Scottsdale Girls Trip

We skipped our annual Scottsdale trip last year after my friend Wendy was in a motorcycle accident, so we were more then ready to get back there this year!

We decided to stop at Target on our way to the hotel.  We had to roll our suitcases around the store since they wouldn't hold them for us.  We felt like bag ladies! 🤣

We stayed at the Scottsdale Plaza Resort again.  We just love that place!

Our favorite bartender Barb makes the best margaritas.  We now call them "Barbaritas!"

It was a much calmer year than most.  We didn't go out dancing at all.  We spent a lot of time by the pool (and in the pool since it was over 100 degrees every day).

We ate delicious food and drank fabulous drinks.  We spent a lot of time just catching up.

We ate at the hotel the first night, SumoMaya on Friday and Culinary Dropout on Saturday.  We had been to all of them before but they are all absolutely delicious and fun so we wanted to go back!

Wendy and I went to the spa one day for a massage and facial.  It was absolutely heavenly! 

It was a relaxing and fun weekend.  I just love this special time with my girls.  I always come home recharged and ready to take on the world.  Can't wait until next year!

Jessica & Jonny's wedding

 

Our niece Jessica got married in September.  She and Jonny were married along a river in Port Angeles.  The scenery was absolutely stunning.

Having fun after the ceremony

She was a beautiful bride and he was very handsome too.  The reception was fun and lots of dancing was done by all!

After the ceremony Carson went swimming in the river with his cousins and other wedding party.  Brr! 

Summer fun

 

Homerun #2 at the Swinging Into Summer Tournament.  She had to wear the taco hat after that hit!

We went to see Jordan Davis at the Chateau St Michelle winery.  It was hot day, but a beautiful venue.  Will definitely be back for another concert!

Rylee and I spent the night at the beach after one of her tournaments.  It was a beautiful night as usual.  Rylee had to go out and get some sunset pics!

Carson went a loooong time without a haircut.  He had a pretty awesome afro!

Lots of boat time was had.  Swimming, tubing, bridge jumping, rope swinging, floating, fishing and friends.  I barely got any pictures which means we were having too much fun!

Landon's bday.  The boys had a great time golfing, batting, go carting and swimming.

16 year anniversary.  Spent most of the day at the ballpark with Rylee's team, but were able to make it home in time for a quick dinner at Windmill.  It was delicious!

Papa Tom visited and we took him to play mini golf.  It was a great time!

Rylee joined a new select softball team for the upcoming season.  They had their first "meet and greet" at the end of the summer.  She seems to like the team so far.  Hopefully it will be a great year!

Annual Sequim summer BBQ.  Kona got to go for the first time and she was a big hit!  It was a jam packed, fun filled summer.  I wish it wasn't over so soon!
