Carter kept reminding us as we were packing the car to leave that we need to remember to take him to see Brad. (He's Jason's friend from High School who is now a cop in Safford.) When we went there, he let Carter sit in his cop car and even try on his bullet proof vest and hold his gun. Carter was on cloud nine!! He could not take it all in fast enough. He even got to see REAL handcuffs. (Carter has been asking for a pair of REAL handcuffs for as long as I can remember.) The fake ones aren't very fun anymore because his sister seems to be able to get out of them pretty easy.
Thank you Officer Reynolds! You are his hero.
We stopped in Globe on the way to Safford, and Carter found the hat at the gas station that we stopped at. I couldn't say no...My kids love Grandma Nelson's dogs, because we don't have any of our own. So they were lovin' it when we got there and she was dog sitting for her sisters ten week old chihuahua. That dog was smaller than a Dr. Pepper can. So cute and almost irresistible, but then I saw how much work a tiny puppy was...
Mila and Leah were constantly chasing or harassing those dogs the whole time we were there.
Here's a picture of Mila waiting for the dogs to come back inside.
She's even trying to grab them through the doggy door. Too Funny!
Isn't it so cute?
We also took a trip up to Mt. Graham for a picnic while we were there. The mountain is always so fun, and our kids always ask when we're going back to the big mountain by grandma's house. Fun times!Mila still wasn't walking, so she stayed in the car and played with her cousin and sister most of the time.
I love playing games in the mountains. They seem so much more fun there and we always have lots of laughs playing... This time we played this game called ladder ball and of course I was terrible which made us laugh even more. Good thing Cindy and Grandma Nelson were good, or we could have played all day with no score.
Carter enjoying the mountains too.
Our highlight of the day was seeing some baby owls up in the trees. I have never seen owls up close, so it was pretty cool.
Like I said...Grandma and Papa spoil us while we're there. They bought a bubble machine for the kids and this was them going crazy...
We celebrated Leah's Birthday with them while we were there. This is the cake that grandma made her.
She was spoiled with presents too. She got this Hannah Montana guitar from Aunt Cindy.

I want to be the Nelson's grand daughter! Next time you guys go up maybe we can go stay with Becky and then we can take the kids to the mountains, that would be fun.
