It seems to be my mantra lately...
Where did ____________ (fill in the month) go?????
April is no different. I'm reeling at the speed at which this month has flown by, and yet it has seemed really long, too. That probably doesn't make any sense to anyone but me.
I'm going to try my hardest to re-cap this month. I did post on the 3rd about mom and dad coming down, so I'll start from there.
The easiest way to describe my month is this way...with a photo of my calendar.
Maybe it doesn't look too bad to you, but it was incredibly busy. Baseball is in full swing and there were days that I had 4 games to go to. It was incredibly difficult to choose between watching Tanner play, or watching Ty, since their games were scheduled on the same days at the same time. They were both so understanding and seemed to be ok whether I was there or not. I hate having to choose. It makes me sad. Especially since I hate to miss ANYTHING!!
My dear friend, Stephanie, came to sunny AZ with her family and some friends for their spring break. It was so wonderful to spend an afternoon shopping, lunching, and catching up! She is an amazing woman, wife, and mother, and I love her dearly! I sure miss you, Steph!

Treyson made it into the elementary school's annual high jump competition again. I didn't get any photos of him jumping (too many kids and parents to get a good view), but I did get some of him waiting to jump.
(Try to ignore the fact that the boy in front of Treyson is scratching his butt....uuuggg...)
(...and I have no idea why this boy is wearing a white glove on his hand. Maybe trying to channel his inner Michael Jackson? Wow.)
Easter snuck up on me this year. Needless to say, I was grossly unprepared. I did manage, however, to get some eggs boiled for our annual coloring...
Sadly, that was the extent of our Easter celebration.
On the 10th, Becca and her family came down because Rob had meetings in Phoenix. We had such a fun time hanging out with them! They were incredibly good sports to support the boys by watching their many, many baseball games. Of course, I didn't take any pictures. I don't know why. I can't explain it. Dang! We love you guys!! Thanks for coming down to visit!
On April 12th and 13th, I got to tend my very favorite redhead in the whole world! She is such a sweetheart!
On the 16th, Tanner was recognized at a school assembly as a Golden Scholar. I was so proud!!
The 17th provided me with some much needed "girl time". Leslie, Sara, and I lunched and talked the afternoon away at
Liberty Market in Gilbert. It was great! Thanks, girls!
Bevan, Donna, and Anna Bean (as Treyson calls her) came down for their annual the-winter-is-over-the-ski-resort-is-closed- trip to visit! We had fun catching up and loving on that sweet Anna!
Tanner's last Freshman baseball game was on the 24th. I am not ashamed to say that after the game I sat in my car and shed a tear or two. It has been such a fun team to watch. Most of these boys have played together in 7th, 8th, and now 9th grade, and will probably not play together again for a while. Next year, a few of these boys will move up to Varsity, while most of them will be playing J.V. It will still be great, just never the same.

This weekend is looking to be another busy one. The baseball booster is having a huge garage sell to raise some needed funds for the team. I also have a couple of baseball games and a bridal shower to attend. However, next week holds a couple of very special events:
Kevin is graduating with his Masters Degree (wooooooo hoooooo!!!!!)
and
Tater Bug is getting baptized!!
