Zvonimir had a mandatory training class in Arizona and since one of my good friends who I had not seen in over 10 years lives in AZ, we thought it was the perfect excuse to tag along and get some sun. While Zvonimir was at work, Gabe, Zara and I lounged by the pool. The resort was wonderful! There was a large pool and a big lazy river. The kids had a blast hanging out at the lazy river. The resort even had an Easter Bunny who hosted an egg hunt.

Each day the Gabe, Zara and I had a nice breakfast then headed to the pool. It was very relaxing! One morning we drove to breakfast so that we could go to meet my friend Joanne, who had posted on Facebook about being in Scottsdale at the same time so we were meeting up. As I was backing out a low curb/flower bed happened to be in my blind spot and I scratched the car bumper (quite bad!). Of course the first thing they told their dad that night was that I wrecked the car!

We were also able to catch up with my cousin and his family before they moved to NY. It was such a great trip and the kids were very well behaved. It was one of the most relaxing vacations I’ve had with them. They want to go to Arizona every year for vacation!

Since we had planned on being out of town for the long Easter weekend we painted Easter eggs and planned an egg hunt in our back yard. The kids loved coloring the Easter eggs though after dipping them in every color imaginable, they all sort of looked different shades of brown! The kids got some beach toys in their Easter baskets so we had to go to the beach and try them out. They love digging in the sand and hanging out at the beach so the toys were a huge hit!

Our babies turned 4!!! It’s hard to believe that Gabe and Zara have grown so much in 4 years. They are smart, funny, and energetic and bring so much joy to our lives. We can’t imagine our lives without them!
March was full of fun activities. We celebrated Gabe & Zara’s birthday at home with their favorite treat – a doughnut then we had a great celebration after school at their favorite play area. We had so much fun celebrating with our friends.

We also enjoyed many trips downtown to ride the trolly and the monorail and to go swimming at the gym. The kids love to swim and are not afraid of the water.
