The Grand Canyon

 Back in January, we finally made it to the Grand Canyon. It has been on our Arizona "to do" list since we moved here, so when Lance got a weekend free of call we took off. It was FREEZING, but oh so worth it. 






























February and March Happenings

February and March passed by with a blur. 

Lucy's hair was finally long enough for pigtails. A notable milestone. 



gas prices went lower than they have in a looong time

 we did everyday chores...
 ...and someone at church dropped by huge bins of grapefruits in the parking lot for everyone. There were thousands. Arizona citrus is unreal. 




 We enjoyed springtime blossoms...

...and springtime sprinkler repair.

We made it to church on time and eventually Evelyn lost all four of her front teeth on the top - adding some gums to this gummy smile :)

 Lucy and Blake are so sweet together. She thinks everything he does is amazing. 

We are the only cousins that live far away, so we sent some "I love you" valentines for Valentine's Day. 

 And since Lance was not on call, we went to a Valentine's Day breakfast at Kneaders


 We tried Valentine's hairstyles, and made Valentine's Day pizza



 Blake can turn anything into a sword - including train tracks

Evelyn went to "8 is Great" Night to prepare her for getting baptized in a few months

 It rained...which is always exciting here in the desert

And Lucy LOVES her baby dolls - she is constantly carrying babies around the house

 Blake got registered for Kindergarten!


 Lance ran a marathon, and the kids ran a 1k afterward
