June AZ trip

Richard and I got to spend last week in sunny Arizona! It was definitely sunny, and HOT! But I was happy to get out of the cloudy Washington weather and experience summer for a little bit : )

It's always great spending time with our family and friends in AZ. We had a lot packed into our week; people to see, restaurants to eat at, a bridal shower and a wedding!

Our niece Sophia is getting so big! She is so cute and is getting a little personality, it was fun hanging out with her (and her parents too : )

Here is little Avery Layne. She is my cousin Karie and Steve's little baby and was born almost a month ago, I was excited to see her! She was so sweet and fragile.

Here we are at Karie and Avery's Sip and See. I guess it's this new type of baby shower that cool people put on after the baby is born... we're a little behind the trends in the Northwest.

While we were there, Richard and I went to his childhood friend, Daniel's, wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony and it was great to see friends.

Here we are with Daniel and Christina, the new married couple.

On Sunday we were able to go to our old church, McDowell Mountain. We really miss it and it was so great to see everyone and experience the great fellowship there. Afterward, Sophia and Emma put on a great show for us.

Richard and my biggest little brother, Joey.

We had so much fun in AZ! Thank you everyone for caring about us so much : ) Next visit, Christmas!
