An Arizona Getaway

This past week, Edie (and Jordan) were treated to a 5 day 5 night getaway in sunny Arizona. It was filled with spiritual renewal, family connections, yummy food, great entertainment, and of course the Arizona sun! (you can not come to this state without soaking up some rays!)

Edie was delighted and honored to go and participate with some of her family in the Mesa, Arizona temple, and to share this moment with them, as her sister Julie entered this holy place for the first time (the main reason for her trip). Inside the house of the Lord, peace was felt, wisdom gained and love abounded.

Edie had a great time showing off our little one, Jordan Trey. He was the star of the show, and everyone had to get their chance with him

When on break from your usual food regimen, delightful snacks and desserts are a must, especially if made by and with family!

Talk to the hand because the mouth is about ready to partake

This gourmet like dessert was wonderfully planned and prepared by dad himself.
Even the presentation was great,

The grandparent household has a variety of things to keep oneself entertained, one of which was almost a daily dose of piano jammin by Jonny. It was neat to hear his renditions of familiar songs and those he just spontaneously created.

The sunny weather is a staple to Arizona so Edie and little guy could not help but get some sun in while they were there.

Here is a closer look at Jordan's, aren't they cute?

Time for Edie Says:
Thank you family for this trip and your wonderful hospitality. Jordan and I had a awesome time visiting and sharing great times with you! We love you all!

After 5 days of fun in the sun, the trip came to an end. After a couple flights with Jordan being upset, the welcoming home committee made for a great end! Thanks to Dean for being "super dad" while Edie had her much needed "Time Out"!
