We made it to Arizona!

Just a glance at one of the many beautiful views in Arizona.

 We live in Verde valley (meaning "green") which is surrounded by mountains!

Rimrock has a nice little park that is in the shade! This slide is steep and tall!

After going up with Daddy and Mommy about 5 times, Ruthanne was going up and down all by herself!

Nathan really enjoys slides too!

Daddy enjoyed "shocking" Mommy every time he landed!

Let's do it again!

She went all by herself with no help!

Brother and Sister time! This is the swing set by the church in Cottonwood which is where we are staying (in the prophet's chamber). We are staying for a couple weeks here.

Ruthanne already found a friend her age to play with.

She enjoyed the play-do from Grandma Sondergaard! Thank you!

Nathan has the whole fellowship hall to scoot around on! All of his onesies get black spots on the front! Lots of laundry.

Goodbye for now, Dear Family!

A big thank you to Dad and Mom Sondergaard, Brian, and Ron for letting us stay at their house for a month. We had some very special times.

The famous "flapjacks" and applesauce! All of the guys have atleast 6 each!

I walked out on the two planks to paint this wall

Swinging bye to say hi!

Nathan really enjoys the swing!



The slide wasn't too bad either!

Ruthanne could swing for hours! At each park,
she kept coming back to the swing!
