April

April started off with a bang! Our friends the Smith's and Walker's met us in Mesa for a few days.  We had so much fun catching up with them and enjoying our time together.

We took the crew to the Easter Pageant at the Mesa Temple.

The 12 and older kids spent the morning at the Gilbert temple doing baptisms.

We stayed at the condo with the littles and enjoyed the  beautiful view!

Spent the day at Wet n Wild water park in Phoenix.

We ditched the kids for some cold stone ice cream and a little adult time.

Nathan was obsessed with finishing a puzzle that he found in the condo while we played some cards.

We spent an evening at Top Golf

It's so fun to spend time with these wonderful friends.

Justin refuses to use a bag, so he just carries his stuff out of the store.

Everyone wanted to see where we live, so they made the long trek to Thatcher.

All the kids from 5 to 17.

Love these ladies! 

We love these people!

Brauk's 4th grade track meet.

Josh went ice skating with the National Honor Society members.

Josh asking Cammy Nicholas to Prom.  Hobo style!

Conner's teachers quorum participated in the scout mini triathlon.

Jacob had to dress up for Renissance Day at the school.

Brauk received his Bear Scout badge.

Hailey did awesome at her gymnastics show.

For FHE, our family had a mile run competition which was started by Kaitlyn trash talking with Josh.  She thought she could run a mile faster than Josh, so we all joined in.

Conner won, followed by Mike, Josh, Julie, Kaitlyn, Jacob, Brauk and Hailey.  It was a good time and so funny to see us racing down the road.
