Springtime fun

Now that I'm (Colette) working a 4x10 schedule (4 days a week, 10 hour days), I have every Friday off. So we're taking advantage of our nice AZ weather (while we've got it) and have gone to the Phoenix Zoo and Desert Botanical Garden the past two Fridays.

Zoo:

This was Evelyn's first official outing that wasn't to the doctor's office, so we tried to get a picture of the girls all together, but Chloe was being 2 that day and didn't really want her picture taken.

Garden:

The garden had the Chihuly exhibit and the butterfly garden on display. The girls LOVED the butterflies, although Chloe wasn't too thrilled when they actually landed on her, but Rebecca couldn't have been happier!

Rebecca playing hockey

We signed Rebecca up for a free 4 week hockey clinic this past month and she loved it! She started out not knowing how to skate and by the end of the 4 weeks she was able to "skate" (a combination of marching and skating), but more importantly, she was able to stand up on the ice after falling down, all by herself. A big accomplishment for her! Here are some pictures:
