Auntie, Uncle Shawn and Abe come to visit

The girls got to go on the field of the Diamondbacks game for their soccer teams. Auntie and Uncle Shawn were able to come to the game too and watch the Dbacks and the Rockies.

 

 The next morning we headed up to Sedona to hike around.

 The kids even got to wade into Slide Rock.

Unfortunately, I got sick while we were there and we ended up going back home early. I was pretty much out of commission most of the weekend, but the kids loved having Auntie and Uncle Shawn visit, but they really LOVED having Abe in the house.

Zoo Field Trip

I was lucky and got to go with Bella on her field trip to the zoo. So many parents attended we got to be in groups of just a few kids.

 We got to see the new baby zebra

 and baby komono dragons who were stuck in the trees

It was one of the few times the male lion was awake and he was playing. 

Spring Soccer

Bella's team was Red Fire and Gabby's was the Blue Monsters. We are so proud of both girls. Bella and Kendall really blossomed and worked together with passing and team work. Gabby really hung in with tall girls and showed no fear. Both girls love to work hard and are always hustling. Bella's leg is getting really strong and she can kick it in half way down the field. It didn't take long for the other team to realize she needed to back up. Gabby just kept hustling. Both girls scored quite a bit. Jeremiah was just a great cheerleader. He actually figured out what he needed to do with the ball. He dribbles and scores. He was either kicking the ball around or playing in the dirt.

 Pappa and Granna got to see both girls play when they were here for Easter.
