Arizona!

We had a glorious weekend in Arizona and thoroughly enjoyed time with family. We played at parks, beat Papa at many games of laser tag, and even had an Easter egg hunt. It was a fabulous weekend! We're so grateful we were able to go!
The water was freezing!
Ollie loves his pool buddy.

Bedtime stories for the win!
They were thrilled when waking up earlier
than everyone else meant cartoons in the closet.

Green team, GO!
Back in the land of Scorpions.
Josh was thrilled.


At the park in Mesa. It is amazing! 


A determined 6 year old, this one.

Happy boy!

He was so proud!

We are blessed to have such an amazing family and we're
looking forward to the next time we can all be together again!

This kid came up with this idea on
his own. He didn't want Blanket
Dean getting dirty or caught in the 
sidewalk, so he shoved it into his coat!

 

Marching along

This month was another one for the books. We played at parks, despite the cold weather and we adventured all over Milwaukee. This month was also when the world realized just how serious Covid-19 is. It was the start of our city being shut down along with every major city in the world. School got shut down for the boys and a city ordinance was put in place asking that we only leave our house for emergencies and groceries. Grocery store shelves were totally wiped clean of toilet paper and canned food items. It was the start of a worldwide pandemic and major panic. 
I'm so grateful we got some good playing in before the parks were shut down and the social distancing rules were put in place. Also, that we were prepared with toilet paper supply and food storage.  We love our city!

Slides after school!
Storytime at the Tosa Library. 
We love Miss Maria!

Surprisingly, they were NOT
a big hit. 
Dad picked S'mores for FHE
treat. 


A day at the Domes!


Always ready for adventure.


Working on our jumping skills

Working on the timing.


I love these boys of mine.

Oliver got some one on one time with Dad while I took the boys to Quinn's birthday party. 


Happy birthday!

Fishy faces with the fish puzzle.

Ollie got to go to story time with
his friends Genevieve and Will.
He practically owns the place.

A day at our favorite park! 
The Park at Malone. 



This kid is hilarious!

Just casually eating some oranges
with a Lightsaber battle in the background.


Marc and Jamie had a trip planned at the end of March to Arizona to see Ty, Amanda, and Izzy but when Covid hit everyone's school got cancelled. So we threw caution to the wind and got on a plane to join them! YOLO!
So excited!

He did NOT want his picture taken.
