Life in Arizona

We have almost lived in Arizona for a whole month now, and can I just say how much we LOVE it here. The past month has been so much fun. Mesa is such a family friendly place. There are so many activities, and events going on all the time. From splash pads, to Kids Club, waterparks, aquariums, playgrounds, swimming pools, parades, and museums. We love our new home, our ward, and our neighborhood. We also love that we're close to both of our families (in Vegas and Utah). Life is just great, grand, and wonderful.

Carter loves cooling off with the other kids in the splash pads.

Shaved ice and ice cream cones are a must have in the summer. We'd heard from a lot of people about a place called Bahama Bucks and WOW it blew our minds. It was better then the shaved ice we'd had in Hawaii. Now every shaved ice place is going to be "ehh" compared to this place.

Carter has become a little Pablo Picasso.

We love going to Kids Club at the mall each week. (Carter's in the yellow shirt in the front.)

Carter is OBSESSED with the Lion King.


And we of course go swimming in our community pool almost every day.
