Thank heavens for springtime, sunshine, and most of all family!
Grandma Connolly came to visit for a few days and was so sweet to just hang-out and adore and spoil  our little darlings.
 
 Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
 
First tricycle. She should be doing wheelies in no time with an almost pro-biker for a Dad.

Ivy's blessing. Grandma & Grandpa Riggs came for the special occasion, and we are so blessed to have my sister and her family always nearby!


 Shortly after Brandon accepted a new job as a "mud engineer" he was sent to Texas for 2 months for "mud school". Instead of missing our Daddy in our little apt, we decided it best for us to come to Arizona. It was SO difficult to be away from Brandon, but such a blessing and so much fun to be with friends & family.
 
Grandpa Connolly

Great Grandma & Grandpa Christensen. Ivy's middle name, Agatha, is after Grandma Christensen's Mother (who of course was amazing, hard working, talented and righteous woman)
and sister who passed away as a baby.

Easter Egg hunt with Riggs cousins

 
Grace and her best friend and cousin Benson. She definitely couldn't get enough of him
during our visit.

Easter. Sadly those dresses (a gift from Grandma Connolly) are the only matching things my girlies have! However there are many times I unconsciously dress all of us in the same color and don't realize it until Brandon comes home- it's a little embarrassing.

Grandpa Riggs love to play just as much as his grand kids!

Grace's first horse ride!! She was only slightly excited. :)

More Riggs cousin time...Grace is always spoiled by the cute Riggs cousins.

 A VERY short weekend visit from Daddy.
 


Our little family. Yes there was another picture to choose from, however with Grace's awesome photogenic ability and attention this was the best choice.
 
 Grandma & Grandpa Connolly

Ivy's first swim. She probably didn't need to be held. I'm sure all her chubbies would've kept her afloat!

Grace LOVES to swim at Grandma Connolly's especially with her fun Aunt Kayli.

Playing with friends (Rachel and Andrew Hale, Cooper and Cole Perkinson) was a bonus to all the fun we had during our visit.
 
More fun friends (Felicity and Emery Smith)!
