Wow this was harder than I thought...
Ok, so those of you who read an earlier post after we climbed Camelsback mountain know that I am not really a mountain climber...I was possessed for a while...but half way up this mountain that evil spirit that had prompting me to climb mountains vanished!!! I remembered why I HATED hiking! It's dangerous, boring, hard...I could go on and on but I won't bore you! I started yelling at Kelsey, "why are we doing this? " "why are we risking our kids' lives?" "This is so STUPID!" Thank goodness for Kelsey's patience...he should have kicked my butt over the side of the mountain! But no, he was just loving and kind coaching me all the way to the top! I think he started fearing that I was going to throw his his butt over the side for torturing me like this! So needless to say, yes I made it to the top and yes this is my final mountain climb of the year!!! (Unless that other personality returns, but I'm trying to keep the real me here!)
Titan Missile Museum
The missile museum was pretty cool! The missile itself was amazing! And being that close to something that could do so much damage was kind of weird!
What a nice big brother!
It was pretty cold in the mornings and since we didn't have any fire wood Kyle let Emily squeeze into his sweat shirt with him!

Funnies story from our whole trip...
Ok, so as we started walking down the streets of Tombstone we noticed this guy...Kelsey thought he looked like Ike Clanton(one of the famous cowboys) so we went over to take a picture with him...he then proceded to sell us tickets on the town trolley that would give us the history of Tombstone. I'm no dentist, but this guys tooth needed some serious dental work. I say tooth instead of teeth because he only had 1 or maybe 2 teeth left in his mouth and they were rotten down to the root! He had no teeth left on top so he spoke with kind of a funny slur. Here's the funny part...he turns to Kelsey and points to his belly (kelsey's belly that is) and says, "I see you have one of these too!" As he's patting his own belly! The kids and I started laughing hysterically!!! We thought it was so funny that he would liken Kelsey to himself!!!
Now that's a pizza!
On our way to Tombstone we decided to stop in Tuscon for some pizza. We had remembered our friend Jesus telling us about this giant pizza...we couldn't believe it when it came! It was huge!!! And delicious too!!!Kyle Sandwich!
We loaded up the car and headed for Tombstone! We had so much camping gear that the kids all had to sit on the first row. This was how they decided to take a nap! Doesn't look very comfortable to me!
Priceless...
Here's the kids with their Great Grandpa Parke. We were told back on November that he had less than a year to live so we have been trying to spend as much time with him as possible. I loved this picture of the him and the kids!
Our trip to Boise...
We went and ate lunch with my nephews at school and Rook and I decided to play a game of hopscotch! I don't know why, buy I just loved this picture!

Camelsback Mountain in Scottsdale
Ok, so those of you who know me well know about my multiple personality disorder...well another personality has been discovered! It's the one who likes to climb mountains. Crazy, I know. But it reallly was such a beautiful day that we just had to get out. This was a pretty tough hike, but I'm so proud of myself for making it to the top!!!
