We are back from our wonderful vacation to Arizona. Boy did we have a great time. Our only complaint was that it flew by way too fast! The weather was just perfect. It felt great to soak up some sun after such a cold winter. Dawson did fairly well during the drive there and back. We broke it up into two parts and that made it easier on everybody! I think that Dawson already loves Arizona as much as his mom does. I also think that Joey is starting to fall in love with Arizona too. This was his first time there in the spring, and he loved the weather. Ashlyn had a great time as usual and was crying so hard yesterday when we got home because she missed it. We filled our days with shopping, relaxing, eating wonderful food, and spending time with family and friends. It was so nice seeing my Grandma and our friends we only see a few times a year. I can't wait until our next trip out there. I am posting a lot of pictures so I will describe more of our trip in the pictures.
Ella and Dawson loved laying outside in the grass. Being that they were born in the winter, they have hardly been outside at all!

Just relaxing and soaking up the sun
Ashlyn and Nadia playing together. They just had a great time together. Nadia is almost a year younger than Ashlyn. When they were younger their age difference was too big for them to play together, but we knew one day they would love to play together. Ashlyn kept asking for Nadia everytime she wasn't around.
Sharing a chair together
Dawson worn out from all of the activity.

Ella's face is just too cute in this picture

We had to make a trip to the train park. I have made it a tradition to take Ashlyn each time we visit since I have such fond memories of going there as a child with my grandparents. Each time she seems to enjoy it more.
On the swings
Playgrounds are her favorite
She is such a climber
Going down the slide
On the swings
She had a great time
The train pulling up to the station
All aboard
Holding Daddy's hand
She had to put on her movie star glasses
Waving
Of course she had to ride the carousel

One of the things I like best about our house down there are the citrus trees in the backyard. There is a lemon, orange, and kumquat tree. Kumquats are like mini oranges that you eat peel and all. They are so sweet and so good. There is nothing like picking a kumquat fresh off the tree and eating it. Ashlyn really enjoyed picking them this year.

Looking for some good ones

I LOVE this onesie because it actually says "Baby Brother". This was Dawson's nickname in the womb. We called him that so much when I was pregnant, that we still all refer to him as that a lot. It's just such a habit.
