Easter

 Easter Egg Hunt

Started Easter off right by attending the Hawes Ward Easter Egg Hunt and Breakfast.  Grandma Phyllis was down from UT visiting us, but in my sleepy state ( worked until 2am) I forgot to take a picture of Grandma.

Jacob and Tyler decided they were too old to get eggs, but apparently not too old to help their younger brothers eat the candy from the eggs!

Baseball Season

Baseball season is in full swing.  Aaron and Jared are on a t-ball team together and Jacob and Tyler are on a kid pitch team together.

Found the Camera Cord!

 Jumping on the new trampoline.  I don't know when we took these but it must have been close to when we built the tramp.  I think sometime in January.

 Jacob earned some more awards in scouts.

 Aaron found my outback hat and thought he looked pretty cool in it...

 Jared's preschool had a field trip to the Riparian Preserve on Guadalupe Rd and Greenfield.  We fed ducks, took a nature walk and dug in the sand for dinosaurs.

Bulldog Canyon

March 23-24th Jacob went with our Hawes Ward Scout Troop to Bulldog Canyon in the Superstition Mountains. These are pictures from the hike. They are not in order...but at least I got them here! Special Thanks to great Scout Leaders who take the boys on these fun adventures!

Jacob and Cameron I believe this is on the ride home...

Thanks again to our Scout Leaders!

Finally some pictures....

I finally got some pictures off my phone..... So I'm going to try to catch up, working backwards from today.

These first bunch of pictures are from Saturday, March 24th. We attended the Mesa Police Family Appreciation Day. It was held at the Training facility. Jacob was still on his scout camp out but the rest of us went and enjoyed free food and tons of fun booths and exhibits. Including 3 different bounce houses and a petting animals area. The boys had a great time getting into all the military trucks, police helicopter, air evac heli, ambulance and communications command vans. Joe and boys got to meet some of my co-workers as well. It was a fun time that we hope to attend each year.

Tyler's turn

Pinewood Derby was also on Saturday, March 24th....

This was Tyler's last year. Unfortunately he came in 2nd to last. Not our best year.

P.S. we have more pictures on the other camera....I'll work on getting them off there.

Before Spring Break I took Jacob, Tyler and Jared (Aaron wasn't feeling well) to the Mesa Gateway Airport Aviation Day. Totally cool! So many airplanes.

This is one of my favorite pictures. I didn't even pose them!

Here is Tyler's choir concert in February...
