For Spring Break, we took the kids to Arizona. We had a great time!
Pedal Boat Rides on Grandma and Pabo’s Lake are a highlight of every day.
Fishing with Pabo.
Calla caught one!!!
Nice desert sunset.
Riding the carousel with Grandma.
I can’t believe how big this girl is getting!
Calla loved that all the flowers were in bloom!
Ready to Sing! They both did a great job. It’s amazing how much more outgoing Calla has become through choir!
What in the world? Right before the concert started, Calla pulled this face.
Last day for Calla.
Congrats!
Cute Graduate!
Good work, Hadden!
This year, we gave the kids one of our planter boxes off our patio for their own garden. They want to try selling at our local farmer’s market a few times, which means they have to do all the work themselves. They are trying mixed color carrots, spinach, and beans. I love teaching them where their food comes from and how to cultivate their plants. The rewards are great! They planted the last week in March, so we will give some growing updates later on.
Prepping the dirt.

Giving it a drink.
Chris gets the dad of the year award—for many reasons—but mostly for coaching both kids soccer teams this year. Both kids had tons of fun and even scored a few goals!
Team Cheer!
Sittin’ this one out.
Follow the ball.
Goal Kick!
Positions on the field are not really what goes on here…
I love how Hadden looks so competitive in this shot.
Go Team!
Spring Soccer is really about enduring the weather.
Calla played indoor soccer. Which way are we going?
Her neighbor buddy, Kate
RUN!
Hadden entertained himself in many ways…
Learning to stop the ball.
Got it!
Goal!
Silly Calla.
Such a cutie!
Stuck in the corner (it happens a lot!)
Big kicks, Kate.
Fun Team! Kate’s mom also helped coach. Calla had a blast, and we had a great time watching the kids try to figure out what was going on!
I love how this picture shows that we’ve only been up for 5 minutes!
Happy with his book.
Hunting for Eggs
Showing off her loot.
This is the first time we’ve been home for Easter in 2 years. It was nice to enjoy it in our PJs and to go to church and have the kids focus on the true meaning of Easter.
I do, love, love, love my iphone! Here are some recent, random happenings caught by the phone camera:
Calla and her “having some blanket.” She is clearly “having some” in this picture. We are pretty sure she is going to have to go off to college with this blanket!
Toothless! Even though it’s March, he’s been singing, “All I Want for Christmas.”
Visiting with cousins and holding, “a real, live baby!”
Making bread. Very exciting.
Making our children pose for advertising shots…just kidding! She really does just LOVE to make bread, or stand at the counter and “help” with just about anything going on in the kitchen! She came up with this pose entirely of her own doing, I swear.
More toothless cousins.
Cutie!
Dad, would you mind having your birthday twice a year, so we have an excuse to eat German Chocolate Cake more? So yummy!
Visiting the library and enjoying a good read!
