Wild Wild West

My sister and her family (and my mom!) came for another Spring Break visit this last week and as usual, we had a BLAST! Their visit is always a mix between fun at home-running through sprinklers, board games, movie night, timed division sheets (okay, that is only normal/fun for our 1st borns Julia and Braden)- and fun in the Valley of the Sun (obvious from our slight sunburns!). We saw a Spring Training game, went to the zoo, rode bikes in South Mountain park on Silent Sunday, and went to Rawhide. Amazing Bobo (my mom) even watched all 6 kids again so the adults could go out for dinner! Yes, we packed in the fun!

We ended the long and fun day with a relaxing boat trip down the makeshift "Verde River".

Even though the house was full/loud/messy all the time (inevitable with 11 people in a small house), it's just too empty without them.... :(
Suzanne and I at our dinner out. Too bad we didn't get a picture of all 4 of us..

Camille and Will (our babies) are such cute friends! They are a wild and funny pair.

Camille likes to kiss Will...

and he likes to "kiss" back!

Our 2 sweet, free spirits- Bella and Elise!
Our 2 first borns- Julia and Braden- still connected at the hip to this day.
While rough housing in the car, Braden accidentally knocked out her remaining loose front tooth! Knowing Julia, I am pretty sure that she will never let him forget that one. :) Love you guys- come back soon!
