Arizona Trip and our First House Guest!

Our quick little trip to Arizona was so so fun!
It was so great to get to see Kyle and Bailee and their newest addition Brody! Been waiting to meet that little guy.
Garth and I traveled there Friday night. Our flight got delayed so Camden ended up being up until 1am! He took a little snooze for the first part of the flight and then played and babbled the second.
He was like a little celebrity in the airport--so tired, but still so happy. So of course people just stood there and talked to him while he smiled and kicked his legs.
He did really well! He went right to sleep in the pack and play in the hotel and slept great all night!
Camden did so well on the trip. Took fantastic naps when he got the chance to in his little bed or just napped on the road. Even when he missed his nap and/or bed time he was still all smiles and content to just keep up with all the adults all night long! It was our first time in a hotel with him. So fun to be able to go down to the lobby and have a breakfast as a family, go for a swim, get ready and then play in the hotel room as a family, and then go play all day with everyone else in AZ!

 His first time Swimming

 Breakfast By the Pool

 This is Camden in his pack and play. He needed to wake soon, so we had opened the window, made it super bright, took his blanket, were talking like normal while we packed, and he just slept straight through. We finally had to wake him. Poor boy!



Arizona was super nice weather right now of course--not sure I could handle their summers though. The Mausers came along for our vacation and added so much fun!
We were able to spend a lot of time with Bailee's family as well, which is always great. 



We went Go-carting the first day.
Everyone was shocked that I had the fastest lap time and took first place. My dad was in denial.
 Little man hanging out while we ride go carts!

Then we went to Organ Pizza for dinner. It's pizza but a guy plays the organ which controls several instruments all on the walls and ceiling and he plays popular songs and movie soundtracks while you eat. It was really cool and the babies enjoyed watching. We even taught Paris to do the Thriller dance! Her version is slightly modified, but I think much cuter than the original anyways [;

That night after dinner we explored the Temple grounds and then took a walk to the Dairy Queen.














The second day we were able to have breakfast as a family, take the kids swimming (they didn't enjoy it as much the second day--the water was a little cold) and then head on over to Kyle's before church.







Brody's blessing was very heart felt and tender, and I'm so grateful he has such wonderful parents who I know will raise him right. He is so blessed to be their son! Plus he looked adorable [:



That evening we went to the park to have a BBQ as a family. We met some cool friends of Kyles and we all just enjoyed relaxing and talking.







I attempted to take some pictures of Brody but he was hungry and I had to leave [;
But I got some of his mom Soothing him!




Then it was off to the airport for Garth and I! Another late night of traveling which resulted in Camden going to bed around 1am. He actually slept on a little make shift bed on our floor in our bedroom because Garth's sister was arriving early that morning after driving from Iowa with her two kids so Camden's bedroom was on reserve.
The next day Camden got to play with his cousins Mataya and Keighlynn.
He found absolutely everything Keighlynn said hilarious and giggled at her non-stop. This resulted in her walking around saying "Camden likes me!" it was adorable.
We took Tasha Down Town to show her Denver and we shopped the 16th Street Mall.
It was another fun day out with the kids and spending time with Family.
That night we introduced her to Q-doba (one of my all time Favorites) and we just had a night in catching up.
She headed out this morning to finish her drive back home to Utah, but we are so grateful to have had the opportunity to see them and glad she was willing to come visit us!!










It's been a crazy busy weekend but so fun to be with family and to just enjoy being out and about!
