March update

The days are flying by or so it seems... I plugged my camera in to download "a few pictures" and lo and behold, I had 160 + little memories in the camera!  Behind, behind, behind I run these days...

March has been a beautiful month!  The weather is a bit on the warmer side however we have still been able to spend quite a bit of time enjoying the sunshine.

March 1st was Grandpa's 66th birthday. He came back to visit for a few days and Suri and I went out to visit with him at Aunt Ashley and Uncle Don's house. We had a mini birthday celebration for him and Suri and Jackson enjoyed helping him unwrap his presents :)



Suri has been spending some time with her Dad at his new house on Sundays. We go visit him at his house and then go to a nearby park to play. We usually finish up the visit with a trip to Peter Piper Pizza for lunch.

Suri is having fun picking out her own clothes these days... she can get quite creative :-)

Lindsay and I had an opportunity for an impromptu photo session with the kids from Kari Green Photography out at Schneph Farms.  As it turned out, it was a great opportunity to get Suri's 3 Year photos taken professionally. Suri and Jackson were both in quite the ornery mood and the photos reflected it but overall, we got a few cute pictures :-)

Suri's all to familiar 3year old face!

up to no good!

Suri had a candy bracelet on that proved to be quite a distraction during photos!

Suri's Great Grandfather Graca was in Arizona for a month or so visiting Zijah and his family. On his last day here, I brought Suri over to Zijah's to visit him and we all went to True Foods for Lunch. Great Grandpa doesn't speak English so communicating with him was a bit difficult but overall Suri understood his hugs and kisses. He seems like a neat person who is full of energy. Before we all went for lunch, Suri helped her Dad skim the pool.

Suri has been awaiting the day she can go to her first dance class for quite some time. I signed her up for a ballet class through the city back in January ( for the March start class) and she has been asking and asking WHEN she gets to go. Here is a picture of her on her first day of Ballet. She has now had 2 classes and is still loving it!

The class is for 3 and 4 year olds- Ive gotta hand it to the teacher that braves teaching all these little ones to learn a dance!

Today, is the 31st and the month of March is officially coming to a close ( I HAVE to get this post finished and POSTED). Instead of going to spend time at Zijah's house this morning, we all decided ( Zijah, his Aunt Sada and her kids, and myself) to take a trip to Saguaro Lake. This past week was Suri's spring break and although we didn't get to take a trip to the beach like Suri ultimately wanted to do, a trip to the lake proved just as fun for Suri and her cousins. They were SO excited to see the shore line COVERED in shells. The kids spend hours just picking up shells and putting them in their buckets. It was a perfect overcast day and a great close to the Month of March!
