Fun with Family!



We always have some fun when family comes to visit! We decided that we would have Berlin's blessing and Boston's Baptism during the same weekend so family from out of town could make it to both events. The weekend started early, when Phil's parents (Bryon and Debra), grandma (Gae), and sister (Sara), arrived via car on Thursday evening. We were hungry so we decided to grab some grub at Islands! We met Shavonne and Greg there too and got to enjoy some great food and conversation! After dinner, Phil went with his parents to pick up his Aunt Pattie and Uncle Tom early from the airport, (or so he thought) when he arrived he saw someone who looked "exactly" like Tony chillen out at the curb. (He had ABSOLUTELY NO clue that his brother Tony was coming!) He was telling his mom to take a picture and send it to Tony because it was his EXACT twin! His mom said it was too funny! Phil hasn't gotten to hang out with Tony for a few years now, so it was A SUPER surprise! As soon as they got home they were up on the Wii playing baseball! Classic!

The kids didn't really remember Tony, so it was fun to see all their reactions to him! Paris noticed that he was quite a bit taller than Phil...so of course she had to mention that! Ha Ha! Seattle was obsessed with feeding him for some reason! She usually is pretty stingy...but when it came to him she was more than willing to share! He was a good sport, taking small chews out of some pretty soggy fries! Sorry Tone!

After Aunt Pattie and Uncle Tom flew in for real, we went to Pinnacle Peaks steak house in Scottsdale, where we met up with Uncle John and Aunt Becky too! The place is pretty old school...so I took some sweet pictures! The kids LOVED it!

A sweet warning sign that luckily none of us needed!

This place has a way of collecting business cards, so Phil, his dad, and his uncle John all placed their cards up on the wall! Notice Bryon has 2! Ha ha! Cards have a way of disappearing, or getting covered up...so we took a picture to remember where they were this time!

On the way out, the girls HAD to take a ride on the horse...so Grandma Debbie kicked down with the .50! SO worth the money!D

It's a TON of fun hanging out with everyone!!

(This sign just looks so "hard"...so I included it!)

Awww, so now you know the "secet"! J/K!

We were already thinking that we need to meet somewhere "half way" and then we realized...that would probably be Utah. We should plan a family reunion and meet somewhere!
