What do you do...

...when it is 3:00 pm, dinner for dinner swap needs to be made, Maya needs help getting ready for gymnastics, baby J wants to be held CONSTANTLY by ME and only ME and Devin is fussy?

Strap J on and hold Devin in one arm, all while getting Maya in gymnastics attire and working on dinner.

Mission accomplished!

Nana

Jeremy's Nana passed away last week. She had suffered from multiple strokes over the last several years and was ready to go home and be reunited with her sweetheart. We traveled to California for her funeral. It was a beautiful service and reminded us to focus on all of our happy memories with her. While in Cali, we also took some time to play at the hotel pool and head to the beach. It was a quick, but meaningful trip!

We were even able to snap a family photo!

Snow, Snow, Snow!

These Two

They are so creative together and always coming up with some new invention or adventure to go on. I love to hear them interact. Maya is such the little mother and Kenyon loves to torment her.






It is Spring Break here in the land of 80 degree weather. Loving the weather, the park, and no school to get ready for. Later in the week we are headed up north to find some snow. Snow in Arizona is hard to come by so wish us luck. Actually, pray for us to not completely lose our minds while baby J screams the entire 3 hours there. That girl does not like the car!

Trip Down Under

Several weeks back we ventured down south to visit the snowbirding grandparents outside of Yuma. Here are some highlights:

Watching grandma falling in love with Devin - who wouldn't?! :)

Going on walks along the ditch

And climbing in the ditch


Devin enjoyed the walk

Throwing dirt and rocks and Mom allowed it!

And of course, lots of citrus pickin'

Can you find Jeremy?

More dirt!

And grandpa just observed it all

Then we brought home the tangelos and made juice - a family project!

Not pictured - attending the ice cream social at the social hall. Seriously, why didn't I have all of the seniors gather around for a pic. These have got to be some of the same seniors that criticize my parenting every time I visit Walmart or Costco and there we were socializing with them. Classic!

Thanks for hosting us Grandma and Grandpa!

Forever Family

It's Final!

Devin is stuck with us!

I love this girl!

A friend who taught Maya in nursery class at church recently took some pics for a school project and they turned out fabulous! Maya loves her and it looks like they had a blast. Thanks Lisa Marie for capturing her personality in every shot!
