Arizona Adventure: January 2013

This past weekend, the four of us traveled to Arizona to visit the kids Tata & Nana Murrieta and Auntie Liz in Arizona. A "Christmas" tradition and moments we are blessed to be a part of. Our visit was Christmas 2012 & Happy Birthday Jesus center-based and filled with wonderful food, comfort, gifts, rest, peace, and love. Naturally, it took us a few days to catch up and regroup after arriving back in SoCal, and before weeks of Preschool, Ballet, park visits, family activities and preperation for our time spent in Washington State mid-February.

If you are looking for a photographer in Prescott/Prescott Valley, Arizona - let me know! We have previously taken photos with Rosalie and have never been disappointed. I absolutely LOVE pictures of my kids. That means I would never turn a free photo session down for anything! Thank you, Rosalie! I think my little hulapeno babies are the most beautiful children in the world - as every mother does of their own. Right? This particular photo shoot was sort of last-minute. But, I think all the picture's turned out great! On that note - please excuse the abundance of beautiful photos below and also, the naturalness in everyone's attire and attitudes. With that said, I hope you enjoy! I sure did! :)<~~
Teilani Marie's  natural sweet smile {Age Three} brings me peace  
The tininess in her fingers, the way she holds her train makes me wish I could freeze time

My Dear Kids: You have no idea how much love there is for you in this world. I pray you never forget these times we spent with our Arizona family. We are all very loved and prayed for daily. Until that day comes when you are grown and standing next to me and Daddy with maybe your own children - I will remember all the love and guidance that has been provided, and I hope you will too. We thank the good lord everyday that he blessed us with a strong, supportive and loving family in multiple states.

Take good care, my loves ~ Love, Momma T
