The weather was so exceptionally nice this year, I almost forgot the change between winter and spring. Our heat wave hasn't hit yet so we are definitely enjoying some outside time before we're tucked away for the summer.
April has been jammed packed with travels and fun, and while typing this we still have a week left!!
Here are some pictures of all the fun!

ILLINOIS!!!
We headed back for a super quick trip to celebrate Harper's First Birthday and Mary, Joseph & Claudia's Baptisms
Gotta love dress up/snuggle time with Nonnie
You're never too old to snuggle with your Momma
Meeting Joseph Michael. So beautiful in every way. Our babies get cuter and cuter. Of course he sleeps for everyone, but his Momma ;)
Happy 1st Birthday Harper!!!
Abby & Michael threw the cutest little Spring b-day bash for Miss Harps and we were thrilled we got to be a part of her big day. She was as cute and sassy as ever!! Thanks again for making sure we got to be there guys!!
God is Good People
We were honored to be a part of this special day, too. Larry was little Miss Mary's Godfather and I got to be Claudia's Godmother. Such a beautiful honor!! Thank you for including us guys!!
I am now officially Godmother to THREE beautiful babes and I share this great responsibility with THEE GODFATHER himself, Mr. B-Rye Hennessey (he has more, but we share three) :)
We love you Sammy T, Tunes Magoons, and Claudie Girl
(ps. Kathryn & Claudia share a birthday , too! Cute right?)
Nonnie & Poppo with their eleven under seven ;)
Headed back to AZ with brother by my side
Nothing like settling back into the good ol' AZ life (it was cold in IL) with a nice water table soak and some naked art :)

Sprinkler Time!!
Grandpa :)
He's officially moved in as of the middle of April and the transition has been amazing. We all love having him here and appreciate all he does for us each and every day!! (ask me the last time I did a dish??)
Our Little Fish
L and Evan started swim lessons a few weeks ago and they are making some great improvements. They're both still pretty apprehensive in our big community pool, but improving all the time!!
Daddy's Back!
Larry was in UAE for work for a couple weeks. We're all happy to have him back!
Egg Time
Look What the Bunny Brought!

Super Brothers!!
Leave it to Annie to send the cutest little hand-made capes and masks to the boys! They're made right in daddy's home town, Morton, Illinois!

Swim Lessons: a quick peek of one of Lawrence's lessons.
He was up on his instructor's shoulder only a few weeks ago and now floats almost independently. Big step for our cautious little guy :)
