Our Family

We all went to Arizona to celebrate Martin's 70th birthday. Jeff and Alexys went a couple days earlier than the rest of us since she was out of school. Jeff's brother Jason and his family drove in from Oklahoma. Martin's daughter Mandy and her family flew in from Pennsylvania. Jeremy and Terry also drove in from California. Martin's brother and his wife also flew in but they stayed at a local hotel. There were 20 of us living at Jenny's over the week. It was crazy at times, but so fun. It was so nice to get to see everyone. We hadn't seen Jason and his family in over a year. Jenny rented a jolly jump one day for the kids. They had a great time with that, a little sad to see it go. We also went to the park. They have an awesome park there. I love going. She had a bday party for him at Peter Piper Pizza. It's kind of like a chucky cheese. Not secured though. I was just as paranoid as I am at Chucky Cheese. I've decided I could never work there. I think I would have a heart attack the first day trying to keep track of everyones kids!


I took over 800 pictures. I went through them and tried to get some of the best ones on here over all the next posts. I broke them down by families.




Jenny did all the grandkids handprints on a canvas. CJ thought he could get Grandpa with the paint. Lets just say a 70 year old man is much stronger than and 18 year old.

Wii bowling! Game on! We had tournaments all day!









Mandy, me and Jenny








This slide had so much static. Everytime someone went down they got zapped by a shock.











High 5! Alexys got the first Yahtzee!












They loved going up and down the escalator!





Jeff and I





They have a shopping center near the Cardinals stadium with water fountains that pop up out of the ground. The girls had a blast playing in it.






The girls and I going down the jolly jump slide!

looks like you had fun and did alot. It's always nice seeing family at least to me. I agree w/ the Chuck E Cheese, it would be stressful to work there. Great pictures.

Your pictures are always so good. Makes me wish I was there : ). Glad I finally got to see Samantha - she is so cute! Such a petite little thing. We should get together the next time I am up there!
