Crazy fun and relaxing Spring Break!

Kelsey and I had a fun day during Spring Break where we put in some well-deserved GIRL TIME!!!  We went shopping!!

We hit Nordstrom Last Chance and a few other stores but didn't find what we were looking for until we hit Urban Outfitters downtown Phoenix.  It was SO fun!!!
One of our most favorite days during Spring Break was our family hike on Camelback Mountain.  (Kohler was in Mexico with Keaton's family--- we missed him)
It was super fun to climb up and see the views, especially since we live in a really flat city with hardly any elevations.  


This is my favorite picture of the day.  I love how these two little guys are best friends!


Yes, we even took our little dog, Rider.  He was on Cloud Nine!!  He was literally PULLING whoever was holding his leash UP the mountain.  I've never seen a dog more excited to be out.  I just love this picture because out of all the children, Rider's favorite is Kelsey.  He ADORES her and that's probably because she gives him the most love.  It was Kelsey who really wanted him in the first place.  


Then, mid-week, we all headed down to our Orthodontic Office to video the one, the only . . . Chamberlain Orthodontics Harlem Shake!  You can view it on youtube.  It's hilarious!  We even recruited my little nieces, Maya and Eden, and my nephew, Nate.  We all dressed up and filmed it in less than one hour.  What a blast!



Here is another view of our Chamberlain Ortho car :)  LOVE IT
Spring Break around our house, if the weather cooperates, plays host to a swimming party every year.  It was beautiful weather and we decided to heat the pool and jacuzzi so the kids could invite their friends over for a fun afternoon.  


There were water guns shooting everywhere and kids having a ball!

Of course, if you come to our house for a swim party, we gotta break out the shave ice as well!!!  Sooooooooo good!

A full sink of flower cups means good times were had!

Here's our little nod to St. Patrick's Day.  We had the sister missionaries over for dinner and made Irish Soda Bread (which was really good btw), Colcannon potatoes (bacon, sauteed cabbage, cheese, onions-yummy!) and roasted pork with cinnamon apples (not really Irish but so delicious!)
