Arizona Winters

We have lived in Arizona for almost 3 years now and the winter weather continues to baffle me. It is hard to believe that a few months from now, we will be enduring triple digit heat. As for now though, we are enjoying our perfect outdoor weather.
One morning early in February we woke up to what we thought would be a cold and rainy day. Turns out by lunch time it was the perfect day to enjoy a bike ride at the park with friends.Dallen looks terrified but he kinda loved taking these little cars down the hill :)
On a Friday morning we came home from a Mommy/Dallen breakfast date, to our sprinkler overflow turning our sidewalk into our own personal ice skating rink. Dallen loved sliding around and didn't even get hurt when he slipped and fell, which was a lot! It was adorable, he kept saying "what the heck?" We don't see much ice here in AZ.Last weekend we drove a short 2 hours North to Flagstaff to play with the McMullins and their snow!! Dallen had so much fun sledding for the first time :)He had fun with Daddy...He had fun with Mommy...But he had the most fun with his best little buddy Caden (Dallen has no idea that Caden is twice his age)...Together they built a little snowman...And played in the mud, looking for rocks:All together we had SO much fun in the snow for the day and then drove home to our beautiful 60 degree winter weather.



I am starting to love Arizona, but it's much easier to say that in the winter!!

That's hilarious! To be able to choose when you want to play in the snow, and then when you're tired of being cold you can return home where you can wear flip flops in January!!!

You really need to do something with that little boys hair!!! Dallen is going to be mad at you when he sees these pictures when he is older!!!

Dallen is such a boy looking at his face riding his bike and going down the sled...it's so cute! We miss him and you but glad you're having a good winter! I think you should stop liking AZ and hurry and move to CA though
