Tucson Botanical Garden

-
Okay friends and fans, I have decided to give you a break from the constant pictures of zoos. This post is going to feature pictures of... A botanical garden! Yes, I know, you are all too excited for words. Well, so am I. So this is the end of my words.

Just kidding, I can always find something to say, I'm pretty sure I inherited that from my dad. Anyway, here are some more pictures from Mom and my vacation to Arizona in January. Sunday morning after Wicked, we tried to figure out what we could do in Tucson. We were planning on going to San Xavier's church (as I posted before) but didn't want to go in the morning due to Mass. So we decided to go to the Tucson Botanical Gardens. It's a small house that had amazing gardens. The owner donated it to the city, and now it's a beautiful garden. True, we were there in January, so a lot of the plants weren't flowering, but it is Arizona, so there were still some.

Here's Annette as a beautiful butterfly. :)
And me as an even more beautiful butterfly. :)

Alita as an "okay" beautiful butterfly.





So most of these pictures are pretty self- explanatory. I don't think I need to tell you who everyone is. :) It was a lot of fun, and I'd definitely go back again...especially if it were flower season.

You should come some time. The girls are fabulous hosts and AZ is definitely the place to go in the summer.

So, would you believe that I have been there... about 5 years ago. It was SOOOOO hot. But the botanical gardens were excellent. We always end up in places like that on our trips. (Not that we have any these days)

One Year!

-
For those of you who may not know, today is my one year anniversary. It has been exactly one year since my graduation from BYU -Idaho and Rexburg . That's right, December 20, 2006 was the memorable day that I said good-bye to Rexburg and the campus that had been my home for too many years and entered the real world. All right, Ogden UT isn't exactly the "real world" but in honor of my anniversary , I thought I would reminisce for a moment and do a recap of my year. Unfortunately the only people who read my blog are quite aware of what I have done this year, but hopefully it will provide some humor . First I celebrated my release from the land of ice and snow by going to Arizona for Christmas. although it is traditional to wish for a white Christmas , there is nothing wrong with celebrating Christmas in a place that is warm enough to swim. I agree with Alita that we should spend Christmas in AZ more often, it just makes sense. Upon my return to the tundr...

DISNEYLAND!!!!

I'm sure you are all aware that we went to Disneyland for Thanksgiving. I'm making this assumption because four of the six people who regularly read my blog were part of the expedition. We had a great time and here's a little summary of our trip. I was a little apprehensive about spending that much money to go to a theme park. I went to Disneyland when I was a sophomore in High School and had about as much fun as I do at the doctor's office (and no, the doctor's office is not my happiest place on earth.) I knew lots of this had to do with the company and the fact that I got pretty sick in the park and on the way home, but there was still a part of me who attributed it to the fact that I'm not really an "amusement park person." But the girls did make it sound like fun, so I decided to give the park one more chance. Well, I'm certainly glad that I did. It was a blast!!! We had such a good time and I only thought I was going to die once, which is real...

Colorado Trip- Musuem of Nature and Science

I know it's been a while since I actually went to Colorado, but I have a strict policy on skipping ahead. That means that I can't blog any of my Yosemite pictures until I've done my Easter weekend, so I decided to stop procrastinating. My weekend in Colorado was fantastic. I guess it's hard to go wrong when I'm visiting my favorite brother, sister-in-law and niece. Coleman and Roni are great hosts and anyone who hasn't been out to visit them should serious rethink that. Of course, the only people who read my blog are immediate family members, and they've all been there. So i guess you'll all just have to go again. When Coleman asked me what I wanted to I said "go to the zoo." I'm sure this doesn't come as a shock to anyone who even remotely knows me. I love animals it is true, but I had another reason for wanting to go to the zoo. Makadie loves animals too (I knew she was going to take after me) and know a lot of their names and...
