Milo and I have been having fun in Arizona. It's been fun to be a snowbird!! :) We have had a few visitors and have loved showing them everything. As you can see, my nephew Hogan came and stayed with us for a week. It was fun to spend time with our little buddy.

This is one of my favorite pics of Hogan. I don't think I have ever seen him smile this big since he was little, it was fun to see that smile again.
We had to take the little guy to see the Mesa Temple, he was pretty amazed at how many lights they have compared to the Salt Lake Temple.
We had to make one stop at the Puma store, since Ricky Fowler is his all time favorite golfer. I made him pose with the Orange Crusher hat.......that's his golf nickname on the course.

Hogan and Milo with the famous Superstition Mountain in the background.

Hogan loves watching his uncle Milo crush the ball. He came up with a nickname for Milo....."The Molinator".....since he has a small mole on his check and hits the ball a long way :)

Here is the "Orange Crusher" in action......I think he takes after his aunt - great swing!

Loved having Hogan ride in my cart, he is one funny kid. He tells the funniest stories and even tipped one of the outside guys with a candy bar.

Hogan always had to be hanging out with Milo. It's amazing how 12 year old boys love to have a guy around. He loved talking about golf, sports, guns and other boy stuff with Milo.

Milo put Hogan to work while at the course, I think we finally made him tired :) He wants to work at a golf course and loved spraying off the carts.
Hogan loves to shoot guns and when he found out Milo had guns, we had to take him shooting.

We went to check out the gold mines and Hogan tried to blow things up....gotta love boys! It's all about blowing stuff up.

Milo's cousin had a drum set at his house and we couldn't pull Hogan away from them. I was amazed at how talented he is on the drums. He is a very musical kid with a natural talent for everything musical.
He can really rock out!! He must get that from his cool Aunt Amy :)

We had to take him hiking. He was amazed to see all of the different kinds of cactus by our house.




On his way home all by himself....I was a little scared for him, but he did really well. I sure miss having him around, he is one fun kid!

Temple lights

We had fun hanging out with Milo's family. I love this pic, they are such cute kids!

Ha ha - love Jay's face, he's a funny kid.

Ha ha - love this one of Jay! It looks like one of the faces Milo's makes, makes me laugh.

Cute little Eli! He was my buddy :)

Love this one....soooo cute!!

Superstition Mountain - best course in AZ!

Milo, his dad and Brandon golfing - fun times!

We had a blast hanging out with this 70 year old couple on their razor. I don't know why we don't have more senior friends - they are fun!

Fun Times

Ok- I haven't posted in a really long time. Below are a few pics from this past year. Milo and I have been in YM and YW, it has been sooo much fun to hang out with the youth. We have gone on some fun activies, snowshoeing, hiking, repelling, and camping. I also got to go to Mama Mia with the "girls," it was a lot of fun. We even had back stage passes, but they never let me try on any of the outfits :( I think I could have pulled off the Dancing Queen/Power Ranger costume......they should have at least given me a chance. I guess I will never know :( In my next life, I want to be a Diva or a Super Hero......both have killer costumes!

4th of July - Battle Creek Falls

Finally we made it!!!
Although this was a short 1 mile hike strait up hill in flip flops, it was worth it! The Battle Creek Falls are really pretty and the mist helped cool us down from the 98 degree temperature that day. I'm happy we found out about this little gem!

4th of July - Battle Creek Falls

Milo and I had a great 4th of July! We played golf with my brothers and nephew Hogan. Then Milo and I stopped to get a Cold Stone Ice Cream - "Gotta Have It" and headed to Battle Creek Falls. This is the first time I had hiked this little Pleasant Grove Gem......who knew it was only 15 mins from my home town. This is Milo showing off his "Gotta Have It" aftermath. You can't really see it in the picture, but he spilled mint chocolate chip, fudge and brownie ice cream on his shirt. It almost landed on his shorts, but luckily his belly caught it.
