Another beautiful day in paradise...

It was another amazing day today here in Arizona! We woke up to sunshine and a cloudless sky and what looked to be the makings of another 75 degree day! We started our day off with a yummy breakfast and then the girls got ready for spa appointments at Aura Salon & Spa (Sarah Ament formerly from CR owns it) and the boys headed off to the Russo and Steele car auction. This is much like Barrett Jackson, but on a smaller scale and dealing with your more exotic cars. Mike took some pictures of his favorites, including a Porsche Speedster (my dream "fun" car)! He keeps telling me that someday we will have our own, I was hoping that day would be today, but no such luck!














The boys had a lot of fun at the auction and are all very excited to head to Barrett Jackson tomorrow! We are planning on spending a full day there as Gary Holub's Yenko's will be auctioned off tomorrow in the early evening.

The girls welcomed my Aunt Marge here from Colorado today, my Grandma's sister! She decided at the last minute to come and we are happy to have her. She definitely adds spice to the group and we laugh a lot when she is around!

We hosted the Thompson-Hankal-Suter clan over at the house tonight, it was a ton of fun to see all of them. There was a ton of catching up, giggling and even a "what you don't know about child birth" discussion that I was privileged to have with my cousins...my butt cheeks are still clenched, thanks Trina!

As promised I took some better pictures of the house this morning for all to see. It really is beautiful and we are so thankful we took the route of renting the house over all staying in a hotel where we wouldn't have the ability to just hang out the way we have, it really does make it a true vacation!

We are having a great time so far and not looking forward to coming back at all! If someone could just send out Baxter and Luca we would be perfectly happy staying right where we are!
