March Birthdays

Erin is the baker in the family, but he's been so busy that I made Noah's cake this year. I didn't do too terribly bad for hating to bake!

No more single digits for my big guy!

Erin had his last birthday in his 30's! It's alright, he still looks good!

They enjoyed Daddy's cake!

Nerd Day

Darian really gets into Spirit Week at her school. Here she is dressed up for "Nerd Day".

I found this picture of me. Try to ignore the sweet shirt and fabulous 'do and tell me if you think one of my kids looks like me as a child. I'm curious to see if other people see what I see! :)

11 Years

Happy Anniversary to us! No big trip like last year, but we did pawn the kids off on our good friends for the weekend. The weather is beautiful today, so we went out for a great morning hike and then had an awesome sushi lunch and even went out for gelato. Dinner reservations tonight and sleeping in tomorrow! Woohoo!

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.
