Arizona Homecoming

For anyone paying attention, today is Easter, but since I have not had a moment to blog about our trip to Arizona since we returned home, the Easter blog will just have to wait.

Almost two weeks ago now, we boarded a plane late Monday night and headed to Arizona. Jeremy had Spring Break and it worked out perfectly as his brother, Bryce, came home from his mission that same week. We arrived in Arizona at midnight and Jeremy's other brother, Jensen, arrived from New York about 45 minutes before us. Then the next morning we went back to the airport to welcome home Bryce. The rest of the week was filled with activities with family and friends. Here are some of the highlights of our trip.

Welcoming home Elder Clifford.




We spent two days shopping for clothes for family pictures. Since Merrick was not very interested in all the shopping, Grandpa was so good at finding things to keep him occupied.


We got to see many family and friends and spending some really special time with my grandparents.

Merrick and Kai are such good friends and have such a great time together. They played at Amazing Jake's, Makuto's Island and boy were they tired when they got done.







Merrick, Jeremy, grandpa and grampy Bunker went to a Diamondbacks spring training game. Merrick had fun and lasted 6 innings, which is 3 more innings than the last time he went to a baseball game.

It was such a busy, fun, emotional, crazy week. By the end we were all completely exhausted (and not just because we had to leave to catch our return flight at 4:30am). It took us several days to recover, but we are finely settling back in to real life and our normal routine.
