An AMAZING Time at Amazing Jakes!!!

We took a family trip to AZ the end of April to visit Family and geo to Tawna & Nathans fun 80's party!  We were only in town for 1 day so we made the most of it.  A few of us woke up early and went to watch Faith play in her volleyball game Saturday morning.  She did awesome!  Then we got the rest of the crew ready for the day and Maddie B. joined us... we went over to Amazing Jakes and waited to meet up with the Goodwin extended family for a few hours of fun together.  It was really a great time and we got to see Oma & Opa, Heidi & Bryce & Brooklyn, Eddie & Sally and Ephraim, and David was in town also!  We rode some rides, played some games and had a quick lunch. 

Then we went back to Pops to put the little girls down for a nap.  Kevin stayed behind to do that, while I dropped Kaitlin & Maddie off to get ready for a fun stake dance with friends, and Maddie & Faith off to swim and partay over at Rylees house in the evening! 

Then, rushed back to Pops to get all dolled up for the 80's party!

So, our day was extremely packed, but glad to spend even a little time with the people we love:)


























Maddie Turned 11!!!!!!

Maddie is 11 and I can't believe it!  She is SUCH an amazing kid:)  We had a few different celebrations this year since she left for AZ early morning on her b-day for spring break.  We had her favorite breakfast VERY early that day, her favorite dinner a week later when she got back home and a week after that a dinner out at Red Robin in Mesa with cousins, Granny & Grumpy and PAPA!!!   We sure love Miss Maddie!


Birthday morning for breakfast before heading to LAX!

Granny with the kids, all heading out that morning after easter... K&D off to see family in Ohio and Granny & Mads off to PHX!!!


Birthday Enchilada Dinner

She LOVES enchiladas, especially the OLIVES!!!!!

No cake for her this year... she chose Strawberries dipped in sour cream and then in brown sugar!  A kanaga favorite!

Happy to see cousins for dinner at Red Robin:)



The EATS and the FUN!!!

Maddie & Kaitlin helped with all of the food and decorating for their goals they are working on!  Maddie made this super cute centerpiece... 

Kaitlin made these deviled eggs to look like baby chicks hatching...

Maddie did an egg for eveyone with their name and a piece of paper inside with something nice written about them...

Very lovely place cards!

Our feast included Brown Sugar Ham, Potato Salad, Broccoli Salad, Deviled Eggs, Corn, Rolls, Lemonade and Strawberries for dessert...

LOVE these people!!!!  So glad Granny got to be here! 

Looks serious...

Contemplating what to eat next!

Happy Hostess!

A little play time after dinner...
