Scottsdale!

We just returned from Scottsdale... so nice! I think maybe every year I'll move there from Jan-May. We swam, biked, played at the park, and just flat out enjoyed the sun. The kids really worked on their swimming skills (they can almost swim alone!) since we were in the pool about 10 hours a day. Here's our trip:

Colton was a litte crazy when we threw him







We got a bike trailer for the AZ house so we could all go on rides together. I learned that this is not easy preggers. At least I didn't have to pull the twins.


Colton and Ashley were washing their boats with Grandpa. The things he lets them do...





Here's another one. Ashley told him to come to her beauty salon and she put scotch tape all over his face. Ow.




This was the only hiccup. The dishwasher was leaking. So, Tyler and my dad fixed it. It was hilarious watching the two of them and it was quite an adventure for them. But, it was fixed and looks great. Good job guys!


Ashley helped make pancakes every morning...

The famous "midnight swim". No, it's not at midnight. More like 8pm. The kids love getting in the pool at night- this was Papa Mike's invention. We always make him go in with them for this reason.






Ashley wanted to go swimming after she was already dressed so Tyler put her in a bucket and floated her around the pool.


Colton at the park with Grandma Kathy.



Our morning walk. Papa Mike and Tyler pretty much carried the kids the whole way.

We had to stop on our walk and pose by a big cactus.

And, the kids in our noodles. Thank you to Grandma Kathy and Papa Mike for such a fun trip!

Easter and Exciting News!

This is a very poor representation of how we spent our very FULL Easter, but this was the loot from the Easter Bunny Easter morning. I forgot my camera at my mom's and Tyler's mom's celebrations. So, this is all I have. We went on several egg hunts, went to Jungle Quest with Tyler's Family, and had a TON of candy. Let's just say the twins were VERY spoiled.


Happy Easter everyone!!! And, a little bit of news for The Hollingshead Family:

Roses are red, violets are blue,


We've decided to add to our two...


Boy or girl, can't wait to see,


We're having baby #3!!!!
Can't wait to meet this little one... due October 18th!!!
