April

Grumpa Miller passed away on April 5th. It was so nice to be able to visit him every week the past 2 years. And I am happy to know he is Dancing with my Grandma again. William loved his visits so much he keeps a picture of Grumpa on his dresser.

Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Clayton and some awesome friends for taking our kids, Chad and I headed to California. We were able to visit Beach Boardwalk where my Grandma and Grumpa used to take us as kids.

It was so nice to see family and have all of the siblings together.

An accidental photo taken 10 years ago at my Grandma Miller's funeral turned into a tradition every time we were together for a funeral. 2009, 2017, and 2019. We will never understand why Scott was cut out of the first picture......

Easton turned 6 years old on April 18th! My favorite birthday tradition is having the kids decorate their own cake. Easton made a ocean side hotel complete with parking lot.

For his birthday present Chad worked hard to transform this old dresser into......

A birdcage for a parakeet he has been begging for since his last birthday!

We took him to the pet store and he picked out a beautiful blue parakeet. It is a baby so we are not sure if it is a boy or girl yet but he named the parakeet SkyWalker.

After a week of training, SkyWalker will hang out on Easton's shoulder! Easton just loves to walk around the house and hang out with his new friend.

For his birthday he also wanted to go camping. So we headed up to Mt Lemon. We had fun climbing rocks.

We also went hiking through a creek...

Then before we knew it it was Easter! The kids got new flip flops and goggles for the summer.

After church the family all came over for dinner and an egg hunt!

March

The kids had two weeks off of school for spring break. We went miniature golfing.

It was the first time that we have gone and all of the kids have a enjoyed it. William did much better then we thought he would and had a blast getting the ball in the whole by any means necessary haha.

We also played at the park a lot.

One day we had a picnic with Aunt Sarah, Jackson and Gavin and then went to the fire station to visit Uncle Jeff.

The girls had baking lessons with Grandma Miller and made cinnamon rolls! They were delicious!!

Grandma and Grandpa Miller provided some more entertainment for the boys by donating a cardboard box! They were so excited they slept in it.

Grandpa Clayton took Chad and the boys to a monster truck show. They loved it and William fell asleep part way through, but he insists he stayed awake for the whole show! Grandma Clayton made the boys some cute bags to hold their ear muffs.

William loves his so much he has to wear them every time we use the blender.

Sophie earned a trophy at school for excelling in all of her AZMerit subjects!

The kids were so excited to have cousins visit from Idaho! They hajd a sleep over and just had so much fun spending time together.
