ELLIS FAMILY

Thursday, April 10, 2008

This has taken me way TOO long to post all of our vacation pictures. Here is the last of them. We were only in Phoenix for a couple of days, but we had a great time, and the weather was so nice. It was between 85-90 the whole time we were there. My whole family went down for Easter and it was so good to see everyone again, since we weren't able to see anyone for Christmas. We took pictures with the whole family, went shopping while Grandpa watched the kids, had our big Easter dinner on Saturday, played lots of games, and basked in the sun a lot. My grandparents have a pool at their house that isn't heated. Brock took Kayden and Addy in for a quick swim (the water was 60 degrees..brrrr.) Addy loved the water and didn't want to get out. My grandparents also have two big orange trees in their backyard and the kids enjoyed plopping the oranges in the pool, and watching the adults scoop them out. On saturday my Uncle Allen invited us to go out 4-wheelin in the desert. This was by far our favorite thing we did. Kayden stayed in the trailer and my uncle watched him while Brock and I went out riding. I was a little nervous because of the baby and took it slow, but it was still a lot of fun. Kayden had a blast being outside, and even took a couple short rides. We had a great Easter too. My mom wanted to do an Easter egg hunt for the kids so we dumped the eggs all over the living room and let them play in them. They were more excited when they figured out that the eggs were acutally filled with candy. My sister sang in church while her husband played the piano, and Kayden went to nursery for the first time (just a couple weeks early.) We were sad we had to come back to snowy wyoming, and I am trying to convince Brock that he needs a job somewhere where it is warm most of the year. We had a great trip. It was so good to see so much of my family!!
