Missing him...

Today marks 7 years since I lost my Dad. He was such a great daddy and papa! He would be having a blast with all of these crazy boys. Love you Daddy.

Hiking

My abslolute favorite thing to do right now is to go hiking. This is the time of year that you really love Arizona and there is nothing like a nice and quiet morning hike. I decided to see how the boys would do and take them out yesterday afternoon. Definitely not the "quiet" of my mornings, but they loved it.

Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day was a great day of relaxing and family time. We took the boys to see the play "Peter and the Wolf" at Tempe Center for the Arts. They loved it and we really enjoyed seeing their faces light up. Darian had to work unfortunately but went out with her boyfriend later.

Our little self-portrait. I kind of like him!

Picture time during intermission.

My sweet little men.

Darian and her boyfriend Zac the night before Valentine's all dressed up for their Coronation Dance.

Buddies

I love, love, love that my kids are growing up with my friend's kids!

Build-A-Bear

Luke had his class field trip to Build-A-Bear. Here he is with his new little friend. He named him Houdini.

I've been watching my nephew Garrett a couple days a week and he went with us on the field trip. He's such a happy little guy!

Tyler's Birthday Party

Our nephew Tyler had his 3rd birthday party at Peter Piper and we had a really good time playing games and visiting with family. The boys LOVE their cousins!

Father/Son bonding time!

Luke and Haley.

Singing Happy Birthday to Tyler.

I think Haley likes the boys as much as they like her!

Me and my pretty little girl!

Grandparent's Day

Noah and Caleb's school had Grandparent's Day and Erin's parents were able to get some time off work to come out for it. Luke and I were able to join them for some fun and lunch. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get pictures of them with Noah, but he wrote them a really nice poem. We really appreciated them making it out!

Caleb showing off his reading skills!

Luke wanted in on the picture time too.

Storytime

We've started going to storytime on Friday nights with some of my great friends. It's been some fabulous visiting time for the Mommies and the kids have a lot of fun playing together. As a bonus, I think we have two of our boys married off! :)

Won't they make the most beautiful blond hair, blue-eyed babies?

Luke likes his ladies a little bit older than him. ;)
