Early Easter with grandma!

Grandma Candrian flew into town and spent a couple of nights with us.  We love it when grandmas do that!!!  We had the best weekend ever...having a little Easter egg hunt, going to Peter and Isaac's baseball games and listening to conference.  It was wonderful!!   So grateful for a wonderful family and a prophet here on this earth who is the mouth piece for our Heavenly Father.  The gospel is JOY and I am grateful to have it.

SPRING TRAINING FOR THE ANGELS

 

Today we went to Tempe to eat lunch with Drew and visit the Angels practice field...yes spring training is starting and we had to check it out!  Can you believe this place is about 5 minutes from Drew's work...is that a co-incident???  We did have a lot of fun...watching the team bat and getting autographs from some of the players.  Peter was pretty proud of the Mike Socha signature he got - that is the head coach for the Angles.  Ty and I even enjoyed our time out at the ball park...don't ask me why Ty is missing his pants in the picture.  This is just another reason why I do love Arizona - Spring Training!!!



We do love the desert

It is not the rockies...but we have found beauty in the Arizona scenery.  We enjoy hunting for scorpions and listening for rattlesnakes (ok I am lying a bit)

Having a mlb team close to our new home is pretty much Drew's dream come true

Living and Loving Arizona

We are here in Arizona...we survived the move and have gotten settled. Drew's new job at US Airways is what got us here. The boys have adjusted pleasantly and have embraced this new experience. We have met some new friends who have welcomed us and showed us all the fun, beauty and enjoyment here in this awesome place. As you can tell I have taken quite a liking to this place, it must be the beautiful weather. I am afraid of what the summer heat is going to bring, but we are going to make it work for us and enjoy every last sunburn or heat stroke that we might encounter (I sure hope it isn't that extreme)!!

Family photos

everyone loves getting the family photos taken right. I mean all of the stress picking out the right clothing...you want to blend but don't want to look cheesey. Getting your 8 year old to smile naturally and not to think about his smile. Keeping your 2 year old occupied and telling him as soon as we are done we are going straight to Mcdonalds.

Yep, these are our family photos and every little thing I stressed about was well worth it. I LOVE THEM!!! My boys look great and Carson likes to show me his soft smile all the time now. Amy Harrison did an awesome job.
