Family Vacation #1

We have been wanting for months to take the boys to the Mesa temple visitors center- last weekend we finally got to go. It was really hot but really beautiful! The boys liked being there. Their favorite part was the Christus statue.
Lexi met us there and walked around with us and took pictures.
This was Emmaree's favorite thing to do.
After we left the temple we went to the motel so the kids could swim. They had a blast and didn't want to get out!
Sunday we went with all of Beau's family to a D-backs game. Lexi got us all suite tickets right behind home plate. She got them free from the company she works for. It was a going away party for Mike before he leaves for Iraq for the 3rd time!
The kids had so much fun. It was the best way to take that many kids to a ball game.
Our view.
The d-backs got spanked but it was still fun!
We had fun, plus we got Hayden and Tanner's school clothes shopping done! Next weekend we are planning on going camping for a few days! I can't wait!
Emmaree turned 3 months old yesterday! It has gone by so fast and it kinda makes me a little sad that she is already getting so big. Wednesday I finally took her to get her ears pierced! I love them and she actually did really good. I think she hated me holding her head worse than the piercing itself!
She has really turned into quite the thumb sucker lately! Its pretty cute. Today she fell asleep after she found her thumb. She is such a good baby!
I just love the expressions she makes!

Looks like a fun trip. I can't wait to take my boys to a dbacks game. We used to go all the time til we had kids. I thinK Jaden has only been to 2, and Bossy never has been. The second to the last pic of Emmaree is soo cute!

Looks like a fun trip! The temple is a great place to take kids. My 3-year old loves the water, but what kid doesn't!

This is a great post! I can't believe Mike has to leave -that's rough.

Emaree is so beautiful, and her ears look so cute!!
