Easter Blessings 2014

This year we spent Easter at home. We woke up Easter Sunday, had breakfast, and headed off to church. It turned out to be a gorgeous day of warm weather and partly cloudy skies. In the afternoon Papa Ron and Grandma Claudia stopped over to deliver some Easter goodies, and have an egg hunt.

Arizona Adventure 2014

We just returned from our sunny adventure in Arizona. Randy, Blake, Bennett, and I all headed southwest for 5 days of relaxation. Marlee stayed home with a sitter, as she is getting a bit too wiggly for the 3.5 hour plane ride. We had many adventures while we were on our trip. Here are just a few of the things we did- * We spent lots and LOTS of time in the outdoor pool. * While Randy was in meetings, the boys and I went to the Goldfield Ghost Town. There we went on a mine tour, made our way through the Mystery Shack, and went on a train ride around the town. Blake and Bennett are pictured below with the Superstition Mountains in the background. Also, they took a "silly" photo with the new friends that they made at the conference we attended. * We went to Butterfly Wonderland where we got to see 1,000s of butterflies flying around us. Some even wanted to land on us! * We went to a Brewers Spring Training game where we sat right behind the dugout, got 3 baseballs thrown to us, and even got a Brewers player's autograph! * Spent time with Grandma and Grandpa Gronos who are wintering in AZ. * We ate some yummy treats like ice cream! *The view of the Camelback Mountains (which Blake insisted on hiking to the top of despite what his worrisome mother said) was spectacular! We had such a fabulous vacation, and we can't wait to go back to Arizona again!
