Happy Spring!!

Hello Everyone!  Happy Spring, April, & Easter Weekend!  March was a busy month for us!  It started with Tricia's Baby Shower.  Teri, Amber, & Abby came down from Prescott for the shower.  Teri was only able to stay a day because she had to return to Petco's Pet Grooming Academy (which she finished yesterday), and Amber & Abby stayed in town for a week because they were on Spring Break.  Luckily my Spring Break coincided with theirs.  After they left I still had a week off, and James had 5 days off.  We had a really nice "Staycation".  We spent a lot of time poolside, watched a lot of movies, and spent a lot of time with Tricia & Michael.  At the end of March we had a great visit with John (James's brother) from Spokane.  He signed up for a conference at a college here in town, so we had the pleasure of his company for 2 nights.  We took him to a couple of spots we like to eat, and watched some "Game of Thrones" together. :)  Below are pictures of what we did in March.  Now we are all waiting for little Zoe's arrival!  Tricia's due date is April 12th, so Zoe will be here any day now!!!

James and I did a 8 mile hike to Seven Falls in Sabino Canyon.



We spent a lot of time by the pool in March!  Here is Momma Z!

"Bacon" the Pig!  He ran over to us and layed on his back for a tummy rub, just like a dog!

Reid Park with Tricia, Amber, & Abby

Reid Park is a local park that has a little lake with ducks, a zoo, playgrounds, a stage, and baseball fields.  Tricia, Amber, Abby, & I spent a couple hours there one day playing frisbee, feeding ducks, and relaxing.





Tricia's Baby Showers

Tricia's friend on the right is getting married in May, so her and Tricia's other girlfriend pictured here were in Vegas for a bachelorette party the weekend of Tricia's shower.  So we had a mini baby shower with just the 2 of them.

The shower had an ocean theme.  The picture frame was supposed to look like an aquarium.  Momma Z made tons of these adorable ocean cut-outs with her scrapbooking skills.  Some are pictured here, and some are below.
