This year for Girls Weekend we visited Katie in Phoenix! As always we had such a great time. Despite the two pregnant ladies (Me & Ronna) fighting off morning sickness, lack of sleep and swelling of the feet! Katie's parents live just around the corner from her and were so kind to let us crash at their place. :)
We had such a wonderful day going to the Mesa Temple together! Katie had been bragging up the food so afterwards we ate in the temple cafeteria, which was a first for the rest of us. It was really good! I loved being in the temple with these ladies and am so grateful for them all. :)
Later, after some serious shopping, Katie took us to this awesome wig shop! I had never tried on a wig before in my LIFE... but we had so much fun experimenting with different styles. :) The lighting wasn't the best but I think you get the idea. :)
Cheri found her fav pretty quickly.
We had a fantastic time snacking & gallery hopping in old town Scottsdale. Later, we stopped in for a late night treat at the famous Sugar Bowl ice cream shop. The Sugar Bowl is where Family Circus (the comic strip) originated and was written.
Katie was a great host. Among the temple, wigs, art & ice cream: we saw an awesome yodeler perform, ate at lots of yummy restaurants, went purse shopping, saw the Adjustment Bureau, spent many late nights talk talk talking and received a first class painting lesson from Katie. :)
Matthew Rojas, Esquire...dad and husband extraordinaire! It's always great to see how our kids have grown and catch up with the guys. All of Katie's family lives nearby so we got to spend some time with everyone. This picture is dedicated to all of our great hardworking husbands who take over our motherly duties each year and support us while we become women of the wind for a few days! We are grateful for them! Until next year....Houston 2012. :)

I love your tribute to the dads. Hear Hear! And I had a wonderful time spending time with all of you. I love you all so very much, and even though fatigue may have had something to do with it, I really did feel like crying sometimes just because I feel great with all of you!
Oh, the wigs!! That is priceless. What a fun trip you girls have had. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the pics Em. You are so good at blogging. It was my pleasure to have you. You are free to move here anytime. And my kids would still like you for a mom. I had so much fun and I am glad you took so many pictures since I did not have my camera with me once!
Love you :)
I'm glad you get together and have so much fun. I love the wigs too! And I'm happy to hear Ronna is expecting again. She's so brave! I ate at the Sugar Bowl last June. Yum.
