March 2016


Noah getting ready to dress a goat with a missionary - at Lehi Days

We had fun watching Noah play after-school basketball during February and March. He is so good!


Field Day!




Noah did awesome at field day. Besides the participation ribbon, he received 2nd and 3rd place ribbons in the long jump, high jump, hurdles, and the baseball throw.

Celebrating Russ's birthday... Noah made him breakfast and the kids gave him some presents... including his favorite circus animal cookies!

Ellie and Russ share a birthday which fell during Spring Break, so Noah got to attend a "hang out" for her birthday while Abby and I took cake to Russ's work.

The night of Russ's birthday, we went shopping at Superstition Springs Mall, so Noah took Abby on the carousel while we were there. He's such a great brother :)

During Spring Break, Grandma Vicki took these kids to see Zootopia! Such a fun grandma.

Auburn and I took these kids to the zoo during one day of Spring Break. We of course had the most fun watching the Orangutans but I didn't get any pictures of Noah with them.




Noah went on his first scouting campout to camp Geronimo, as an 11-year old scout. Russ went with him and they had a lot of fun!

Abby was pouting in the car - I didn't even know why - but I had to snap some pictures because her face was so hilarious!
 
Russ and I went on a date and left Abby home with Noah as the babysitter - the first time we've ever done that for an extended period of time. It was extra risky since we went to the temple and can't be reached when we're in there. We came home after 4 hours and the house was clean, Abby was in her pajamas, and both kids were safely asleep. I was so happy and proud of Noah!

Easter morning

Before church on Easter
 


After church, we had a little Easter egg hunt at our house. Noah hid eggs in the backyard for Abby, and Russ and I hid eggs inside the house for Noah.



February 2016

This is what a typical Sunday night looks like after dinner at Grandma and Poppy's house.






Abby loves to spot "city school bus"es on the road (city buses)... so one night we decided to go for a ride on one. We actually did the light rail instead of just the plain city bus. We rode it to Mill Avenue where we walked around and found some dinner.


Both Suzanne and Scott participated in the Phoenix half marathon, so we cheered them on... here is Suzanne approaching us!


Here comes Scott in the orange shirt!



After the race was over we collected freebies at the finish line :)

Noah finished up his winter basketball season - his team lost only once all season! Here is his team with Scott Graff and Jake Stoddard as the coaches.
