On our hike through the red rocks.

Beautiful red rocks.

We took a vacation and headed down to Scottsdale, AZ. Our friends Mark and Erin Lyons have a time share in Scottsdale and invited us out for a vacation with them. The boys played golf 3 of the 6 days, while Erin and I sat at the pool, relaxed, and read books! We had a fabulous time and enjoyed the time away tremendously. One day we drove up to Sedona and saw all the beautiful red rocks and went for a little hike! It's wonderful to have good friends, free time, and each other to share such a vacation.

Zoe waits patiently....

So we got a cute little favor from my cousin Toby's wedding out in Denver this summer. It is a Blue Spruce tree seed. So I decided to plant the seed one afternoon and Zoe was very interested! She probably thought it was food or a treat perhaps, but none the less it was very cute to see her so interested, so patient, and protective of that tree seed!
