Goofy Kids

When we were at Hobby Lobby the other day the kids wanted me to take their picture sitting on this wagon wheel bench. They are so silly.

Katelynn- it's like learning to ride a bike

Katelynn told us that she wanted the training wheels taken off of her bike. Not gonna argue with that! Here she is during her first try without them. Not too shabby!

After they did that for a while Scott took the pedals off so she can practice gliding. "Excuse me! I'm gliding here!" (Name that movie)

Second star to the right....

Last Saturday the kids were able to go to a birthday party for a girl in Katelynn's class. It was really cute. The theme was Peter Pan with fairies and pirates. 

Visiting Daddy at Work

This month Scott's rotation is at the school's clinic, and it has been sooooooooo nice. He is around a lot more, and it has been so awesome. It's like a little preview to what it might be like to have him working 'office hours' after he is an established doctor. Woot! It's great for him to be on an 'easy' rotation after being gone all of last month.

Since he is so close we have been able to go visit him at the office a couple times. He loves to show off his kids, plus whenever people find out he has triplets they always want to meet them. So, we took them in to meet the office staff and his supervising doctor. Here are a couple of pictures we took outside the clinic after visiting him one day.

BTW...doesn't Scott look so cute in his white coat?! Ow ow!! Lol!

Bday GNO

I was able to have a little Girl's Night Out with some of my best buds here in Arizona to celebrate my birthday. We went to this place that does fondue called Le Chalet. It was a beautiful night, so we sat outside, and it was so much fun. I will definitely miss these girls (and the girls who were unable to make it!!) when we all leave for residency or wherever life takes us!

Oh, and check out these signs posted in the bathroom. The first one was above the urinal, and the second was above the toilet. Hilarious!!

I was also able to have a GNO with some of my buds in my ward for my birthday, as well. We went to Mimi's Cafe, as per my request, and it was great fun. They always make me laugh! After I got home I realized that I didn't get a picture of us and I was so bummed! But, it was still way fun.

Park with Mamaw & Chaia

While my mom & sis were in town we went to Saguaro Ranch Park. The kids had a great time chasing the peacocks, checking out the rose show, eating snowcones (thanks Aunt Chaia!), and playing on the playground.

Uncle Herb's Memorial

On April 3rd a memorial was held for my Uncle Herb, who is my Aunt Barbara's husband. He passed away March 3rd. The memorial was held at my Aunt Barb's house. It was a fairly casual open house with a catered lunch. It gave everyone an opportunity to stop by and remember Uncle Herb. 

Michael, "Cooookies!!"

Dinner with the Aunts

My Mom and sister, Chaia, were in town to attend my Uncle Herb's memorial. The night before the memorial we were able to get together with all of my Mom's side of the family at my cousin Frank & his wife Julie's house for a little barbecue. Here are some fun shots of the evening.

Max hammin' it up for the camera, and Laurie manning two cameras. 

It was a fun evening, full of laughter, a 'fashion show', Apples to Apples, great food, and great company. Chaia & I were enjoying watching our aunts interact with each other, and wondered if we will be as crazy & silly when all of our sisters get together when we're older and have kids of our own. Chances are...YES! 

Railroad Park Meet n' Greet

While my Mom was in town, my sister-in-law Carol, her new hubby, and their kiddos were traveling through Phoenix on their way up to Utah, so we decided to all meet at the park for a picnic. 

The kids doing *something* on the railroad tracks.

Emma. I swear she could be a model! I might just be a little biased, though. ;) 

Emma & Jeb taking a picture of each other taking a picture of each other. Lookie! We have the same camera! 

 All the cousins together. Gotta take a goofy pic!

Say Cheese! 

Carol and Jeb...and Katelynn 

Me & Mom. Love this pic! 

Emma & Michael riding in the cattle car. 

Oh my word...so, for some odd reason Michael kept refusing to have his picture taken with Mamaw. Here I was trying (again) to get a picture of them together and he hunkered down on the floor! So, my mom joined him for their picture together. Lol! 

Emma on the carosel

Afterwards we headed over to DQ for some ice cream. The kids thoroughly enjoyed that! Thanks for treating, Carol! 

Nice faces, girls. 

It was a lot of fun, and so great for the kids to play with their cousins. It was great to meet the newest members of our family, too. They are awesome, and I'm so happy for their new little family! I am excited to get to know them better and gladly welcome them into the fam!
