Sedona...

Rhett and I have also been wanting to go to Sedona since we lived in Az. So we decided to head there too. It was a little warm, so only did a few hikes, and we didn't swim, because lets face it with two one year olds that just learned how to walk... not fun in a pool made of rocks=)!


Our first stop was the Chapel of the Holy Cross. It is a church built way, way up on the top of a hill, in the middle of the red rocks. Felt a little like SG up there!



Cozi... always so happy to be outside. Klara is too into checking out that rock wall next to her!!



We stopped at a little shopping, restaurant plaza, and the landscaping was amazing!!

It was so green and the buildings were all old, it kind of reminded me of the old missions in California. It would be a very, very cool place to take some wedding pictures there, or any kind of professional pictures, wish we lived closer=). It was beautiful...



These pictures don't do it justice!







Obviously, looking a little sick of mom and dads road trips!!

But they are loving facing forward in their new car seats!!

Montezuma Castle

On our way to Sedona, we decided to stop at Montezuma Castle on the way up. It is right off the freeway, we have passed it so many times on the way to Utah, we have always wanted to stop, but never have. Well we would have stopped a lot sooner if we knew it was RIGHT off the freeway.


Poor girls, good thing they love that stroller, i swear they live in it!!







This was once a 20 room apt building, they call it. It is one of the most preserved Cliff Dwellings in North America. It is over 1,000 years old, they say.

Thatcher....

Rhett and I have been wanting to go to Thatcher, AZ since they finished the temple there. We watched the dedication and it looked beautiful. We also have some family that went to school there, and a friend from there... In between graduation and Rhett starting Residency, we just jumped in the car and decided to go, we could just take turn doing sessions, during nap time=)!!


It was beautiful, they were doing a little work on the grounds, so we couldn't walk all the way around it. But it was still very pretty, very small and very much in the middle of nowhere!!




The girls just barely started walking the day before we left and they were so glad to be out of the car moving around, they walked around this planter box forever... it was the perfect height!!












It was a very cute little town... Thank you Britney for recommending the Mexican restaurant!! It was delicious!!!

Graduation!!

Well, the day came and went and well.... We made it!!! Rhett FINALLY graduated from Medical School!! Yay, Hooray!! I am so proud of him.... He has worked so hard the last four years! And now it is on to Residency!!


Rhett's Dad is a Dentist, so it was really neat, to have his dad "Hood"him.




Look who is so EXCITED!!!



The "hooding."


Our Family....




Rhett's grandparents were so nice to come all the way from Utah to celebrate. They really made a huge effort, and a few sacrifices to be able to come. We are so grateful they were here to celebrate.




The whole crew... Rhett's parents, My parents, the grandparents, Rhett's brother, My brother and his wife and our cute nephew. We were so excited to have so much support. Our families have been so supportive while we were in school.


Two of my good friends Kristy & Carlie.


I am so sad to see all of our friends moving on!! It is such an exciting time, but sad too. Most of us will probably never live in the same place again. These girls have become my second family here in Az.



Matt, Ryan & my Hubby.


Our good friends and neighbors...the skinners. We are pretty sad to see them go... They were really good neighbors!!


Me, Carlie & our friend Sara.


Our husbands, and us three girls spent a lot of time together the last four years. We all became friends at the beginning of school, so have been through a lot together. Including two board exams, endless study sessions, 4 christmas parties, 5 pregnancies, 6 kids, and a few vacations!! We aer excited for all of them to start residency, but so sad to see our friends go...
