Lights!

Look at the beautiful Mesa LDS Temple lights! Go see them! Main Street and Mesa Drive in Mesa! It's free! Freddie loves them and points and says (in a very astonished voice), "bah!!!!!! Ohh!!!!!!"






Merry Christmas.

camping in Sedona

Osborn ward camp out in Sedona! It was beautiful, cold, the ground was rocky, I didn't sleep a wink, I had to pee so badly in the middle of the night but it took me hours to make myself go because I kept thinking about the Blair Witch Project....but I love all that stuff! The next day we went on a walk to a little creek and through the woods and across a bridge. Freddie, on the other hand, slept like a log and enjoyed every minute of it....welll...he got a little freaked out about how dark it was at night, but he got over that. The breakfast the next morning was SO good. Just Pancakes, eggs, bacon, and fruit but man, it all tasted delicious. We had a great time as a family.


So excited to go camping!

 
 

He looks like a chunker in this photo. I'm totally fine with that. 

flagstaff. my 4th great love (after cs, Fred, and the kitties, of course)

We decided to get out of town on Saturday, and drove up to good ole Flagstaff, AZ with some friends. It was a lovely drive. We played Trivial Pursuit, and the GIRLS WON, yeahhhh!

Got into town and first things first: Lunch. Downtown Diner. I told you we ate like 19-year-olds. Yipes. My stomach just can't handle what it used to. It was delicious though.

We walked in and out of lots of shops and galleries downtown. I love all the cute handmade home and baby things, delicious soaps and organic body products, and all the other odds and ends (odd being the operative word). 

Silliness in shops...which one do you prefer to wipe your bum with?

Collin's excellent impression of crazy Matthew Mcconaughey:

Of course we had to go to campus. I had to reminisce. I had to show off my beloved McConnell and tell all the stories about all the good times. I've started this stuff early with Fred. But I have to, because you see, this is where it all started. This is where I became me. 

Leading the tour...here it is....(they immortalized me by making my dorm into a study lounge after me. Last person to live in 4C19.)

still there behind the light panel after 9 years!

He loves this place. Collin, too. We just might move there (I wish). Ps. Fred is going to walk any day.
