Round Table Camping at Big Lake, Arizona

This past weekend was the Round Table (Allred Married Cousins) First Annual Campout. We went to Big Lake, AZ which was about a five hour drive from Phoenix. We thought it was only three hours to drive there, so the extra two hours were unexpected. It was really pretty up there and actually cold. Who would have ever thought that Arizona would be cold especially in August? It was nice to escape the hot weather and enjoy being one with nature. hahaha... That saying is coming from me. I am the last person to be one with nature. Since Emi's still little we decided to stay at a hotel in Eager. I don't know if the hotel was really for her or for me. :)

Here's Blaine driving to Big Lake, AZ. We always take this picture of Blaine driving whenever we go somewhere. It's tradition... weird, huh?


Emi sucking on her yummy fingers. She doesn't like her pacifier, but she loves sucking on her hand, which is fine with me, because we always forget her pacifier.


This was a little breakstop for Emi. Don't really know where this is, but the scenery was beautiful. As you can tell, it was also really windy.


Here's a better shot of the scenery on our drive to Big Lake, AZ.


Here's a family shot of us at the campsite. They made T-shirts for everyone to keep to remember our time at Big Lake. How nice!



This is the campsite at Big Lake. It was really pretty because there were so many trees. Reminded me of Utah.

Emi Simpson

We simpsonized Emi, but it doesn't look like her at all because she has so much hair. Oh well...

Good Ole Pool Swimming Fun

Last week Saturday, we took Emi chan to the pool. She loves it and is so relaxed. It's kind of nice because after we let her swim, she will take the longest nap too, so I looove going to the pool.

This is Blaine and Emi chilling on the shallow side.


She's a chunk!!!

Happy 3rd Anniversary

We still are married!!! Yeah!!! :) These are the flowers that Blaine got for our 3rd Anniversary. I was pretty surprised because of all the craziness that's been happening in our lives. I was pretty sure that he would forget... shoot, I forget too. Blaine just got accepted to the ASU MBA program. We were planning on starting in February, but told us that there was an opening this month. Just found out the beginning of the week that school starts today, so we were in a mad rush to get everything signed and filled out. Holy Stress!!! Anyways, everything is good and we are now set to go on this crazy adventure. Happy Anniversary Babes!!!

I want to be just like Daddy

I thought that these pictures were so cute of Emi wearing Blaine's Pulte work hat.
