Christmas Break Roadtrips

While in SLC we started out the new year on a road trip two Arizona and California where Jake had two interviews. We were able to stay with Jake's sister in Phoenix and Jake's brother in Temecula (Orange County CA). It was lots of fun to escape the cold weather and visit some of Jake's family that we don't get to see very often. On the way out to Arizona we made a stop at Hoover dam. They are building a pretty amazing bridge that will cross over the canyon and make the trip a lot faster. Madison loved playing with Jesse and had lots of fun with the Pena's dog. Thanks for letting us come visit. Jake was also able to make a stop at his birthplace (the picture of Jake standing in front of the house). A few of the old neighbors came out to say hello and take a look at the little curly haired blonde boy who was now very very big. It was amazing they recognized him! They were even prepared with cookies for Jake since going over to get one was one of his favorite things to do.
