Weekend in Sedona!!

Jens & I celebrated our third wedding

anniversary on August 13th!!

Who knew that such a short amount of

time we would have relocated to AZ

and have two darling daughters!!

We didn't get to celebrate on the actual

date because everyone one was sick.

It worked out for the best cause then

my mom came into town and stayed

with the girls so we could go

to Sedona for the weekend!

KID FREE!!

View from the pool!

It was so nice cause it was

cooler weather and so green !!

We walked around all the shops, we

found a cowboy store. I made him model

a true 10 gallon hat!

Lounging by the pool, with no kids.

We didn't know how to act!

baby lizards, everywhere

The "mother"of hands!

We went for a walk along the river.

I never get to be in the pics, so

we posed together & hoped

that we both were in it!

Chillin in the chairs, listening to all the beatles

We went to slide rock, to find out that it

was closed! It's this cool place that you can go

swimming and the water pushes you down like

a big giant water slide.

SO DISGUSTING!!!

It was still fun, we hiked all around.

We will have to go back with the kids

and let them slide down when

they are a little older!

Madison had fun with her G-ma, but

was soo excited to have her

daddy back!!!

Good Food, Good Friends, & Great Times!!

We went to Sapporo for Happy Hour!

ate sushi, kobe burgers, ham fried rice, etc...

Jens & me

Ty & Natalie

Ryan & Brittany

The girls!!

The boys!!

My brother didn't know

that you aren't supposed to

eat the outside shell of the appetizer!

What we have been up to lately!!

It's been a rough week!!

We have all been really sick

around the Lovell home.

McKinzi had pink eye. Jens had a reaction to

a medication. Madi had a cold & I got bronchitis.

We are all feeling much better.

We had a surprise visit from my family.

My brother , sister-in -law and my mom!!

It was short and sweet, but fun.

Uncle Ryan, finally got to our house!!

McKinzi smiles so good for the camera

I told Madison to put her arm

around her sister.

She made it to the ear.

Madison lounging on the couch with

her arms above her head

(just like her dad)

McKinzi feeling back to normal

eating her favorite snacks

snack time around the Lovell's

Kinzi is now crawling everywhere

she tries to keep up with Madison

She hangs out under the high chair

and hopes that Madi will drop

some of her food!!

She moves faster with her army crawl

Madison modeling her hair bow!!

for 2 seconds

I catch her talking to herself in the mirror

Madison waiting for Uncle Ryan, Britt & G-ma

to come visit. Her window is right by the front door!!

Waiting, waiting...

McKinzi and her crown.

Practicing her jazz hands!!

Jens had an allergic reaction to a medication.

He swelled up like the elephant man.

I told him he looked like the kid from "The Mask"

It was really kinda scary his lungs started to close off.

He went to the doctor & they gave him a steroid shot.

Madison not feeling up to par.

She had to drag every blanket, pillow, & animal

to be with her on the couch!

McKinzi not feeling well either.

She got pink eye, running nose.

It was no fun.

Madison thought she was so funny!!

We went to the Bear Factory

with some friends. The girls had a great time.

Madison walked around with all the bears that

were twice the size of her.

Best Friends!!

I could her Madison talking, talking...

I came into the kitchen and found

her chatting away on my

cell phone that was on the charger

Time Flies....

Boy does time fly!!!

I was going through all of our pictures

and came across some that

I thought would show

how much our family has changed

in the last year and half.

It's so amazing how much the girls look

alike. I have to look at the date of the picture

to make sure I'm right. (and I'm their mother)

This is a daily event at our house.

Madison loves to put McKinzi in her stroller and

push her around the house, she loves it to!!
