Taking a Deep Breath

We could see the new temple from this view off of Deems Hill

relaxing and enjoying the view

eating yummy lunch!

Zachary had the best "Seat" in the house!

One thing is for sure... "winter" in Arizona is AMAZING! We are taking advantage of this beautiful weather to be outside as much as possible... So, once again we have the hiking bug! The funniest part too, is that our boys have even more of a hiking bug than us! They're pretty into it. We find little mountains all over the valley (mostly close by), take a little sack lunch and have at it. Zachary is actually becoming a good little hiker and Ike keeps us at a quick pace. Reese LOVES riding in the Kelty Backpack (particularly pulling our hair!). She also makes lots of love squeals as we pass giant cactus like above. It is such a great way to get out, have good quality time with our little kiddos and talk uninterrupted. It is amazing what peace we can feel just being out in nature together. It seems to make all our stress disappear:)
