had a "girls day" (since she only goes 1/2 day and the boys were still at school). I took her to Arista Curls at the mall for a pedicure & manicure, and also we got her ears pierced at the Piercing Pagoda. OH, also what trip to the mall would be complete without a visit to the Disney Store?????

CABIN FEVER....

We had a great time last weekend at the family cabin outside of Flagstaff. My dad has the prettiest flowers in bloom all around. And of course I took photos. Not often you see lillies and tropical flowers blooming around Flagstaff alongside pine trees! The weekend was a soccer retreat for Evan, so we dropped him off in Munds Park, and stayed a few nights ourself. We also went to the Deer Farm in Williams and went into downtown Flagstaff for some lunch and shopping. Robb's parents came along too. The weather was 72 degrees and stormy, but no rain!

***Our family of 37 is SOOOOO happy to be home. We just went on a "Grandparents' 50th Anniversary" trip to Europe. 4 days in Spain (Barcelona), then another 13 days aboard the Brilliance of the Seas cruiseship touring Italy, France, Monaco, Greece & Turkey. 10 stops in 13 days!! It was SOOO fun and TONS of memories! But we are so glad to be home....wow. 23 our family members were on our Delta flight arriving back into Phx, Az and we were almost kissing the ground as we entered Sky Harbor. NOTHING LIKE THE GOOD OLD USA!!! Here is some photos of our adventure!!
