Spring Break 2014

Playing with Grandpa in the pool

Eating lunch at Johnny Rockets. Small world , we ran into my distant cousin, Michelle Rychnovsky and her family (and she has a daughter in Stella's grade at SFA!, which is another small world coindence). 

We spent many hours in the pool!

Mike and Steve hanging in the Man Cave!

Checked out the Butterfly Gardens one morning.  

Stella turned 9 in Arizona!

We hiked Camelback on Stella's birthday with my cousin Amy and her 2 boys, Garrett and Connor, and another cousin of mine, Alison. 

Uncle Chris referring a game of air hockey. 

The kids could NOT get enough of Aunt Kim and Uncle Chris!

Stella blowing out her candles. 

Enjoying ice cream the next day. 

Mike and Linda went golfing one afternoon. I asked them to take a selfie! Turned out great!

Linda at dinner one night!

Kids shot a "gun" (BB gun) for the first time and loved it!

Heading out for din-din on our last night.

Stella was tuckered out on our way home today. Monday morning will be super fun....NOT!!!

Last few weeks

Stella took a "selfie" (her first, I think!). Love it! Such a pretty girl! 

S qualified for 3 events at the state swim meet. So very proud of her hard work. She's a great little swimmer, but she did not enjoy her swim team experience so swim team days are behind us, unless P wants to try it out!

Having a sleepover with a bestie. They told me they were acting like gorillas! Ha!

We let S out of school 2 hours early a couple of Fridays ago, to cheer on Dowling! They ended up becoming State Champs! Here's Stella and Ally cheering them on with cotton candy on their noses!

I'm loving Hannah and I's time volunteering at the ARL! She's so good with the kitties!

Came home one day to find Mike cleaning out his car. Good thing I was sitting down! I've never ever seen him do that before!!!

P requested "boxer briefs" recently! Love this boy! And his briefs! Ha! :-)

Had our fabulous friends spend last weekend with us! So blessed to have the Kohls fam in our lives. Daddy Kohls and Baby Kohls pictured here. :-)
