Am I still in Arizona? No, it's Mexico.

Oh Mexico. The place with dirty beaches, dirty food, and dirty people. How can you not love it?

As the Mexicans would say, Buen Viaje! Which of course means, Welcome!

I had a great time relaxing in the sun. I was finding sand in my pants for days!

Just chillin in the water. Sometimes a big wave will sneak up on you, you better watch out or it'll get you!

Banana boats, boogie boards, making new friends. You can never go wrong in Mexico! Oh unless you flip an illegal u-turn and get arrested and thrown in a Mexican jail. Or if you attract hepatitis from the delicious dog tacos. Or if you...well you get it.


And of course my favorite person ever...


What a fun trip! Where will I go next?????

Flastaff, AZ

... just watching Mike graduate. Yes that is a tear in my eye!

GnomeLove.

We're dubbing H.O.P. a girl...either that or he's g-a-y cuz he & Mickey got caught in the act!

Salt Lake City, UT

So I took my first out-of-state trip to the great land of Utah. How exciting. I snuck into Kerri's backpack when she wasn't looking. I am very tricky.

We flew Delta. I don't recommend it, they aren't that great. So what if that isn't a Delta plane?


Buckle up everyone. Safety first.


My homeboy Carlos. He gave me an extra bag of peanuts, yeah that's right.


Cruisin around town.


We stayed with some girl Natalie. She had a bunch of lovely young ladies for me to hang out with for the weekend.


We took a trip to Temple Square. Here I am praying at the Temple.


I was blessed enough to receive the Melchizedek from none other than P, J, & J themselves. What an experience.


Just chillin in the trees outside of the Temple. It's a beautiful day.


Then it was time to head back to the airport to catch our flight back to AZ.


It was a short but fun trip. I am looking forward to more adventures with this crazy family. But, as of now I am the nameless gnome, and that just cannot be. Please help!
