Visit to Arizona

We recently went to Arizona to visit Brad's family. We had such a great time. Addison loved playing with her cousin Cooper, who is a year younger than she. They got along for the most part, but Addison learned very quickly that he was younger and that she could boss him around and take toys from him without him fighting back. She also loved helping with Cooper, such as making his bottle and feeding him his baby food.


Addison loved her cousin Lexi, who is turning 10 years old. She asked for her at least once a day. Lexi was so great to play with her, that she even agreed to play tea party with her.

Arizona weather in the summer is pretty brutal, especially when it gets in the 100's. While we were there we experienced 112 degrees which was pretty hot. Needless to say we spent some days in the water. Addison learned to "swim" with floaties, and was very proud of herself.

While there, we had a chance to see some friends. We went to Mandy and Kelly's house for dinner. Their daughter, Grace, and Addison played well together. When we were getting ready to eat, we didn't know where the girls were. We found them in Grace's room playing.


And last, but not least, Addison loved her Grandma Nielsen. The minute she woke up in the morning to the minute she fell asleep at night she asked for "dama". Thank you dama and dampa for a great time!

I love that picture of Grace and Addison. I only wish that we could have played more. Sorry that our schedule got so hectic that we could come and see you another day. It sounds like you guys had a fun filled trip though and I am so grateful that we were able to see you even for a little bit. Can't wait for Addison to come and play with Grace again. It's nice that they each can hold their own with each other. Miss you!
