What a WON-DER-FUL vacation! I could honestly leave it at that, but I know you'd rather see some pictures and hear a few of the details...We flew down Nov. 4th and pretty much had non-stop fun. On the 5th we were able to be there for Cam & Sheri's sealing in the Mesa Temple (separate post to come). The first few days it stayed over +90 F so we loved being able to hangout outside and soak up the SUN. My parent's place has a great backyard with a beautiful pool, and we had a blast enjoying it. You should have seen Nick and Cam - they were like 8 year old boys running around, doing tricks off the slide, and playing all sorts of games in the water. Hilarious.
Nice action shot, huh!
I loved getting Nixon all decked out in his hat,flip flops and sweet shades. Too cute!
We also decided to give Nix his first taste of rice cereal...
If I had to guess, I'd say he loved it...ha ha! Yeah right.
My awesome Dad bought us tickets to go see the Phoenix Coyotes play the Pittsburg Penguins and the game was SO much fun! Nick and I were definitely cheering for the Penguins (umm hello... Sidney Crosby???) plus our buddy Melvin (who was also at the game) is best friends with the Penguins new rookie, Mark Letestu, so it was fun watching someone we'd actually met before. And the best part was that the Penguins came from behind to tie the game, go into overtime, and then onto a shoot-out where Mark scored the game-winning goal! We were cheering so loudly that it scared Nixon half to death and he started bawling....oops. After the game, Nick & Melvin got special passes to go down to the team area and visit Mark and see a few other players. Nick LOVED it (to say the least...).
The seats were super steep, but it was a GREAT view!

Just chillin after the game waiting for Nick.Nixon was O-U-T
One day we drove out past Apache Junction to see some cactus's (cacti?) and check out a quaint little 'ghost town'. The buildings were so rustic and they had a bunch of great little shops where I bought myself some authentic souveniers.
Nick, Nixon & Ips. baby carriers are the BOMB.
The last 6 or 7 days of our vacation, the weather cooled down to more average temperatures for this time of the year (+70s) so we just relaxed outside, read, watched movies, did some shopping and ate at a bunch of yummy places.
Our last three nights were spent at Cam & Sheri Watkin's house so we had a blast hanging out with them. It was nice to just hangout with no agenda. Getting to sleep in, eat MORE great food (In N Out, Cafe Rio, Cold Stone, Texas Roadhouse etc....) and just spend quality time together was all a girl could hope for. Oh - and a bit more shopping ;) Thanks for showing us such a good time!
My Mom gave me this outfit, it was one my older brother,Shane, wore when he was a baby (circa 1978). SO cute!

LOL I think those are definately our relatives...seriously they look just like Tyler's side of the family...Looks like fun! I want to hear all about it in person. Of course Nixon was a great traveller that kid is pretty much great at everything!
Your vacation looked like so much fun. I love your swimsuit. Tell me where you got it. That ghost town was so cool and Nixon, as always, is such a cutie.
Looks like an awesome trip Carrie, glad you guys had a fun time! Nixon is growing up so fast, what a little cutie-pie! :)
Fun Trip....Your swimsuit is so cute! And I love the pic of Nick going down the slide....hilarious!
I love all of your pics of your trip. It looks like you had an awesome time. I can't believe how old Nixon looks in the picture at the bottom in his little red outfit! I can't wait to see you guys next weekend!
looks like fun! and i'm with kay, your swimsuit is so cute. and you are so tanned! hate you..or more like jealous. nixon is adore!
Dude, it was only 85/80 F the whole time you were here. It must have felt super hot to you but it was never 90 while you were here. If you thought that was hot come during the summer when its 118! If you come in September of next year it's going to be anywhere from 90 to 100.
We appreciate you guys coming to our sealing. It meant a lot to us to have you both there. It was a special day and we are so thankful we could share it with you. We can't wait to see you again!
Glad you had a great trip. Hopefully it was refreshing!!! Looks like so much fun.
Cute pictures! Looks like you guys had a great trip! Wish I would've known you guys would be in the area, we would have loved to see you! I have never met handsome little Nixon!
