March Recap

This post is long overdue, but better late than never!  Right??  Right!

March is pretty much the best month to live in Phoenix. The weather is starting to warm up but it is still plenty cool  in the evening. We spend a lot of time outside in March and this year was no different.  We went hiking, ate dinner outside, went to spring training games, went to the park, watched Hayden play soccer, and even had a picnic.

Hayden continued with her spring soccer season and did so well. During the first half of the season she scored in every single game she played. She ran fast, was up and down the field, and complained when she had to sit on the sidelines. This was quite the change from the fall season where we had to bribe her to play every weekend.  One day after soccer practice she pulled off her shin guards and said "Mommy, my legs are stinky! Smell them!" I said, "Ewww!! I don't want to smell your stinky legs." So then she said, "No, Mom. I was just kidding! My legs smell like cherries! Smell them!"  So I leaned in and smelled them and then we laughed and laughed. Silly girl.

Anabelle started hardcore potty training in March. After a "false start" in the middle of February she decided in March that she was ready to start wearing panties and using the toilet. And she was such a little rock star. She just figured it out and has been doing so well. She still wears a pull up at night but she pretty much has the daytime routine nailed. Our baby is getting so big and independent!  Her hair was finally getting long enough to put into two little pigtails too so even her overall look has changed and she looks like such a big kid.

During the middle of the month Hayden's school was closed for Spring Break and Grandma and Grandpa took her two days that week for some time hanging out. They went out for breakfast, took Chorney on a hike and went swimming in their pool. Hayden was exhausted by the end of the day (I think Grandma and Grandpa were too!) and she had so much fun hanging out with them.

We celebrated St Patrick's Day with green milk, lucky charms, green waffles, and Mexican food (nothing says Happy St Patrick's Day like enchiladas and margaritas!) We also celebrated Easter in March with Easter eggs, cute dresses and brunch with Grandma and Grandpa. At last but not least we had an awesome visit from Pop mid-month, which I'll share in a separate post.

So much stuff going on in March, but so much fun time spent together!  Check out some of our favorite pictures from the month and also our pictures from Easter!
