We made a trip to Flagstaff to visit Jacob, Sunny & Soldier in their new home. Oh my word, after the heat of Mesa it was like "a piece of Heaven" arriving in Flagstaff. We were up in the mountains among the pine trees, with the windows open in the fresh mountain air. It was great--they were
great--the whole trip was great!!!!!Friday night we went to dinner at Old Town Flagstaff and then watched "Red Eye" using their surround sound. That show seemed even freakier to surround sound. We ate pizookies w/icecream and buttered popcorn at 2:00 AM. It was crazy for me--the can't eat anything past 8:00 PM girl but I lived wild and ate it with the best of them.
Saturday, we drove to Sedona and went on "Slide Rock" and then to Gold Canyon for a picnic. It is so beautiful and was so much fun. We took Soldier too, who trudged through the water and climbed the rocks trying to be "king of the hill". (Jacob & Sunny have really worked with Soldier and taught him some awesome tricks). That night we watched a movie until 3:00 AM. It was great. Staying up late, sleeping late, hanging with my kids. . . what could be better.
Sunday we went to Church and then came home and Sunny, Jacob and Nicole made a "breakfast extravaganza" with eggs, biscuits and gravy, hashbrowns, juice, & bacon. Here is little Sunny making the homemade biscuits, & Nicole frying up the bacon. (Did I mention I was in Heaven)
Oh, and Jacob is writing a new song and played the first verse of it for us. It is so great. I cried it was so cool. Wait until you all hear it.
We had to leave Sunday night. I hated to leave we had such a great time but Jacob put it best when he said, "well mom, now you see how easy it is to come up, you can do it more often". I plan to do that.

Cute pics mom. It was fun to have you guys up here. Just wait until it snows. You guys can come up and we will intertube and make snowmen, eat snowcones, make snow angels, and all together have a very cold experience. It will be GREAT!
That sounds like SO much fun! I've never actually stopped in Flagstaff, just driven through on the way to Arizona. It looks like a beautiful place, actually a place I wouldn't mind living at. It sounds like you guys had a great time. Now I'm craving buttered popcorn (my total favorite) and biscuits, my other favorite. Notice a pattern? Butter! I can't eat past eight either or i get heart burn big time that even my Prilosec can't control, but I do it anyone sometimes.
what fun, what fun! You make me jelous!!!
What's up with your blog MOM? I keep checking it...but nothing!
