Spring break

This past week was spring break for Hunter from school and Ave from preschool. Spring break is always fun because it is not too long of a break like summer can sometimes be but a nice time off from the busyness of a school schedule. We started it off by a weekend of spring cleaning and dejunking which then led to a very productive garage sale. Hunter and Ave loved talking to everyone as they came up to look and stuff and hand them a plastic bag for their purchases. As for E it was all about containment.
Then on Sunday it was over to a pretty spot in Gilbert to have some fun taking some shots of the girls in their matching tutus. It was girly heaven for mom watching them together they are so cute.Then on Wednesday it was off to Jump Street for a birthday party. I had never been there before but the kids loved it. It is pretty much a giant warehouse with trampolines and inflatables everywhere. They have a section for dodgeball and a foam pit you can jump into it is pretty sweet. That was a blast. Then Grandma Tobar came into town and we had a fun St. Patrick's day. The next day we went to the mall for a while and the kids played at the new mall play area and we took then by the pet store so we could all check out the puppies.
Ave and Eden had so much fun climbing and jumping off the equipment and running around the play place in circles. This was the first time I have actually let Emma get down and crawl around in the play place and she loved it. After about five minutes a two year old little boy came over and started talking to her and hugging her. He was adorable the shirt his dad put on him however was not. He had a shirt on that said "I dig older chicks" and then had the skin girl silhouttes on the sides. Ridiculous. Get away from my daughter buddy. I am sorry that you are only two and your dad who is over to the side sporting a similarly ridiculous shirt as well dressed you that way. He kept coming over and patting her on the back and talking to her. Emma crawled around and would just look at him and then move on to something else. A few minutes later some more babies showed up. Soon she had a couple of friends of the male persuasion in her midst. It was cute to watch how she reacted to them. We had such a nice rest of the week/weekend with mom just visiting, playing games, going to Brittany's mission homecoming and throwing Em an early Tangled birthday party even though her birthday isn't until next week. Love having the kids home. Spring break is so nice.

I LOVE the picture of Ave kissing Em on the top of the head in their matching tutus! SO cute!!!! And I totally agree with you about the kid's shirt. Ew. double ew. I can't stand to even see those things on cars or shirts or anywhere else. I lose respect for anyone that thinks they're cool enough to buy. how degrading! I miss you! Maybe we can chat sometime this week? It feels like it's been ages!
