Danielle turned four this month.  She had a Frozen party just like Brooke.  She was so excited to be Elsa at her party and celebrate with all her little friends.  Danielle is a social butterfly and loves being with people.  She is so easy going and always happy.  I love how excited she gets over the little things. ;)  Happy Birthday Danielle!!  Pics from her Bday are HERE.

Fall Break in Vegas

This year for Fall Break we went to St. George for a couple of nights and then Vegas for the week.  We were in St. George for the Marathon and we got to see Derek running in his 11th one in St. George.  Super cool!  We spent some short time with family, but totally worth the drive.  Then on to Vegas!!  It was such a fun family vacation.  We did so many things with our girls and had a fantastic time!  Our pictures say it all!  Click HERE to see our fun family trip!!!

Couples Trip To Charlotte

Our couples trip to Charlotte was a success!  I had such a fun time being just with Matt.  We truly enjoyed one another so much and being in Charlotte got me soooo excited to move back there to live.  Brought back so many memories of our mission and I think it's so cool we get to live there again.  Pics from our trip are HERE.

Emilee's 11th Birthday!!

Emilee turned 11 this year.  She had a great birthday party at Skateland and got herself some roller blades.  Emilee is so much fun.  She is always so happy and easy going.  We love having her as the oldest daughter and sister in the family.  She is such a good example to all of us!!  Happy Birthday Ems!  Pics from her party are HERE.

Sedona Family Reunion

Every few years we have an Anselmo family reunion with Matt's dad.  This year we went up to Sedona.  It was so great spending time with his side of the family.  We don't get to see them as much and it was so nice for the cousins to get to know each other better and spend time together building memories.  It was such a successful trip.  Thanks Rocco for getting us all together!

Pics from our week are HERE.

California Vacation in July

We went to California in July.  We started our trip up at Big Bear where is was so much cooler and had the beautiful mountain and lake scenery.  The drive up there was just as pretty.  From mountainside to beach side, we went down to Catalina Beach to be with friends on the 4th.  We spent the day at the beach and had a blast!  We also got to spend some time with Matt's parents in Riverside.  It was a short weekend trip, but sooooo worth it!  Pics are HERE.

Utah Summer Trip

Our Utah summer trip is such a great vacation.  It's so nice to leave the AZ heat during the summer.  This year we went up for the whole month of June.  We spend time in Salt Lake as well as St. George.  The time went really fast because we were constantly on the move.  I love going up there to be with family and see friends.  My girls love spending time with their cousins.  We had such a fabulous time and continued to build countless memories with familyl!  Pics from our time up there are HERE.

Memorial Day Weekend

This year we went to Flagstaff with friends over the weekend.  We love Flagstaff!  There is so much to do up there.  We even saw and got to play in snow up in the mountians.  The highlight of our trip was for sure going to the Grand Canyon!  It was so amazing, absolutely incredible!  We loved it sooooo much!  As I look at our pics from there they don't even look real.  The views are so unbelievable.  It was so cool how we could just drive along and just see trees to the side of us and then we would turn off to a viewpoint and it would just open up to this magnificent view and at every viewpoint we could see a whole different side of the Grand Canyon!  It was so awesome!  I will never forget it and I can't wait to go back and spend more time there.  I want to hike down and see what it looks like from below.  It's no wonder that the Grand Canyon is one of the seven wonders of the world!!!  Our pics from our trip are HERE.
