Trip to Arizona

 Auntie Sharon gave Andrea a Pillow Pet for her birthday. She LOVED the Bumble Bee! She could sit on it and pull on his antennas. She also loves to lay on it and cuddle with the Bumble Bee.

 Great Grandma Boy gave Andrea a cell phone for her birthday. She loves it. Loves to pretend she's texting.

 She also loves to try and talk on the phone, but tends to hold it the wrong direction. She sure does talk on the phone though. She knows what she's saying, but nobody else does.

 She LOVED playing in the fountain with Spencer. She was completely soaked, but I let her keep playing because it was so dang cute.

 Playing with Uncle Mooker at the Organ Stop Pizza Place. Mooker just got home from his mission to Germany a few weeks before.  This trip was Andrea's first time ever meeting her Uncle.

 Dancing with Grandma while we listened to the lady play the Organ.

 It's really incredible. She can play so many different songs without any music. It's amazing!

 Here's a picture of everyone at the pizza place. Everyone but me. Quite the big group.

 This is me begging Steve for dance and him showing his response.

 I tried to dance the Polka with Uncle Poncho. He slipped on his cowboy shoes, but sat right down on the bench instead of going down on the ground.

 Uncle Bill came and cut in. I assumed he was asking me to dance, but he threw in a little twist and danced with Uncle Poncho. I'm sure in the world we live in today some people were really bothered by it, but Uncle Bill was just being funny.

 It was a really fun night. All of us girls were so excited to have the opportunity to dance, so we went out on the floor and pretended we were a Greek family and danced all around in a circle. It was so fun.

 Saturday morning was picture day. It had been a really long time since the entire family had taken a picture. So we took advantage of everyone being there for Grandma's 85t birthday.

 We had Grandma standing for just a little too long during pictures and her legs were jello. She could barely walk, so Steve and Bill were Eagle Scouts and decided to use their skills. :-) They carried Grandma to a place where she could sit and rest for a bit. Grandma is so cute in this picture!

 We decided to take a few more pictures with our own camera while we were there. I think she is so beautiful in this picture.

 Our little family picture!!!

 Ooh water!

 We love putting our toes in the water!

 Yea!!!!

 Ooh flowers. So many fun things!

 Grandma Bentz made Andrea these cool foam blocks. She loved to do several things with them. One of which included putting the blocks on her head.

 I can't remember who Andrea was disgusted with, but this is quite the glare!

 The Chloe dog enjoying some shade.

 Swinging time with Auntie Sharon and Aunt Melanie

 Melanie made this amazing cake for Grandma's birthday. It was really cool and really yummy.

 Grandma was soooo cute for her birthday. She is sooo positive and happy. She's such an example to everyone. Even though she can barely see, she never complains and is always positive. She makes everyone smile when they are around her. I'm so grateful to be able to be her Granddaughter. We love you Grandma and hope you had a wonderful birthday!

 Andrea loves Spencer!!!! She had so much fun with him.

 Still trying to figure out what the talking phone is saying and why it is talking.

 Playing with the blocks with Grandpa Bentz, so much fun.

 Andrea really liked to push the walker with Great Grandma Boy.  They pushed it all the way around the pool table in the living room.  It was so cute!

 Bath time with Grandpa and Grandma.

 Ooh, more fun with Spencer!

 Yea, Andrea caught Chloe's tail!

Andrea loved Chloe. She was constantly saying, "Da, Da,Da" We may have to get a dog some day. :-)  We had a lot of fun in Arizona and were very grateful that we were not only able to celebrate Grandma's 85th birthday, but that we were able to be there for Mooker's homecoming talk and to see him!
