The Rest of April Festivities

There is so much to catch up on. Kevin's birthday was April 22nd. The big 31. He is officially in his 30s now. I feel bad that we didn't do anything too exciting for his birthday. We ended up having to work late, so we got home really late and made tacos. He has to have tacos on his birthday. His birthday gift from me was 4 golf lessons with a pro. He was pretty stoked. Saturday we drove up to Layton and had lunch with my sister Heidi and her family and my Aunt Judy and Uncle Kevin. Then we dyed Easter eggs with some pretty cool dye kits. The tie-dye kits are totally worth it!

Easter Sunday we drove back up to my Aunt and Uncle's house and had a fabulous Easter dinner. It is always nice to spend holidays with family. My niece Isabel is adroable and had her own little aster egg hunt in the living room. Wish I would have taken some pictures.

The following Monday we celebrated Kevin's birthday with some friends as Los Hermanos. We love Mexican food!

April in Mesa

The third weekend in April I was lucky enough to fly down to Mesa to visit my sister Jenny and her adorable family. They moved down to AZ in December from Provo and I miss them like crazy. Jessica and Kaylee talked to me non-stop once they picked me up from the airport. Liam is just as cute as ever.

We went straight to Grimaldi's in downtown Scottsdale, which made me very happy. Love that pizza. Saturday morning I got to go to Jessica's first gymnastics meet. She was the youngest one to compete and so adorable. She did really well too. She placed first in her level on the bars. Later that afternoon Jenny and I had some sister time and went shopping and had lunch. That night there was a Dunn family BBQ and I got to hangout with my brother-in-law's family.

The weather was pretty toasty at 100 degrees each day, so I 'm not sure I could ever handle living in Arizona. On Sunday we went over to the Mesa Temple grounds and I took some really cure pictures of my nieces and nephew. I posted them on Facebook if you want to see them.

I was just so happy to be able to spend time with my sister and her family. I miss having them so close. I wish Kevin could have come too, and I know the kids missed him.
