Looking for Sunshine!

Well, March went by like a whirlwind! So, this blog will more than likely be a long one. Other than work, snow, work, cold, Whit's birthday it was pretty uneventful here at home. On the 13th, Sammy called us to tell us that she had lost her first tooth! She is getting so big!

Things in AZ have been a worry. We got word that little Miss Reagan was having some possibly serious issues. We left for a visit on Thursday the 25th and headed south....in a snow storm. Stopping in Elsinore for the night, we visited with Grandpa and caught up with my Aunt Karren and Uncle Larry in Richfield for dinner. They are headed to Moab for the annual Jeep Safari. It was a fun evening. On Friday, we set off to see the kids in the sunshine. As the day progressed, we watched the temperature go from 32 degrees to 74 in Phoenix before the sun went down. (I must say though, that 50 degrees in the dark there felt much colder than it does here.) We got to Jen's house before the boys went to bed and they were very happy to help us unload the car and "move in". Brent got to finally meet his new little granddaughter. It was love at first sight!!

Reagan still had all her beautiful hair and it had evened grown longer!! She loves her bath and when it's wet, she has blonde roots!!! She had a cough and Harrison had been to the doctor on Thursday night and was diagnosed with Strep. He didn't seem to let it bother him too much though.
Saturday, Harrison was not feeling very well. So, we did some Easter crafts which Jackson was VERY proud of. He made a very special plastic chicken egg for Uncle Jake. (lol)
Sunday didn't begin well. Harrison was worse and Reagan's cough was getting to be a concern. Patrick took Harrison to the ER and they spent a few hours there. He came home with a cotton ball taped to his arm from a blood draw and a bandaid on his leg from a big shot of penicillin. He would not let anyone "chutch" his arm. Jennie was able to convince him to let her take it off. He was proud, but not too perky.
Monday, Brent and I decided to get Jackson out for a while. We went to the Pima Air and Space Museum at Davis Air Force Base. He had a ball! We all did. So many planes, so little time. The museum is bigger than the one at HAFB!!! They had Air Force One from Kennedy and Johnson there. It was awesome!
Tuesday, Brent and I decorated easter eggs with the boys. Jennie and Patrick decided to go ahead and try to set up a time to bless Reagan. It was set for 6:00 pm that evening. Both kids seemed to be improving. Miss Reagan got all dressed up and looked like a little princess and we were so glad that we were able to be there for it. Then Harrison had to model his fro for me.
Wednesday was a trip to the Tucson Zoo with the boys. It was really fun. The zoo is pretty small, but everything was there. It was a beautiful day. On the way home we knew it had been a success when both of them crashed before we got 10 minutes from the zoo! Funny! We had a little egg hunt before they went to bed.

Thursday was a travel day. We hated to leave them. Always do. So back to Utah we went. Left in the sunshine and 70 degrees......by the end of the day we were in a blizzard north of Kanab and trying to avoid a bgillion deer. Got to Elsinore and the ground was dry, but about 38 degrees. About 15 minutes later it was snowing.....hard. Ahh....spring in Utah! (eye roll)
