Arizona Fun in the Sun....

I have a conference in Phoenix this week so I flew down here Friday so I could spend some time with my family here. Yesterday, my son Bryan drove me to Wickenburg to have a picnic in the park with my sister Rubye Jean, her daughter Anna Jo and her family. Of course, Chuck travels with me when I go out of town, especially when I am going to visit family. Chuck is always the hit of the party when there are kids around.

My son Bryan cooked the meat and to make it easy on everyone, we had deli salads. We had a marvelous time!

Chuck gaurding the watermelon...

Little Emma, isn't she so cute?

Kash loves Spiderman, he is so good natured and smart...

Rue is named after her grandmother Rubye. Rue is so smart and very cute; she is quite the young lady...

This is my niece, Anna Jo and her husband Rick. They are a very cute couple and very good parents. Their love for each other shines through in every aspect of their lives. (I think Rick has a secret crush on me though but shhh don't tell AJ)

My beautiful sister, Rubye Jean. We had such a good visit and truly enjoyed each other's company. I was sad when our time ended; it was very hard to say goodbye.

Here I am with AJ. She is a sweetie and has such a cute personality and sense of humor.

Here I am with Bryan. I am very proud of the man he has become. I am very blessed to have such a strong, wise and compassionate man as my son.

My conference starts tomorrow and I will probably will not have time to post the rest of the week but will be able to monitor blog comments. Have a great week everyone!

P.S. Chuck, AKA Meanie, will be posting a blog later today.
