this year the kids & i were arizona bound again to see the banner fam! hillary, maryam & their kids joined the party & we road tripped it with 8 children! it was crazy fun & we made memories i will never forget...
max the trax sporting his spring-break attire
hillary & maryam bought us "matching dresses" people asked us if we were a traveling band.... hahaha. no, we are just dorks! (don't worry, we had one for lindsay as we arrived)
within 5 minutes into the trip, hillary managed to break my expensive (cough, cough) cooler
suv #1
unplanned detour sight of the "throw-up" incident
she just got back from hawaii, can you tell?
organic bathroom stops!
finally out of the car!!! our first dinner was at sweet tomato
we got the kids to bed (minus frell) & went boutique shopping at a house. i looked over to see frell making new friends.
they got really close.
max & chloe.... i.e. mr. & mrs. rothey 2030?
breakfast smoothies on the trampoline
lunch at fuddruckers
give my kids a quarter and they are in hog-heaven!
fabric store stop for banner boutique
& a sweet treat from arizona sprinkles.... i made everyone try the new VEGAN red velvet, yum!
we went to the mall to ride this fabulous train!
maryam & i stayed to shop, my kids de-robed the manequin, then frelly smelled it's butt. nice, huh?
this is what happens to a dozen sprinkles when you leave the kids in charge of the box
the photo shoot
liam couldn't resist
backyard smores in the famous hand built fire pit ala brother banner!
bopper found these two painting each other's nails & talking about their beloved papa. i am pretty sure the paper towels were jane's idea. my frell can't be bothered with such details =)
midnight munching without the kiddos!
till next year...
