Toasty Arizona

Christian flew back from China late Tuesday night, August 11th. We played Wednesday and found out about our baby boy, then Thursday morning Crew, Christian and I drove down to Arizona. For some reason, Crew loves Christian. Well, it really isn't too hard to see why but it is fun to have Crew love my little bro so much.
Why would we ever leave California in the middle of the summer to go to Arizona? There were a few times I questioned that myself but we had a great trip and loved being able to swim, swim, swim! Crew and I got to play with our buddies Ashley and Ethan Friday afternoon which was so much fun! Ashley is having a baby girl a month before our baby boy and Crew is two months younger than Ethan. It is so fun having our kids so close.

Crew and Ethan hit it off together right away, kind of like their mamas. They were both pretty good swimmers too!

Something strange about Richter grand children is that their eyes turn green around age two. Carson's did and look at the green eyes on Crew! He does still have some blue but green is really coming out. (I just looked at this picture on Matt's laptop and they don't look as green as on our home computer)

We were thrilled to have daddy fly in Saturday morning. After a quick trip to Last Chance, we were back at grandma and grandpa's showing off all our new skills for dad.

It was ok to be outside as long as you were wet. So Crew was still able to do lots of jumping on the tramp.

The mornings were still not too bad as well so of course we had a morning baseball game in our pj's. I love being able to just play in the backyard and so does Crew.

My dad busted out a bag of 100 of these balls. I asked Crew what he was going to do with all these balls and he told me "Its ok, grandpa will pick them up" Does he think he has them around his little finger or what! For the record, Crew did help me pick up the balls.

I just like the angle of this shot

Sunday morning we went over to the west side of the valley. Matt's dad was made the new Stake President so it was really great that we were able to be there for his sustaining and setting apart. We played at the Allens until Wednesday morning and then came home. I will post pictures of that part of the week when I get them but there was swimming with Buffy, Chloe and Bella, a fun get together with our good friends the Hunters, and lots of playing at grandma's house. We loved being able to be there even if it was 111 degrees!
