Second Stop - Palm Springs

A few pictures of the Palm trees... I had to, we were in Palm Springs and they are just so cool!

Too cute for words

Family Photo at the wonderful Hotel we stayed at in Palm Springs

Thanks to Annie...aka: Miss Direct! :)

We love you Annie...and not just because you saved us many a times during our trip...you're awesome!

My wonderful sister-in-law, oh,

and me too!

So sweet

"Look into my eyes"

I love how sweet Brent and Ali are towards each other.

One of my favorite moments with them is when they get up from a nap or wake up in the morning...both of them immediately run towards each other with the biggest smile on their face yelling:

Alice: Goooood morning brudder (while embracing him mid sentence)

Brent: Hiiii Ali, good morning!

It kills me everytime!

Sunshine + adorable nieces = photo shoot

Third & Final Stop - Scottsdale, Arizona

On our way to Scottsdale, AZ we ran into my Aunt Melinda, cousin Laurie and her daughter, Danielle at a rest stop...unfortunately we didn't take any pictures, I think most of us were happy not to after driving all day long anyway. ;)

The picture above was an emergency pit stop for Brent, in the middle of no where.

While waiting for Brent, Annie and I decided to take the opportunity to soak up some very welcomed sun, little did we know Brent was quick with his business and, making full use of his time, decided to surprise us.

WE MADE IT!! All unloaded and ready to settle in and get some dinner..some of us more than others, poor Ali was exhausted.

Brent, enjoying his chicken fingers. The waitress fell head over heels for him as he wanted to help her do everything; even stack, organize and carry the dishes to the back to be washed, he takes after his mother in that area, such a willing helper. The waitress later told us that she even called her boyfriend to tell him how cute and sweet Brent was being. Too cute.

Celebrating 28 years of life together, I am now half the age of my mother...kinda weird to think about. I LOVE YOU MOM!
