memorial weekend in mesa

for the three day holiday, the parents+brother+me+matix drove down to mesa, arizona to visit our cousins, the millers.

deann is my dad's first cousin, making her and her family...my ummm..i dunno cousins?

it's easiest to just call everyone my cousins, okay? okay.

anyways...it was a nice relaxing awesome weekend.

here's some of the things we did....

bbq/swimtime

check out that tan line...DANG!

played with cousin allie and the kitty.

( matix is obssessed with animals i tell ya...he chased and held the kitty all weekend)

ate ate ate and ate

went rattlesnake hunting with uncle tom

(didnt find any..thankfully)

and the highlight of the trip....

was riding in a little airplane!!

unlce tom is a pilot for us airways...

so they have a little 2 seater airplane that timmy took us in

and he even let matix STEER.

like seriously. 

matix turned the wheel and we turned. 

he pushed it in and we dropped, and my stomach was lost.

i was basically freaking out,

but matix is STILL talking about it.

he wasnt scared at all!!

HE ABSOULTELY LOVED IT!!!

 maybe he'll wanna be a pilot when he grows up  :)

we had so much fun!!

and made it home just in time to say my final goodbyes to tres :(
