We are currently in Arizona. Brad is watching the Dodgers (his favorite team) at this years Spring Training. While he is with his buddies at the baseball field, the girls and I will be at the pool enjoying the warm weather.
Our trip began early yesterday morning. On our way, we stopped at one of my favorite places in the world...the Navajo Reservation in sunny Arizona. I lived on the reservation several years ago as I served as a missionary for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I can not tell you how much I love to visit this beautiful area and the amazing people that live there. Brad and the girls had a good time exploring the reservation and learning a little bit more about Native American culture.

Before we arrived on the reservation, I promised the girls that we would stop at my favorite trading post to buy them each a Native American doll. They were eagerly anticipating our arrival. On the way, I taught them how to say hello(ya'at'eeh) and thank you(ahe'hee') in Navajo. They practiced and practiced and practiced (so adorable). When the time finally arrived to use their new words they were too nervous to say them. :)

precious new doll.
