Arizona-2012!!!!


















We had our annual trip to Arizona this year to get out of the cold!! And of course to visit my mom and dad who we are missing SOOOO much!!!!:( This year Kevin,Ash,and the kids came to,so it really was a Button family reunion!!!:))) It's always nice when the cousins get to spend some fun time together to! We decided to all stay in Phoenix/Scottsdale this year at the Pointe Hilton Resort at Squaw Peak(for anyone that has kiddos I HIGHLY recommend this hotel!!!)......and as for myself I suggest it because the Scottsdale Fashion Square is only 20min. away,BEST shopping EVER!!! ;)))My parents drove up from Yuma to stay w us:)The trip started out fabulous!,the kids were SO excited to see my parents! The weather was amazing the whole time to! The resort has an amazing swimming complex,w a few pools,a kids pool,a huge waterslide(that all the kids went down by themselves on!)a lazy river,some great food and nice suites! Great location and of course Trav loved that we had a Trader Joe's close by:) (me to!)Our second day there,poor Luke started getting redder and redder,and I KNEW it wasn't sunburned red,The rest of us are dark skinned so we never wear much sunscreen(I know,not good);) even though luke is fairer he tans really well,so I got scared,my mom and I had covered him in some foam sunscreen,and were pretty sure he was having an allergic reaction to it,by Sat, night I was getting scared,he looked terrible,his face was SO swollen and his eyes were swelling shut,I felt so bad and helpless for him:( He finally fell asleep and woke up about 3am to throw up,I'd never seen anything like it,his skin was all red and dry and I knew it itched the poor guy,he couldn't see,Trav called and found out how close we were to the childrens hospital. we were getting ready to take him,and he SO didn't want to go,he said he needed to sleep. We talked to a Dr. over the phone who said to give him benadryl and put hydrocortisone cream on him,and a cool bath. We did all of this and he fell asleep.Me and Trav of course stayed up all night watching him sleep,to make sure he was breathing and stuff,I was in total panic mode!The next morning it hadn't gotten any worse so we felt like that was good at least,but he was so tired and couldn't go out in the sun or water,so he stayed in bed w Grammie all day,(which Grandma of course loved);) Once I knew he was getting better,me and my little shopping partner in crime (Mia),escaped to Scottsdale for some shopping,they have a HUGE Disney store,so I bought Luke a whole bunch of treats to bring back to him,I think it made me feel better to buy him stuff so he'd be happy!haha! He was back in the water 2 days later,and everything was fine! From now on Luke will be wearing ONLY sensitive skin,all natural sunscreen!!!!:) Aside from Luke's allergic reaction we had a great time,so fun to all get to spend some time together, and get Travis and Kevin to leave work and enjoy life a little to!;) ha! Wish we could have stayed longer,and we're missing my parents already! Can't wait till they get home in April!Thanks again mom and dad for taking such good care of us all while we were there,you guys are the very best!!!!:)))(and as always my pics are in random order,and some are on there twice cause I can't remember how to delete them after their downloaded on here!)Enjoy!;)
