Emailing the Easter Bunny

In case you didn't know, you can email the Easter Bunny and he will come early.

We had a fun egg hunt at Barbie's house the day before we left.



Here's my hubby. We were married on Good Friday. So Easter reminds me of our marriage no matter when it comes.

Chihuly

While we were in Phoenix there happened to be a Chahuly show at the Desert Botanical garden near my parents house. We met up with a friend from my high school years. It was nice to see Barbara again.

The glass mixed in with the cacti was amazing to see.


This was my favorite piece of artwork. It was much more stunning in person.

The garden also had a butterfly tent that we were able to experience.

When we weren't swimming

The boys were working in the alley. My dad is putting in a wall of dirt to catch water from the irrigation to water the orange tree hedge.

My dad rented this tractor to move dirt.

Here is dad hard at work!

While the boys were working the girls were getting their nails done. Well, I did not go, but Kira, Kate, Olivia, Val, Barbie and Mimi went.


The Wilsons hike Camelback Mountain a few times. I wanted to go, but it is still hard to get away from my babies.

Spring Break

We spent Spring Break in Phoenix. The Wilsons were there to enjoy the sun with us!

We had to go swimming every day. The kids had SO much fun. They feel very comfortable in the water. When we go back in the summer I am going to sign the kids up for swim lessons.



I am so grateful to Kate for helping me with my kids. She spent many hours in the pool with Chloë.

The hammock was also a big hit. After exhausting themselves in the pool, the kids would relax in the hammock.

Thirty Something

Daniel and Tom (Mandy's husband, Miles' dad) both turned 31 and 32. On the 16th.
We decided to have a trampoline party.


Everyone had a great time!

I am grateful for all the fun friends we have!

Daniel and Andrea's birthday dinner

It is that time of year. Birthdays are beginning.
Andrea and Daniel had their birthdays last week.

Here is Chloë with the birthday girl!

Happy birthday Daniel. Lula still has her big eyes, but she is growing into them.

Here is Uncle David. He will be staying with us until he has some money saved up to take care of himself in Oregon.

On Daniel's birthday we had doughnuts! YUMMY!

Well, we really did it this time!!

We drove two cars to church and came home at different times(not a big deal,right). As I pulled into the driveway a friend called me. She said she saw Chloë walking up and down the hall by the primary room(big deal, right). So I turned around and went back to church to pick up my girl.

Hopefully, she will not remember this! We love you Chloë.

What we do on Saturday

I made one of Sam's friend a tutu for her birthday.
Chloë was trying it on for me.


While I was sewing the kids helped clean up the house.

sleep my little babies

You would think that at 10:30pm Sam would be asleep in his bed. . . wrong.
For a split second I felt the panic. Then I looked in the bathroom. I have found him sleeping in the bathroom a few times. But he was not there. I looked at Daniel looked. He just smiled. So I looked in the crib...

He was sleeping in with Lula! Cute babies!!
