On Feb 23rd our family flew out of Calgary, AB to head south and enjoy some nice weather in Mesa, AZ. A very good friend of mine moved down there about 2 years ago so we wanted to go and visit and see a new part of the world. We stayed in Arizona from the 23rd of February until the night of the 27th in which we flew to Texas to visit some of our family there for a couple of days.
While in Arizona we went to the Phoenix Zoo, swam in the pool, enjoyed some heat, took a day trip to Sedona and just visited some great friends!! Celeste and Nathan have 3 children; the twins (Ava and Isabella) who are only 3 days older than Landen and Theodore (who will be 2 years old in May). The kids had a blast together and Landen can not WAIT to see his girlfriends again soon!! (that is what he calls them!!!)
...and hopefully out like a lamb!!! This is what our weather looked like the day before spring began. We had a terrible blizzard that started in the later morning on Monday, March 19th and continued to get worse as the day went on. It amounted to a fair bit of snow which we desperately needed. So of all days to go out and play the boys wanted to get out in the blizzard. To my amazement they lasted out there over an hour!
It's pretty bad when the dog wanted to come into the house before the kids did!! My Snow Dog!
Then of course after all that snow there is melting and even MORE fun when the mud appears!! So for the past week my washing machine has been kicked into overdrive trying to keep up with these boys and their clothes!!!
Over the past 2 days it is finally starting to feel a little more like spring. Landen and I were able to get out yesterday and help move some pairs out of the sloppy corrals to the pasture. It was so great to be outside and enjoy the warmer temperatures on the quads!
