There Is No Arizona...

But there's a hot desert about a days drive south of here. Last weekend we took the family for a drive and ended up in Phoenix. Just so happens we have an accumulation of relatives down there in the heat. By the way, it's not snowing everywhere. We were all reaquainted with sunny weather. Man it's nice down there. So, why do I live in Utah?



I know you don't recognize this person... neither do I. While we were down there we bumped into a t.v. commercial shooting for some mexican bean something-or-other. That was cool... cuz after that it was an all-you-can-eat MexFest.


It was good to get the kids excited again about being outside with the better weather. Talk about wound up... those kids just couldn't settle down. It's a good thing our camera has that fast mode to stop the action otherwise all the pictures would be blurry.


We got to visit Herman and Jamie and daughter Alyssa. And "Wow", does

Jamie look good. Check out this photo... you can't even tell which is the daughter and which is the mom. Tell me Alyssa doesn't have her mom's

eyes and nose. And hair, cheek bones, smile... and knees and toes.

Can you believe she's had two kids? Oh yeah.
