All kinds of good spring time things to report. And we figured if we waited much longer, it would the summertime update.
Spring is always so pretty in Tucson. If you can deal with the obnoxious amounts of pollen from the Acacia trees, the Palo Verde trees and the Mesquite trees, it's almost paradise.
This is the view from mom's work- she just loves all the different shades of green.
She calls this picture "50 Shades of Green". See how clever she is.....
We headed to Albuquerque for Easter. We never go back at Easter but we had to see Uncle Adam and Aunt Erin's new house. They moved down from the mountains and have rejoined civilization. It's a great house and we spent all kinds of time there. We also spent all kinds of time at the new Dave and Busters that just opened up. That almost makes Abq. worth it for dad. This D&Bs had a new Star Wars game that was awesome. It made all of us a little motion sick but it was totally cool!
After a fun afternoon there, we headed up to Uncle Adam and Aunt Erin's to color Easter eggs and decorate the bunny cake. This was Sophia's first time with both of those and she had an awesome time (we think). She was all hands in on the egg decorating and showed a good liberal hand with the jelly beans on the cake. Just how it should be. I was a pretty good Big Cousin and tried to show her the ropes the best I could but kids are a lot of work......
( Guess which side is Sophia's?)
Easter morning, we all headed back down to the house for the egg hunt. The Easter bunny did a great job hiding all the eggs and the whole gang got into it- even Moufasa. I showed Sophia and Brendan the major "how to's" for hunting and Sophia got it like a champ. Brendan had his own plan but had fun none the less.
( Could I look any more like my dad in this picture? I don't think so.....)
In the afternoon, Dat dat and Mr. Walker headed out for a mountain bike ride and Nana, mom and I went for a walk to enjoy the sunshine. We ended up at mom's favorite oak tree. It's so pretty back there now- too bad there are houses and big PRIVATE PROPERTY!!! signs everywhere.
Everyone came up for Easter dinner and we got a few family pictures. Nana and mom took turns closing their eyes during the pictures so none of them turned out totally, 100% good. I think that's why they invented photo shop isn't it?
We headed back home Monday morning and on the way into to town, we stopped to pick up Monkey. We love sending her to this boarding place because she comes home so exhausted, she sleeps for 3 days. It's awesome! I was kind of tired too.....
It was back to the grind for the week. Dad headed up to Prescott, AZ to test ride a course he is racing on in 2 weeks so mom and I were on our own for the weekend. I had a softball game on Saturday at the beautiful fields in Oro Valley. While I was warming up, mom took Ginger on a walk around the area and found this huge, flowering Palo Verde. All those teeny, tiny yellow flowers. That fall off. And usually land in the pool. But they are pretty trees.
Mom then found a sweet spot in the shade with a good view of the game and was able to watch us actually win a game. We are now 1-3 which isn't too bad considering we have no pitching and no one has really hit a ball yet this season.
Dad got home Saturday night and we all slept in Sunday morning. In the afternoon, I went to my friend Shelby's birthday party and had an awesome time. I was the only one tall enough to drive the go carts so I was pretty popular for awhile.
After that fun afternoon, Grandpa Vern and Grandma Sue took me out to dinner. It was a perfect way to end a pretty darn good weekend. Hope everyone has a wonderful week!
