April 2016

I am, as always it seems, playing another round of catch up on our family blog. The last 9-10 months have been a whirlwind at times. Everything with moving and being so temporary, combined with having major internet issues, I just haven't kept up as I had imagined so I'm looking back through my planner/calendar and I'm going to write down some of things we did. Probably not in much detail but at least we'll remember we did some things :) 

So in April 2016:

-I went to Courtney's baby shower (Rick's cousin). 

- We had park days with our neighborhood on Thursdays

-Went to Town Center Lake

-My cousin, Jeralyn, came to visit us

-Went to the zoo with my cousin, Camille.

-Had a fun time at the splash pad in Queen Creek. I miss that you can go to the splash pad in April and have it be hot! 

-Babysit for the Davison's (Jack and Thomas). We did a babysit swap that month so we could take turns going out on dates!

-Took the kids to the dentist. They loved it!

-Went to a baby shower for my friend, Iris Thulin.

And here are some pictures from April to add to the post:

We have gone on soooo many afternoon walks!
Brenna loves the stroller and being outside.

Park day fun!

He has a new-found love of peeing in the
backyard, haha!

He loves his tractor so much that he has been
sleeping with it every night for quite a while now.
I feel like it takes up more of his bed than he does!

Olivia always likes doing mohawk hair on
Brenna, so we sent her this picture.

His unique entertainment while I'm packing... haha

Kimbri has been watching piano lesson videos
on the iPad. She is learning "Hot Cross Buns"

The jacket my dad brought back for me from
Hong Kong, I think, when I was a little girl.

Garrett was so excited to ride the dragon on the carousel
at Kids Club at the mall. You get a free ride on Thursdays!

Every year I wonder how this weather
is even possible in the spring. That's
Arizona for you!

Sisters!

Trips to the dentist! Kimbri went first :)

And Garrett was brave enough once
 he saw Kimbri do it.

Their "nest" they made, which included about
every toy and blanket in their room.... ha!

Iris Thulin's baby shower at Joe's Farm Grill.

Another sleeping picture with his truck, haha.

Brenna snuggles

These jammies used to be pink... then I accidentally washed them with something black. Oops!

Daddy daughter snuggles.

Watching a movie with snacks while mommy packs. I promise
Garrett has undies on... ha! He has been on this kick lately where
he only will wear undies or his swimsuit around the house.

Brenna is starting to roll all over the place.

Brenna really is such a HAPPY baby. It's unreal.

We usually stop by the fish tanks when we go
to Walmart because Garrett LOVES looking at them.

He also loves putting pennies down the machine
by the checkout.

A beautiful day for a jog around our neighborhood.

Like I mentioned before, Brenna loves going
on walks/jogs. She's so content.

Garrett loves filling up the sink to make a "pond"
where he'll play with his toys. He loves it!

My kids have always loved baths... and Brenna is
no exception. She loves them too! 

Silly hair style after bath time.

The kids REALLY wanted to use the umbrellas
outside in the rain after we got home from church.

I unintentionally dressed the kids in matching
colors so a picture was in order!

Kimbri being such a big helper to feed Brenna some snacks.
