End of School Activities

Zhara's school had a mother/daughter pj party at school. We had dinner of hot dogs (Zhara's favorite) Zhara & her best friend Faith

They had a nail painting table & since our rule is you have to be 8 to paint.....she painted mine hand 1


hand 2

we had smores....it was so much fun. I can't wait until both girls are with me next year

Alyssa had a water day at school. She came home covered in sand but here she is before she left

Zhara had field day where they did all kind of water activities. I helped with a cup stacking booth. It was really hot & fun with the water until the clouds & the wind came...



Then they all got cold




The firetruck usually comes & sprays the kids at the end but it was out on a call but I think the kids enjoyed the hose just as wellZhara had a field trip to Brandy Fenton Splash park & her friend Roxanna & her had the same swimsuit


Alyssa & I were able to join them



Alyssa & Riley


All the girls from Zhara's class claimed the rock

Trip to Colorado

We were able to visit Colorado Springs in order to do some work on our home out there before our new renters moved in. It was nice to see my house & wonderful friends & family. The girls were excited to be back & apparently Haleigh felt right at home as she fell asleep on the floor in front of the fire place just like Zhara & Alyssa used toSue finally got to meet her!!!!

It was so wonderful to see the Larsens



The girls enjoyed spending some time with their cousins





They were very intrigued by Cyan & Olivia's chickens but were a little bit afraid of them. They did enjoy feeding them bread from a safe distance

I was excited to see snow before we left


I love Colorado & I miss it there & all my friends but I am thankful for the way the Spirit tells me that we are where we are supposed to be....in hot ugly Arizona :)

It's Baseball Time

David's boss knows how much he loves the Rockies and so we got the Farmers tickets to the Diamondbacks vs. the Rockies. The girls were excited to walk on the bridge over the train tracks on our way to the stadium Apparently Haleigh stinks :)

She is a Rockies fan despite the red onesie she is wearing!

Weird giant bobble heads singing "take me out to the ballgame"





While the girls were with Grandma & Grandpa David & I were able to meet up with our friends the Roberts in Sedona for dinner.

Haleigh waved as we hit a few golf balls

My dearest friend Carrie went through the temple for the very first time. I am so proud of her!My allergies are ridiculous.....this crazy amount of pollen in our parking lot might be the reason

Easter

Getting ready for EasterWhy not have a practice run? Why not have like 15 practice runsAlyssa had an Easter party for preschool where they had "worms" for a snack



They painted rocks for the rock garden

Planted flowers



The girls spent a few days of Easter break at my parents house & they had an Easter party at the library

Make a run for it Lys!

Zhara you won't get many eggs that way





Easter weekend was spent at Aunt Aimee's. Apparently my Easter egg dying pictures disappeared but this is Alyssa's eggs

Almost 3 months old Aimee finally tricked Glenn into holding Haleigh...and decided it wasn't so bad

You don't have to trick Grandpa to hold her

The Easter bunny came

The clan making their way to find the eggs









I thought this picture of us all peeling eggs was funny & by our faces we must have been concentrating very hardWe enjoyed the nice weather with a little bit of Boccie ballThen we ended with a trip to Aimee's clinic for a little fun on the swingsGrandma on the ball.......And Grandma off the ball
