March is always one of our favorite months because we have 3 birthdays to celebrate! This month was a fun one - lots of treats, going out to eat, fun activities, Easter, etc.
Avery & me before sacrament meeting one Sunday.
And Griffy all dressed up and handsome for church.
I turned 31 this month so I decided to make my own cake - chocolate chip oatmeal cake with cinnamon peanut butter frosting - yum!
It was a lovely birthday and I definitely felt the love from family and friends!
The weekend of my birthday week we headed down to Colorado Springs to eat at tucanos. We stopped at this really cool park in Castle Rock on the way first. We climbed up these stairs and the view was so pretty - we'll need to come back up here when it is nice and green outside!
Love that Jaxson is old enough to take photos now and he usually can get a good one too.
This is how everynight looks at our house - wrestling and tackling Daddy. Every. Night. The kids love it.
I was able to slip away for another quick girls trip - this time with my girls from Colorado. We stayed in a cabin in the moutains and it was heavenly. Love these ladies!
Ryan turned 34 this month. No cake for him, he prefers pie - Happy birthday Hunny!
He is the fun parent, everyone's hero, and he let the kids blow out his candles - best daddy around!
AND... he destroyed us in bowling.
Avery Jo turned 6 this month -- We sure love her spunk & sweet spririt! She started out her day as requested -- cereal with sprinkles & a bit of ice cream.
She opened 5 new cupcake dolls to add to her collection - she was one happy girl!
Avery had a birthday party with 3 of her church friends. They had pizza & donuts, played pin the horn on the unicorn, and then enjoyed carnival rides at lolipop park. Avery loved it!!
We enjoyed a couple quick trips to the zoo this month before our membership expired. Seeing the polar bear up close was so cool!
The peacocks walk all around the zoo here.
Feeding the lorakeets - Avery loved it except for when the red bird tried to bite her. Griffin loved getting handed the lorakeet food and immediately drinking it ... thinking it was like a sample at costco. Oops!
The Brinkerhoff family came to visit us the last week of the month. We all had a blast playing with cousins and doing all sorts of fun activities. This is everyone all smiles after the easter egg hunt.
Dying Easter eggs
Easter bunny crafts
Shopping trip to target
A quick stop at the park before heading to...
GREAT WOLF LODGE!!! The kids had so much fun - swimming 10+ hours over 2 days.
This boy loved the blue slide - he probably went on it 70 times.
Bright eyed and ready for another day of swimming.
Playing dress up. We loved our cousin time!!
The saturday before Easter we went to the neighborhood Easter Egg hunt. These kids were ready!
Making edible bunny crafts. The kids really enjoyed making & eating that one.
Easter morning - the Easter bunny found us! The kids were super excited to find their baskets filled with goodies & toys.
Easter Sunday was also General Conference. It was so nice to listen to our Prophet and the other leaders of our church - I know this church is true! I know that Jesus is the Christ. He is my Savior. He came to earth to show us how to live and then he atoned for my sins so that I can be resurrected & forgiven of my sins when I repent. That gift is the most amazing I can imagine. I am so grateful to him and my Heavely Father for this plan of happiness that shows us mercy when we mess up. Because of him, I can live with my family forever! The best promised Easter gift!
