Aunt Cherisse's Room

We went to Aunt Cherisse's first thing in the morning. Gavin was not happy about putting on his coat in April, but what can you do?
Gavin looks a little bit like a sick patient here in Aunt Cherisse's bed.

I couldn't believe how messy Aunt Cherisse's room was. I mean, I have seen messier, but you couldn't even open the door all the way and when I stepped into the room she showed me exactly where to put my foot. I decided that something needed to be done.



So, I cleaned it. Cherisse helped, too.



We went with Aunt Cherisse to her doctor's appointment for the cyst on her wrist. We watched while the doctor poked it with a huge needle and then squeezed it and out popped some clear gel. It was pretty cool.

The First Weekend in April

Ben turned 26 on April 3. He requested a pineapple upside down cake. It was my first time making one. It doesn't look very pretty, but it tasted really yummy.


Cherisse got the urge to try on my wedding dress, so I let her.







Grandma Mullins and Aunt Elizabeth came to visit from Virginia. Aunt Elizabeth is going to move to Provo in the fall and we are excited to be able to see her more.
We took a stroll around the Provo Temple because that is where Grandma and Grandpa Mullins got married.

Gavin really enjoyed the fountain.



We were sad to see Grandma and Aunt Elizabeth leave, but we are excited to see them again later this summer! We love you and thanks for coming to visit!

Fun in the Arizona Sun

At one point during the drive down to Arizona I looked back to check on Gavin and I saw this. That is his hair sticking up over the car seat. Yeah, it is pretty awesome!

We went to the community pond and fed the ducks.

We found out that Gavin does not like the feel of grass.
We also found out that Gavin LOVES to swing.





Can you see how red he is? Apparently it was really hot for him in AZ.


Aunt Aubrey bought Olivia a new swimsuit, but then found her old one, so she put the new on Gavin.This little beach ball came with the swim diapers. We thought it was stupid until we realized that the babies loved it!


We went swimming at the resort where Grandma Glaus works. It was way fun!

Crazy hair after swimming.
Olivia loves orange juice...or does she?

On the way home we came upon a snow storm, so we decided to stop for the night. Unfortunately this is the only picture I got in the room because my battery was dead. We stayed at the Color Country Motel (the same place we stayed when we hit that deer.)
We saw this car passing a semi carrying the same type of car. We had to take a picture.
