Spring Break

We stopped in Vegas on the way to Arizona
 In front of our hotel New York New York
 Matt and the kids
Ready to explore all four levels of the M&M Factory
 Getting to pick their colors
So excited to have their own colorful bags of the M&M's they wanted

So they wanted to see how many colors of M&M guys we could find...so here's green
It was so fun to be there with the kids!
We found a red M&M guy
Orange
Yellow
Blue
I tried to get the girls to kiss the M&M guy with the kiss mark, but they were too repulsed by the thought!
The cool M&M car
The coke factory! It was so fun to see all of the coke products...especially where we are such Coke fans!!
In New York New York they had a Statue of Liberty made out of candy...so cool!
Pulling into Arizona, we stopped at our favorite outlet malls and it felt like home!
At the resort waiting for Matt to check us in!
I love the first day of trips, you can just feel the excitiment
Connor and Sophie in front of the beautiful falls
Such beautiful grounds, it was our first day of swimming and Matt was at a job interview, so we partied anyway!
Such a gorgeous pool!

Matt was able to play with us finally, after his job interviews were all done!
The traditional Icee's

Sadie coming out of the water slide
We went swimming a couple of times a day - the kids couldn't get enough
They felt so cool in their sunglasses
After swimming it was shopping and eating!

Con and Soph at the hot tub
And all three of them
Me and my FAVORITE virgin bloody mary!
By the fountains

They were excited all week to go get another build-a-bear
Connor got a dog named Mudge, Sophie got a bear named Izzy and Sadie got a bear named Snowball
They were in heaven
On our last day
I love this boy
My favorite princess

So our trip to Arizona was part work and part play.  We had so much fun, but Matt also had 4 job interviews to figure out where we were going to live and work when we move in July.  He finally decided on a clinic in San Tan Valley close to Gilbert, AZ.  We are going back in May to find a place to live. We love spending time together and the kids swam at least 4-5 hours a day.  We were able to shop at our favorite places and eat at our favorite places too! Vegas was good for a night, we went to the M&M factory and the Coke factory and that was plenty for us!  It was spring break there so the family thing didn't really fit! But, the kids loved the lights and we were so excited for AZ the next day that it turned out to be fun!  I love my family and I am so proud of Matt.  We have worked so hard to get to this point!
