Air Show

At Luke Air Force Base there was an air show for all the community to see and hear. Since we live like five minutes from the base we decided to go see these spectacular jets flying everywhere. As you can see it had several other events set up for the kids to see and do. The day was long and hot, but we had such fun seeing the different aircrafts around the base.

Such beautiful Clydesdale horses trottin around for all to see. I love to hear their hooves while they walk. They are amazing....

Utah adventures

For spring break we decided to take a trip to Utah to see the SLC temple. The kids and I have never seen it, so we decided this was a good time as any to finally see this beautiful place. As we arrived on temple square we were amazed at how many people were already there. We toured the Joseph Smith memorial bldg and rode the elevators to the very top to see the view of Salt Lake City itself. I couldn't believe the several mountains peaks around this area that were covered in snow still. We also were able to tour the actual conference center so my kids could see where they broadcast it on tv. They were excited to see the place where our prophet Monson will be speaking to us next month. The tour of this bldg is rather long but we learned alot of history about it. We also saw inside the tabernacle bldg too, and was surprised how the acoustics are inside. We had a great time, but our feet were sure tired by the time we left around 9 pm that night. I can't wait until we can go back, because there is so much more to see and do there that I didn't realize until darkness was upon us.

Visiting Family

Oh we had so much fun going to visit our Aunt Nomi who was down from Pennsylvania to see us. While we were there we were delighted to be able to see our other aunts (Sally&Sandra) too. My grandma Louise was happy to see us and to show us her new place that she is living in now. Many things have changed since we have seen these relatives, but we had a good time chatting and catching up on our different lives. It was a quick trip, so we are quite exhausted now. It was just such a great opportunity to get out of the Phx area for a few days to go visit our old stomping grounds where we grew up in York Valley. I like taking my kids to see where I grew up and know that its a special place to me. We were sad to have to leave and not be able to visit more, but had a wonderful time seeing everyone. My kids were glad to see their cousins again and even camped in the backyard of my moms house.
