Lucky you, I lived in Arizona for 10 years and never saw a single toad! Maybe the valley was too hot and dry for them. But looks like you've got some little spadefoot toads! You can tell by their distinctive vertical diamond shaped pupils, whereas most other toads have horizontal oval shaped pupils. I'm not sure of the exact species, but since you're in Arizona, they're likely either Couch's or Western spadefoots. Not sure about the darker tadpole to the right though, unless they gain lighter coloring as they morph into toads.
