April '15

We took off to Arizona at the beginning of April for Spring Break. The boys played with cousins and friends and the girls had a baby shower for little Grace. Who is actually entering the world today at some point! I'm sure that'll be the next post!

Uncle Aaron sent Golden State Warrior shirts at Christmas so we finally got all the boys together to wear them. We spent time with Ryker and William, too!
 
On April 11th we lost Weezer.
He was 8 years old and probably had cancer. He's always been such a big, furry kitty that is afraid of EVERYTHING!!! So, when he came out and let the boys love on him we knew something was wrong. Isaac and I took it the hardest. Weezer was my first baby boy and Isaac is our animal lover. Our poor Cloi kitty is so lonely without him. She's become our dog... Always wanting a lap and coming when she's called! 
 

Gilman's Historical Museum and Ranch
When we got home we had a Native American field trip planned. It was amazing! The kids got to do so much. Here they are grinding seeds into flour.

They got to carve their own petroglyphs.

And even learned to hunt rabbits just the way they did hundreds of years ago. Weapons are always a hit with the boys!
 
We lost Papa Sr. on April 4th. We were still in Arizona but Shaun was able to do a turn around trip to see him in his last hours. While his body was weak and tired, his mind was still as sharp as ever.

We celebrated his life on April 25th with friends and family! Shaun was able to lead worship with his older brother and cousin. The slide show was a tear jerker and it was nice being able to love on Nana.
