Spring is here

Get ready for a long one!  I don't post as often as I'd like so the most recent pictures are all coming at once.  You might have to scroll through a few pages to see it all. We have been enjoying a busy spring and loving the beautiful weather.  Here are a few of the highlights we wanted to share.

Cameron has recently started playing with legos.  He got a set for Christmas and really enjoys building cars and helicopters with his daddy.


Micah has started brushing his own teeth. We bought him a little toothbrush with a light so he can brush till the light goes off.  He has become very independent these past few months.  Gotta keep up with big bro and sis!
We celebrated valentine's day with a special family dinner.  The boys made a card for Mia and me and decorated them themselves.  Cameron even wrote me a little note himself!  He is getting so big (I can't believe he is old enough to do that now!!!) Mia also wrote a note to her brothers and her daddy.  We exchanged card and the kids got a few treats from their daddy and me after dinner.  Drew loved the chocolate as you can see below.

We were so blessed to celebrate my mom/nana's 75th birthday a few weeks ago.  We had a full weekend of activity and even Tami came out for a surprise visit.  The sisters got to have a day out before all the celebration began. So fun for us since we are spread across the country!
The family had a birthday breakfast at Marie Calendar's and Tami dressed up as a waitress and kept delivering water and napkins until my mom noticed.  We were all laughing hysterically at the table as Tami walked around in disguise. Finally she had to take off the wig and kiss my mom on the cheek to reveal herself. :-D
Cameron had his first "big boy" (mom didn't stay) play date recently with a few church friends and had a great time! 

More church buddies!
For mom's birthday, we also went to Apache Junction for a very rainy, wet, cold, but fun day.  The kids loved drinking hot chocolate and playing in the freezing rain.
 Sweet Nan and Pops
Cameron loved to explore the wet desert with his Papa
 Michael and Braden...always hungry :-D
After going to the Grand Ol' Opry and heading home, the kids were just a little tired.
Mia and Abi love to play dress up.  They went all out for this particular fashion show!
Maybe they were going for... Princess Eclectic
 Mia enjoyed her Ballerina class this term and I got to see her final performance last month. She was so cute!

Cam and his buds from rodeo day at NCS

He said he was a "bad sheriff cowboy"

 Good buds!
The kids love Disney's Imagination Movers and their concert came on TV the other night.  We just HAD to watch...then we just HAD to dance...then just HAD to move the coffee table to have more room.  The pictures say the rest!
