River Walk

We love Spring.

The Stare

There I was, minding my own business and building Legos with Dash, when I look up and see this.

Its unnerving.  What do you want?!

Aw, youre so cute though, little kitty boy.

Miss Molly's Birthday

We left Phoenix and drove to St. George to see my brother and his cute family.  It was good timing that it was Molly's birthday.  She turned 3!

We stopped at this rest stop for a potty break.  Someone had apparently put it in drive instead of reverse here so the kids made some fun with it.

They look little but they can pack a punch!

Oh Alaina, thats how to use your head :)

Daniel and Amy are selling their house and had a showing so we went out to celebrate Molly's birthday.  She got sang to and shared a sundae with her sisters and cousins.

It was fun to be with this cute girl for her birthday,

Swim!

While we were at my Aunt and uncle's house, the pool was beckoning my children.  They had to get in eventually.

With life jackets since I almost lost my Caylee in this pool a few years ago.

They are my water babies!

And, Id like to point out, it was snowing like mad crazy in Reno :)

Easter Sunday

Happy Easter!

After going to a random ward at 8 am, we headed over to GG's complex for a family brunch they were having.  It was awesome.  There was a lot of good food and a lot of loved family.

There is a soft served ice cream machine in the kitchen here at my Grandma's complex.  Dash had picked a dessert and ate it up.  They were allowed to pick one yummy thing.  Sue picked the ice cream and not long after Dash was asking me for some ice cream.  I told him no since he had already had his dessert.  Well, a few minutes later Dash comes walking up to me with an ice cream cone!  what the heck boy!  Come to find out some nice person saw him eying the ice cream machine and gave him an ice cream cone.  And because Dash had two desserts everyone else got ice cream too.  Gotta love senior living places!

After brunch we went back to Aunt Jean and Uncle Brady's house and hung out with the family for the rest of the day.  It was great to see all these people I love that I don't get to see very often.  We had some mother in law daughter in law drama but whats a family gathering without some drama?

Another fun story.  We pull up to the hotel the kids and I are staying for a couple nights and there are HUNDREDS of motorcycles and bikers standing around everywhere.  They filled the parking lot.  They were guarding all the entrances and driveways.  It was seriously freaky.  especially when I got a glimpse of the vests, Mongols.  MONGOLS!  I was trying hard not to freak out in front of the kids, I didn't want them to be scared.  I know not all bikers are bad scary mean men, but when they are all together in a gang, its a little unnerving.  But they opened the door for me and made jokes with the kids and were fine.  They were loud and smoking lots of things, but they caused us no harm.  Good times!

Egg Hunt and Dying Eggs in Litchfield Park

I felt strongly about spending Easter with GG this year.  So we drove down to Phoenix with  my parents stuffed in the van.  We got there Saturday afternoon and went to see GG.  She lives in a really nice assisted living complex.  Everyone was so nice and happy to see the kids.  A lady even handed them a ton of candy just for being there!  We headed over to Aunt Jean and Uncle Brady's house for dinner.  We did an easter egg hunt with the kids and they dyed eggs with Cousin Susie.

Best day ever.
