My Grandma Trip to Arizona!

Rachel can be very persuasive.

She convinced me to make a rather impromptu visit to Tucson to spend time

with her family, especially the grandchildren!

I hadn't seen baby Kinsley yet so that was a huge incentive to go!

Joe encouraged me to just do it............and I did!

 

We took several morning walks to the neighborhood park - the weather was glorious!

Elenna and I did some schoolwork together.

I think we wore Nathan out sometimes!  

He was so cute - he called me FiFi while I was there.  I have no idea how

he came up with that, but it sure was precious!

Elenna and I had fun making lemon bars!

Courtney and Dennis decided to fly to Tucson for a quick weekend trip when they

 knew I would be there.

So we had a semi-family reunion!

They came over to Rachel and David's house, along with Jonathan and we had the

lemon bars that Elenna and I had made earlier.

Then we went over to the park and took some pictures.  Dennis brought his

drone, so that added an additional fun element!

Jonathan holding Kinsley.

Two beauties!

I love these girls so much!

Look how packed in all these houses are!

The three originals!

The next day, Sunday, we went over to Jonathan's new house for a cookout.

His house is lovely and we all had a wonderful time - with really good food!

His home has a very high ceiling, which makes it look very open and airy.

His Egyptian tapestry from his visit there a few years ago.

It is absolutely beautiful!

And of course, we took more group pictures!

Rachel and David's family!

My sweeties, in age order......

I am one happy grandma here.  Love these three littles so much!

It was a great time at Jonathan's.  Courtney and Dennis left the next day, but I

had several more days left for my visit.

Kinsley is so alert!

The newness of my visit was wearing off......Elenna wasn't too happy with me when I

asked her to put the books away!

I had such a GREAT time visiting with Rachel and David and their family, along with  

Jonathan, and Courtney and Dennis!

It was a wonderful trip!

BUT, THE BEST NEWS IS YET TO COME.........

Rachel and David have decided to move to Nebraska!

We are beyond excited!
