Pile up on Daddy! Who knows where Courtney was during this! And Ty for that matter

3 year old Maddi. She's growing up before our eyes!

Aiden joining in on the fun. Annika to his right. Aiden says, "I like her face".

Maddi's 7th birthday party. She had some friends over for a pool party. There were water balloons and games. Nacho always escaping the kennel to join in on the fun.

Maddi and Courtney trying to stay warm!

Ty working his toe side turn. I had to buy the kids neck warmers because of the winter snow conditions.

Aiden just 4 years old already skiing down the hill and riding the chair lifts! Is he cute or what?!

Our February ski trip to Dodge Ridge. Up until 2 weeks before our trip we didn't know if there was going to be enough snow, but the week before our trip there were a series of snow storms. There was more powder than we've ever had at Dodge. It was incredible! Rob had to dig our car out of the snow on one of our mornings. He thought he was going to have a heart attack.

Maddi with Minnie on our quick trip for Courtney's Cheer Nationals.

The face of Pumba!

Pumba and his best friend Timon "Brianne"

Brandon and Ty were in the school play, The Lion King. Bradon played Pumba and Ty was in the ansemble. We are all very proud of their performances. Thank you to all the family who traveled far distances to see them perform!

...back in Arizona, Aiden is on an animal at the park

"Fire and Ice" rocks really hard. This is the band that you should all want to see if you get a chance. They really know how to rock!

Easter!

I forgot to take the lunch that I so painstakingly made before leaving the house so we found this little shack where they made a delicious selection of burritos, and Courtney's fav: chicken fingers.

The outside of the cave.

Here's Maddi in the Cave!

Amanda found adventures for us to do everyday. This is "Old Baldie" at Colossol Cave. This cave is famous for a couple of old flicks. One of them being a Big Bird movie, if you're lucky you probably didn't see it.

Spring Break : Arizona, to visit Tyler, Amanda, Lilian, and the new little addition Nora. It was quite an adventure! Thank you to grandma for going on the long drive with the very noisy children. ....And of course thank you to Tyler and Amanda for putting up with the very noisy children. We know how noise can be very distressing for you. :)
