Labor Day Weekend

7:50 PM

Tanner and I splurged and flew down to Arizona to spend time with his family.  Now that we have Chloe, it is especially hard to be away from family. We hate the fact that they can't see her grow up. The last time we were down South was April. Needless to say, we had an amazing time catching up and meeting the newest family member. Katelyn (Steph's) was born in May, so this was our first time meeting her. She is a doll and her hair looks like Tinkerbell's. I am amazed with how much hair she has! Little Emma (Shanna's) also has long brown hair... it just seems like Chloe missed that gene.



Chloe and Emma got to know each other a little better. Sometimes they could catch each other's faces and start smiling/giggling. Sometimes they would even attack the other's face.






The boy cousins enjoyed watching a 3D movie on the Cluff's new 3D TV.  This was when it was the most quiet ;)

Saturday, Ryan threw a surprise birthday party for Steph (big 30!) at his parent's house. They have a pool so we went swimming and enjoyed a BBQ out in the hot sun. Ryan put together a cute slide show for Steph of pictures of her life and reasons why we love her. The hardest part was the surprise... all the girls went out to get mani/pedi's and were supposed to find a reason to go to his parents house afterwards (for the surprise). It ended up being kinda awkward and she knew something was up but I think she was genuinely surprised.

Chloe LOVES the water





The weekend went by WAY too fast... it always does. At least we know we'll be back in a couple of months for Thanksgiving. Everyday was busy BUSY this time. Here's a montage:
Flight to Phx: delayed because of a tire change. Chloe slept for an hour in her car seat on the plane.
Flight to SLC: delayed because of thunderstorms. Chloe slept entire flight... can't complain.
Eating at Oregano's and stuffing our faces with pizza, Golfing twice (boys), Four card, winning diminishing, loosing diminishing, Telestrations, Tanner winning hearts and me hating it, movies, BBQ, swimming, mani/pedi (girls), Chris became and Elder, getting to know Leslie (Chris's girlfriend), delicious Sunday meal of shishkabobs (?spelling) and twice baked potatoes, Bahama bucks, Taco Bell with the Cluff extended family, finding scorpions around the house, Firehouse Subs, Tia Rosa's and chit chat and more chit chat. :) gotta love visits to AZ.
