Flagstaff, AZ Chairlift & Sunset Crater

After the Lava River Caves, we headed back the the hotel for dinner and swimming!  The following day we went to Snowbowl to ride the chairlift to the top of Humphrey's Peak (11,500 feet evel.).  What a beautiful sight!  We ended the trip with exploring the lava trail at the base of Sunset Crater (an extinct volcano).  So many fun memories from this birthday celebration!  Happy 10th birthday Brody!

Oh yeah!  Beautiful view and awesome weather!

Up we go!!!!  There are Jerry and Wyatt ahead of us!

BFF's!

The boys were taking in the gorgeous scenery!

Wyatt was such a trooper!  He hiked up to the highest peak with no problem!

Brody needed a rest at the top!  Ha ha ha!!!!

Flagstaff has an average high of 82 degrees in the summer!  A wonderful get away from our 113 degree heat in the city.

I love this adventurous family of mine!

The Halley boys!

On the way down, I got to ride with Wyatt and Jerry rode with Brody!  So fun!

Down we go!!!  Wee!!!!

This is Sunset Crater!

We took a hike along the the lava flow trail...cool!  Wyatt was leading the pack again. :)

The boys were amazed by the amount of lava rocks.

Thanks for joining us Halley family!!

We hope you had a wonderful weekend Brody!!!  Happy 10th Birthday!  xoxo

Happy 10th Birthday Tatum!

Tatum had a wonderful swim party at my mom and dad's house for her 10th birthday!  She was also recently in a Peter Pan play.  Today we're having a family party at Great Skate to celebrate her real birthday!  Ha ha!  Never a dull moment around here!!!

During the summer Tatum attends Spotlight Youth Theatre and is in a few different plays.

There she is up on the top by Peter Pan!  In this scene she is one of the lost boys.

All of her cousins came to support her!

Great job Tatum!!!

Swim party at grandma and papa's house!

My boys LOVE their cousin Nick!

Love the photo booth!!!

My little Wyatt is soooo cute!

Father's Day 2014!

We celebrated Father's Day on Saturday and Sunday this year.  Jerry had to work on Sunday, so went out to eat on Sat. instead.  Jerry wanted to eat at Fajitas (Yum) and then have a family movie night.  SO much fun!  We spent all day Sunday with Papa!  We went to church and then back to my mom and dad's house for swimming and family dinner.  We're blessed to have Jerry and my dad in our lives.  They are both such strong role models and love us endlessly! 

Breakfast in bed...yummy!

The boys made Jerry a few homemade items for Father's Day!

Jerry loved his plaque and poem!  Brody picked out the stickers...ha ha!

We love you Papa!

My dad's 76th birthday is June 17th, so we celebrated his birthday too!

Brody painted this frame for Papa!  A little thank you gift for being his sponsor for his 1st communion/confirmation.

We had to get this shirt for Papa!  We loved the gray side hair and beard!

We made Papa a plaque too...fishing theme.  He loved it!
