Diane and Steve got here Thursday afternoon and of course we had to hit up Paradise Bakery so Diane could get those sugar cookies she loves haha After that we spent the day showing them around Glendale. We even took them over to Midwestern so Austin could show them campus.

Austin was in heaven with the fact that Steven had rented an Escalade to drive around but for the most part Austin was the one driving it around all weekend. He loved it! I'm sure he wasn't to thrilled when they left that he had to go back to driving the Baby Bug and Old Trusty around haha but maybe someday Austin will have an Escalade of his own... hinty hint hint ;DThat night we had to take them out to On The Border. We take everyone who comes to visit there because... it's the best! They really loved it. So much so that we actually ended up going there again Saturday haha but more on that later. Ashley didn't get in until 10:00 that night so we didn't want to have to much fun without her :)
Friday Diane wanted to do some "intense" stuff which included going for a walk around the neighborhood and then laying out by the pool. I was totally ok with that. I was in desperate need of a tan anyways. I mean you can't live in Arizona and be pasty white!
After a day by the pool we got cleaned up and headed over to Scottsdale to eat at BJ's Restaurant. They have some awesome pizza and even better Pazookies. Cookies and Cream pazookie is definitely the way to go! haha
Saturday was a lot like Friday. We didn't go for a walk but instead took them out to see a local golf course and then to take pictures by some cactus. They really wanted their picture taken by some cactus haha.

We made a few more stops at the Nordstom's Rack and Circle K but then it was back out by the pool. They were absolutely loving the weather out here. Sometimes I forget what it's like to be stuck indoors with the crummy winter weather so I'm sure it is nice to get away from it all. As I mentioned before we went back to On The Border for round 2 that night. And as luck would have it we ended up getting the exact same waiter! He remembered us and everything. It was so funny.The Fam
After dinner Diane and Steve wanted to get some more pictures out by the pool now that we actually looked cute and not all sweaty and gross.I love this picture! Mom and kids :D
I felt like we were back taking engagement photos again haha
Like I said before it was an awesome break!! We were sad to see them go :( Now it's back to school and work for a few more months before it's officially summer!! Thanks Diane, Steve and Ashley for coming out to visit! And don't wait to long before you come out again haha
FUN!! We wish we could have come to play. I could really use some sun right now! I looove that pic of Austin, Ash and Mom! Adorable.
ReplyDeleteLooks like so much fun! Aw, I love seeing pictures of you and Austin-- I feel like you're all grown up, and then all my preggo hormones come in and I get super sappy :( We miss you guys! You're so cute with your short hair and your cute DownEast clothes! And of course, I'm VERY jealous of the weather. Maybe we'll take a little vacay down to Arizona ourselves! We've been DYING for a vacation, and are looking at doing a post-graduation vacation! We might just have to stop by! :)
ReplyDeleteSooo glad you had an awesome break! Now we get to hang out at your house tonight! Ha ha! I found your blog from your facebook page. It is so cute! Love it! :)
