Comments (and Pics) of the Week: Arizona 2010
We got back from our trip to Arizona on Sunday night. We had a great time watching baseball, hanging out with family, and visiting with friends. Brookie had a great idea to keep track of funny quotes throughout the week. There are also some pictures at the end of the post too. Enjoy!
"That baby wipe just got pulverized on your face!"
—Missy
"The Knicks got bombed."
—Kid leaving the Fox Sports Grill upon seeing the final score of the Jazz-Knicks game
"I'm about to have a blowout."
—Cameron
"Farce alarm."
—Missy
"How the heck am I cold in a hot tub in Arizona?"
—Cameron
"Don't get too close or I'll gash your leg with my leg hairs."
—Missy to Weston while sitting in the cold hot tub
"Oh! Marc!"
—Ellie
"Oh my gosh, you're psychedelic."
—Grandma
"If you're gonna pump the gas, pump it right. Come on buddy!"
—Gas station attendant speaking via intercom to a teenager having trouble at the gas pump
Joe (Home Depot employee helping John choose a new toilet): "This toilet can flush a bucket of ping pong balls."
John: "Nah. We don't need to flush ping pong balls—just the regular stuff."
"Do you have any 11s?"
John asking Joe if there are any toilets more powerful than a 10 rating
"Fair is when mother or father do what they think is best for each individual child."
—Amelia's answer to her mom's question of what is fair, after proclaiming that something wasn't
"His name is Todd, not dog."
—John correcting his 2-year-old daughter
Todd: "Where are your pants!?"
Jacob: "This is a night shirt."
Todd: "I know it's a night shirt, but where are your night pants?"
Todd (trying to snap a picture of Lizzy): "Look up here darling."
Lizzy: "I'm not a doggy."
"If you tackle your toddler so they are crying it is a lot easier to brush their teeth."
—John
"That truck stepped in gum."
—John
"You're a thinker, not a stinker."
—Julie
"Oh! Gogg!"
—Sarah, John's 2-year-old daughter greeting me at the door after General Priesthood meeting
Brookie, Missy, and Leila watching our brother's first game of the tournament. Brookie is keeping score, of course.
Our brother Weston strikes a pose.
Apparently, Grandma didn't appreciate having her picture taken...
Go Royals! Here's a picture of us and our cute niece Ellie at a Spring Training game for our team (because, you know, the four baseball games we saw for our brother's tournament weren't enough).
A word of advice: Don't ask adorable kids to say "cheese!" when they are enjoying a cookie, or you might get a picture that looks like this:
...That's more like it.
We found an amazing self-serve frozen yogurt spot called Cherry On Top. These pictures were taken on our third visit in three nights.
And this is the best picture of my dad. Ever.
Our rental got a rock chip on the freeway. We did the responsible thing and paid to have it filled, but five minutes later it split half the width of the windshield. As a side note, this picture made me think our camera was broken before realizing it was still in view mode.
This is the Reynolds-Bauman family portrait. We spent Friday and Saturday in Thatcher, AZ with our friends, and grabbed this group shot before the kids went to bed.
This is what most of the non-Apache-reservation scenery looked like for the three-hour drive from Phoenix to Thatcher.
If your eyes are this blue, you may call me whatever you'd like—even "Gogg."
Go to the board!

Those are awesome pictures! You seemed to capture the trip very well. I liked reading everyone's funny stuff and it WAS funny! What a good idea to write down the quotes. Ellie was asking for you guys all the way home. "Where Book, Dodd?"- Ellie. We had so much fun spending time with you two. See you in a few months (I'm glad we get to see you lots this year). :)
ReplyDeleteWe were so glad that you guys could come visit us. Especially thank your parents for us. It was such a fun time and really felt like we did so much even though we really didn't do anything. It was just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteWow great pics! Thanks for not posting any of me! I should send you a thank-you card. Mom
