Great Grandparents

There were so many pictures in the last Arizona post that I decided to put all the pictures of our visits with my grandparents in a separate post.

I guess I have never been to Arizona at this exact time of year, because I have NEVER seen my Grandpa and Geneva's backyard looking so gorgeous!! I just can't get over Geneva's flowers. It was amazing!! The whole backyard smelled like perfume from all of the roses! They always have veggies growing and Molly always has fun picking peppers, squash, peas and tomatoes when she visits them, but this time she got to pick gorgeous bouquets of flowers (and one crazy looking carrot)!

Picking flowers with GrandmaChecking out the peas with GrandpaMolly and Grandpa with matching cheezy smiles. I love it!!Grandpa has named this bougainvillea the "Molly flowers" because they are such a pretty shade of Molly's favorite color, purpleMolly loved helping Grandma pick this crazy looking carrot. She immediately asked me to clean and cut it up so she could eat it... She thought it was so yummy!

Arizona Pictures

Molly and I spent 10 days in Arizona visiting family and while we were there, we celebrated Easter and my cousin's wedding. I apologize in advance for the length of this post... there are LOTS of pictures to share!

Easter Morning

We woke up at Nana's house to find all kinds of goodies left for Molly and the new puppiesMolly helping Sassy and Haylie open their basket from the Easter BunnyEgg Hunt at my aunt and uncle's house
The only other kid close to Molly's age was her cousin, Hunter who is 7. He was VERY competitive and ran around like a mad-man trying to get the most eggs. About half the hidden eggs were candy-filled and the other half were boiled. Molly quickly decided that the hard-boiled eggs weren't worth the effort and let Hunter wear himself out finding them all while she only picked up the candy-filled ones.

Her basket with Princess Leia and Wicket the EwokDominic and his parentsDom anxiously awaiting his bride-to-beShannon's mom had to help Molly get down the aisle a little faster... she took her duties very seriously - she had purple and yellow petals in her basket and she took her time to very carefully drop just one of each color.Shannon and her parentsDom was so moved by his vows to Shannon that he went in for a kiss before it was time... the Judge quickly put a stop to that! During the ceremony a gorgeous monarch butterfly flew around behind Dom and Shannon as they faced the judge, Molly and I both knew it was Julia checking in and letting us know she was there! I wasn't able to get a picture of it because it was moving around so quickly - hopefully the wedding photographer caught it!
