april showers....

actually we didnt see much rain this april.. very different from last year being in north carolina when it rained so much.  chris flew in early friday morning while daniel and i had been in vegas almost 2 weeks at this point.  he had another interview this time with pacific dental which is a corporate dental company... not something we badly want to do but keeping our options open so he has a job when we move back in may.  that night chris took me on a date to serendipity at cesears palace... food was good  dessert was awesome... and we had a lot of fun walking around the forum shops...



for easter we watched general conference saturday morning and then that afternoon we had an easter egg hunt... chris hid the eggs for everyone... he did some really hard for amanda and super easy for daniel and the other littles... they had a good time finding them and i was really impressed how well daniel did... he even found some hard ones meant for amanda...






the next day we watched the rest of conference and played with axel and gigi... and then flew home that night.  the next day i had a doctors appointment and passed my glucose test! and then we watched duke win the NCAA championship! woo hoo.... i realize i was raised a UNLV rebel.. and that i should by nature hate duke... but i married a duke fan so i have no choice but to learn to love them as well... i still love the rebels... but duke is actually still good so..... 

the worst part about our time living in tucson are the giant coackroaches that infest our apartment... so gross giant 2 inch+ roaches... so gross... and i always find them... 

the next weekend after we got back to tucson we drove up to scottsdale for chris to attend a cerac course.  we stayed in a nearby hotel.  we would drop chris off at the course and then either go back to the hotel or some little adventure... one day we drove to mesa to check out this awesome thrift/antique shop.... i dind't buy anything but it was really fun to look at it all... that same day we went to phoenix to the childrens museum... it started off really fun till the million school buses drove up for a field trip.... it then became crazy busy... and just crazy.... luckily we found one area of cars that daniel wanted to stay in most the time.... he loved the tiny pickle and toothbrush car.. and the motorcycle... they also had this ramp that you could race these cars made of rollerblade wheels and wood... he did that over and over running up and down the ramp to the top...




that night we picked up chris and cheesecake factory for dinner and went back to the hotel to eat.  watched a little masters golf.... the next day we dropped chris off and after breakfast went to an outdoor mall.... we found the little splash pad it had.  i had some ice cream while he played in the water... that afternoon we picked up chris and went swimming at the hotel pool...



daniel was so funny and would climb into the stroller and sit there to watch tv... funny kid....




the next morning we woke up and checked out and went mini golfing... it was super hot... we had a good time... but as we left i had way over heated and started to black out... really freaky.  it happens to me if i get too hot... but its more freaky when you are driving and super pregnant...


on sunday we had a little BBQ at jeffs for the masters... flank steak and potatoes... i made putting green cupcakes.... and jordan spieth won... it was a good day... we took our traditional masters picture we've taken since daniel was born.... 






the next day i worked om the move.  bought dad a plane ticket to come out and help me drive the van back to vegas.   we've also been trying to get a house to rent in vegas.. its been tough since i'm really limited in my area serch to live by either jack or emily.  we luckily locked one down right before the move and are going to be able to move right in.  Susan came to visit in the middle of the month... it was a busy day.  we went with stevie to pick her up at the airport and then went to jeffs office for a bit and then spent the rest of the day at their house.  that night they threw chris a going away party... it was crazy.... had a good time... but it was crazy...



the next day we went to see this air and space museum... daniel and chris both really enjoyed the planes and cars... i was super hot and tired the whole time, but it was still good... that night we had pizza together... which i;m pretty sure made susan and stevies grandma super sick..





the rest of the month was mostly spent packing boxes and chris wrapping things up at tmd.  we are getting really excited to be back in las vegas.  chris took daniel swimming a couple more times at the club house pool...  daniel is such a funny kid... here's his spanish lord cupcake mustache.... new haircut... and one day he fell asleep playing a game on his phone and i about died laughing as the word game he was playing said nap... and he was napping... hahah! hilarious coincidence...




we took the car in for maintenance and while we were waiting for the car we walked over to toys r us and i let daniel walk the aisles... he sat and looked and cars and stuff for a long time... 


hes also been so fun lately being to imaginative and playing games... here he found this lid and decided it was a steering wheel... and took the remotes to be the gear change.... made chris climb in his car too... so funny!



he also got these super cute cars bath toys from aunt sharon... played with them like crazy,,, lined them up over and over...


he's also getting really good at building his own creations out of legos... this is his awesome plane...


our last week in tucson was pretty good... we said goodbye to friends at church, i packed up everything possible... so i made a fort for daniel to play in and he did that most of the week since i had packed up toys... the employees at TMD got chris balloons and a mudpie from red robin for his last day... they are going to miss him.. ready to be on the road!
