Hello Everyone!
I didn't get a chance to check in at all while in AZ (grandma has webtv which is ridiculously useless when you're used to what I have). haha , but i'm slowly and surely catching up on all the posts.
It sounds like everyone had a fabulous Christmas and other holidays which is fabulous! My vacation was GREAT! It was at least 80 degrees in the part of AZ I was in nearly every single day. I wore a tank top and a skirt everyday I was there, and definitly got myself a lovely little sun tan. I have pics of my family and I laying out back in the sun on christmas day. It was really weird with no snow or cold weather, and I don't think i'd want to do it every year, but it was fun while it lasted.
We also went to the grand canyon which was awesome. I've been there before but not since I was really little. My mom and dad surprised us with a luxary helicopter ride through the canyon for an entire HOUR! That was amazing.. there were 360 degree views and we were right in the middle of all the action. I took tons of pics and I'll post some as well. We also hiked a few miles down the canyon.. but not too far. We already got the best views from the helicopter.
Anyways.. glad everyones doing well. I'll post some pics when I upload them

Awesome Pictures Ashley~ I have not been to the Grand Canyon yet but I hope when our kids get older we can take them to visit. My husbands uncle leaves in phoneix and he emails us pictures and they are just amazing. The have beautiful sunsets and sunrises. You can see the mountains from their backyard. Glad you had a good time.

Thanks Guys!
I definitly recommend visiting someday if you ever get the chance. It is simply amazing to see. I took 170 pics so there is a lot more where that came from. (haha but I figured a few would be sufficient on here )
The first time we went we visited the north rim bc it was when we were living in colorado. This time we were visiting my grandmother in pheonix so we went to the south rim. Both are amazing.. plus we got to see both sides on the helicopter ride.
Anyways.. my brother and sister are both younger than me. I'm 24, my sister is 22, and my brother will be 21 in Feb. Most people tell me that I look the youngest though.. which I don't mind. Hopefully it will stay that way when I hit my forties and fifties

It's funny, I just went to lunch with a friend of mine last week and she brought her pics of Arizona when she went in July. They are almost the same exact pics! It's just gorgeous out there. Was it cold? You have a jacket on. I didn't think it got cold in AZ? Do you have family there or did you just go on a trip to visit?
Thanks for sharing Ashley!

Hello..
It was in the 80's in pheonix.. however at the grand canyon it was in the 50's. I guess its usually a lot colder there.. probably bc of elevation and its farther north than pheonix.
Anyways.. my grandmother lives there in a retirement community so we went to visit her for xmas, but made a trip to the canyon for two days as well since we were in AZ

They definitely have some beautiful scenery out there. Looks like you all had a lot of fun too!! How old are your brother and sister?? You all look pretty close. And why don't you look more like them?? lol
Glad you had fun but I bet it didn't feel like as much like Christmas for you out there without all the snowy weather of the north. Thanks for sharing the pics! I keep meaning to post a couple because I got my hair seriously chopped off a week ago and just haven't bothered to upload the pics to the computer yet. I should get on that...

Hey..
it was gorgeous.. you should def post pics of your new hair. I really want to see it!
As for my brother and sister.. maybe we look more alike in person. I've heard that I look like both my brother and my sister, but it really depends on the day hah.

Hey Ashley, glad you enjoyed your visit to AZ! And I see you passed by my hometown...I grew up in Camp Verde, near Sedona. I took those red rocks for granted the first 18 years of my life!
