Easter weekend

Happy Easter!

We had a blast at the Easter egg hunt at the Smith's in their orchard. It was a True HUNT!!

Tractor rides!

Yesterday we headed to Scottsdale and as we were walking through Sephora they asked if they could give he girls bunny make up! So cute!!

Then we headed to Scottsdale and the kids got to play in the stream

And we had lunch here:    Amazing!!

We went to Chandlers aquatic center on Friday. Such a great pool!

Gymnastics is wrapping up and the girls are growing SO much! Reese is working on her cartwheel and Kylie is getting her back handspring! So proud!!

He has been sleeping during gymnastics the past 2 weeks  and it is so super duper precious.

New tradition

So this year my mom sent me this book. It has been amazing and for sure our new family tradition. The book is great because it leads you through each person in the nativity for 7 weeks and as you talk about each person you are building your nativity set, so the 1st week we talked about Mary and placed her on the nativity and each week we add one more figurine. It has given us great ideas on serving, bearing testimony and enjoying this much antisipated holiday season. After each FHE we get out my old adidas shoe box that I've had since I was a little girl and carfully unwrap each figurine trying to find the statue we had just talked about. The girls get so excited and hope to find it. Every week Reese has found it and finally this week Kylie got it!! Now we almost have our nativity built! 

 

 And I pretty much had to throw in this adorable picture.

1st grade and Flow Rider

There is a flow rider in Mesa that we love to go to. Conrad would put one in our backyard if he could!

 

 Kylie is still a little fish and will jump off the high dive! She is fearless.

 She is in 1st grade now. She really likes her teacher and is adjusting to the new school really well.

 It was so hard to drop her off knowing she would be there ALL day!!!

 We had our traditional 1st day of school afterschool creep snack. Reese pretty much just eats the nutella:)
