Jonny and I headed down to Arizona last month for my niece Josie's wedding. Todd had to work unfortunately so he was unable to join us. Since it was just Jonathan and I, the plane rides there and back were... interesting. Actually to be honest, Jonny did really good. He is just EXTREMELY curious and had a little bit of a hard time sitting still.
We arrived a few days ahead of the wedding to make the most out of our vacation. We were able to soak up a little sun, I did a temple session in the new Gilbert Temple, we went out to eat with my cousins, did some shopping, it was all good fun.
This baby loved every minute of warm weather and sunshine! Every morning, he would wake up and head straight for the doors to the backyard just begging to go outside. He could not get enough of it. He loved to be pushed around on the little trike, he loved to run around on the grass, he loved to sit in the rocks by the playground and pick up handfuls at a time just to feel them.
He went through withdrawals when we got back to Utah because it was so cold outside. For a week straight he would wake up and pound on our front door and just cry because he wanted to be outside. Anytime the door opened he would run to it to get out. It was really sad.
This was the morning of the wedding, thanks Murph for doing Josie's make-up. She looked lovely.
The happy couple and some sisterly love
The lovely new Temple
Monday we went to go visit my Grandma Prince and hang out with Maren and Evie some more.
We took the kids to a little splash pad area near Maren's house. Jonathan loved it. He would run from one fountain to the next just laughing. He even biffed it pretty hard once and was more sad when I took him out of the water to wipe the blood off his nose than he was about the actual fall.
so sweet.
Thank you Arizona for being so warm and inviting during cold Utah weather. We had a great time as always.
