Easter

I know Easter was a couple of weeks ago but it's been kind of a crazy month so far. My grandma Fisher passed away April 6th and then a few days later my Uncle Marty was in a terrible car accident. Not his fault but there was a fatality and he's still in the hospital. So we decided to take a trip to California to visit family and regroup. There's nothing better for the soul then a few hours at the beach relaxing.

Easter was a lot fun. We had dinner with the Carpenter's and Kimball's your traditional ham meal topped off with a festive egg hunt. The kids had a blast, the girl's were all decked out in Indianna's dress up clothes it was cute. It's fun watching them every year get bigger and have a better understanding of the holiday. Next year will really get into the importance of Easter.

March was a busy month

March was a busy month with both Grace and Josh's birthdays. We spent a few days in California visiting family (I still need to post some pix's) at Disneyland and the beach. Joye and Roy were gracious to let us invade there home. It was beautiful weather. Chris was in Colorado visiting his family and had a great time. We of course started potty training then when I thought I didn't have enough on my plate I decided to slice the top of my left thumb off. Sounds worse than it really was but has made trying to do things with one hand difficult and exhausting. Hopefully that mends sooner than later. Now time to get ready for April, Easter, Brian's birthday and were spending the last weekend in Show Low with the Carpenter's. Which will be a great time since it's already starting to heat up to the 90's it will be great to be up in the cool air of the mountains.

Potty Training update

We started off potty training with a very long week then one day she just seemed to get it. The next week was great she went right into the bathroom without saying a word most of the time I found her cleaning out her princess potty. Then came a new week and everything was forgotten. Once again my greatest nightmare has come true. I think potty training was devised to see who could outlast who, child or parent. Hopefully this week is just a minor setback and she'll be back on track soon. I pray

Grace's 3rd Birthday

For Grace's birthday we went to the Phoenix Zoo with the Carpenter's and Greer's

Grace checking out the animals

Grace opening some of her gifts of course princess themed

Topped off the day with Minnie Mouse cupcakes, she got so excited when everyone starting singing to her.

Potty Training, UGH!!

Potty training has got to be one of the worst things to deal with as a parent. It's one skill that should be automatic no learning required. It's been along week and though Grace has made some headway she's still along way from being trained. So what I thought was going to be a very long week looks like it's going to be a very long several weeks. UGH!!!

Josh's First Birthday

Josh turned 1 on March 4th we had a small party with the Carpenter's. He wasn't to sure about the cupcake at first but slowly he got then hang of it.

Thank goodness for a new Month

February to say the least was a long month. Grace and Josh seemed to be sick the entire month. I think we only made it to church once maybe twice. They both seem to be doing better but now I haven't been feeling well this week, hoping it's just allergies. Getting ready for spring break and heading to California to see family. Chris is going to Colorado to see his family. Excited to see Courtney and Kim. The only good thing about the kids being sick we haven't been out and about much spending money on gas. Crazy how much it's increased, were suppose to drive to my parents this summer don't even want to know how much will spend. Thankfully we can stay at my grandma's which will save us a bundle. Also looking forward to that trip.

March will be a good month as long as everyone stays healthy. We started out the month with Josh's first birthday, California this coming week, Grace's third birthday on the 17th. Hunger Games comes out the 23rd same day as Courtney's birthday. End the month with Parker, Gavin and Kim's birthdays. Crazy, then all the same fun stuff in April. Looking forward to spring and getting out with the kids and doing some fun stuff.
