Niagara Falls


 
When Lee has a day off, I sometimes get crazy ideas to go somewhere, anywhere.  Sometimes these ideas that I have aren't thought out and that was the case for Niagara Falls.  As you can see from the pictures everyone looks pretty grumpy.  Samantha probably screamed the most and tried to run away a few times.  JD was on a stroller strike and wanted to explore and tried to get too close to the edge.  There were a million people there and it was cold and wet.  So my idea to have a fun time at Niagara Falls was a fail but at least we can say we went.

We bought a house

Lee, Samantha and I flew out to Arizona to look for a place to live.  We left Kass, Tom and JD with a cute couple from our ward.  Sam got to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Heck.  Finding a house in Prescott wasn't easy.  The housing prices were crazy expensive and it's hard to find a house with four bedrooms and a flat yard.  I'm a little embarrassed to say that I knew every house that was for sale.  We kind of stumbled on the one we ended up buying.  It wasn't even listed in Prescott because the Realtor was based down in Scottsdale but I just so happened to see it online and told my Realtor about it.  It took some fenagling to finally be able to see, but we loved it.  We made an offer the night before we flew out.   


Easter 2014

The girls were the only ones excited to dye Easter eggs this year.  Tommy was probably outside playing and Lee and JD were just chilling. 
We did have a super fun egg hunt in our huge backyard even though the weather was a little chilly.

Spring is here, kind of



The thing about Rochester weather is that it likes to trick you.  Once you think you've finally been able to put the freezing cold and nasty days behind you, you are hit with another snow storm.  At the end of March, we had 8, I repeat 8 inches of snow.  
But once the sun comes out and you can put on a pair of shorts and it's 50 degrees, you feel like a new person.
Your legs are whiter than white and your eyes hurt because the sun is so bright but it feels really good to be out of the house.

When spring comes, lots of things need to be fixed and when you're one, fixing things is pretty awesome.
Dirty bum season comes with spring because it's so muddy and wet. 
Samantha actually let me braid her hair.  I had to have evidence because she'd rather have her hair in her face.
The three older kids took two sessions of swim lessons.  Samantha cracks me up.
Tommy had a few Author's Celebration days where the students read their projects in front of the class.  This one was the Power Point animal one. 
Tommy got glasses.
On this day at the park, it was painfully windy.  (Yes, it's not only cold but super windy in Rochester. Yeah!)
