Extended Valentine's Weekend

Allen and I decided to make our Valentine's weekend a little longer. We headed off to Arizona on Wednesday for one of Allen's best friend's wedding which was Thursday morning. Here is the happy couple. Dave and Derrelyn were married in the Mesa Temple Thursday Morning.


Dave and Allen had a little competition... Who do you think won?
I am glad that Allen's friends are closely connected to my family. Can you tell we are related?
Dave and Allen looking good... Looking real good!

It worked out that Allen's sister Julie was going to be in town the same time as we were. This was the first time the entire "Sabey" family has been together since before Allen and I were married. We had a lot of fun together. We took family pictures and those will be posted later. We also went to the zoo. I fell in love with this turtle at the zoo. Most other turtles are a little to snake like for my liking, but this one was quite handsome.


He even gave Blake, Haily, and Kelly a ride. What a Turtle!


We had a lot of fun with Blake, Kelly and Haily. They are so cute. We loved the zoo... especially BJ the polar bear.

We got to visit with Grandpa Sabey.


Dave's reception was decorated for Valentine's day so it looks like we went to a Valentine's Dance. Below is Dave and Derrelyn's cake topper. I thought that Allen and I were Cheesy, but they might be a little more cheesy :)




No trip to Arizona is complete without a couple games of croquet. Unfortunately, Allen and I didn't' win a single game. But we were excited for our cousin Michael for winning his first game ever!



We also got to go to the Schafers and see my sister and her family. They brought Allen back to his childhood and let him play pac man. He is quite enthralled.

Then we went to Phoenix to catch our flight. Before we left we had time to play some monopoly.


And then I got to see my BFFs! Brynn came down from California for the long weekend. This was the first time Laura, Brynn, and I were together since my wedding.

Overall we had a fabulous Valentine's weekend.

Looks like a lot of fun...any weddings coming up in Oregon any time soon? We would love surprise visit too! ;-) Maybe we'll drop in on you next month though. You both look great too!

I see you hanging out in short sleeves and sunshine. It makes me jealous.
