AZ trip part 3

Well, our trip started out Friday when Troy got off work, we took off and drove to Oklahoma City..spent the night and got up and finished the trip SAt. We stopped at a rest stop somewhere on the reservation and loved this teepee...here we are taking a break!
We finally arrived in AZ and met Troys mom and dad in Holbrook to eat dinner...wow a sight for sore eyes!! Then we headed to Papa Jack's favorite restaraunt Romos for his Father's Day dinner. Alot of Troys family came and met us too, here was the whole crew!


We had a special table in the back for our big group...wow were the kids ready to be out of the car!!

We stayed in heber for one night and headed down to the valley. This post isnt in order now..so here are some of the things we did...



Here we are ain Payson. Me and my big brother Joey..well now he's Joe, but to me thats my dad...my brother is Joey..so is his son...wow its confusing!! Here are all the teens! look at how big all these boys are...do they look like they think they are hot stuff or what???
Cute cousins! This is my brother Joey and his wife Annie's basement. The kids all had a ball playing with all the fun!

No we are not singing...my mom, me and my Aunt Judy hanging out...cant remember what we were looking at.

Here is Macee, Isabella, and Emma. These 3 girls had such a great time together! Isabella turned 6 on July 4, Emma will turn 6 in Sept and Macee in Dec. They are spaced 3 months apart. What fun to have cousins so close!
We spent one day at Hamilton Public Pool..this is the best pool. It cost $.50 per kid!!! and like $1 for adults. they have a fun kiddie pool with all sorts of stuff, a lap pool, 2 diving boards, 2 water slides, a whirlpool swirly thing and a small lazy river! We love this pool and especially love that it cost under $10 to take our family and my sisters family!! who needs Sunsplash!!

Here is Macee hugging me after she swam by herself...see pic below, yes out of order.

Macee learned to swim at the pool...here she is swimming to the side! She was a trooper, and even though she was scared, she wanted to so bad! What big girl she is getting!! This is one of our favorite pics...This is my nephew Hilton...he was just diving off the board, but look close...the boy on the other diving board is just right so it looks like Hilton is a big bird with that little guy in his claws or something!! Its great!

Jalan was such a champ...he was doing dives, flips and everything off the board! He isnt afraid of anything!

We spent on day in Payson with my brother and sister...this is from Joey's balcony..what a beautiful sight! Papa and Britton taking a little time out from all the dart playing, pool table, ping pong and lots of other games! We had a fun day!

We stopped up on the rim to take some pics of the kids

Troy and I up on the edge of the Rim by Woods Canyon Lake..what a view! Papa Jack doing one of this famous looks!!

The boys played lots of football actually lots of ball with uncle Brandon Uncle Jed, and Uncle Ryan. Here is Britton and Seth planning their revenge on Jalan!


Disnee and Chalyce being silly eating limes! sour face!!! Two cuties...Britton and Parker..what a bunch of cute kids we have!

We had to get a pic of the kids with a big saguaro cactus! We always took for grantid all the sights we saw every day..until we dont see them. We never realized how beautiful it all is there!
