March 2021

March was so fun! It started to warm up around here so we could do some fun Spring activities and we went to AZ with all my siblings!

We got to do several hikes with the siblings!

Sloan came along for the trip and was a good trooper on the adventures. Aaron got some dad practice in carrying her around.

Sedona is so so pretty!

The whole gang in Sedona!

Sloan took a nap on Aaron like that on one hike :/

Cutie girl loving the playground. It was pretty cold during the trip but on the last day we got some time in Phoenix and it was much warmer there!

We went to the Grand Canyon one day. It was pretty cold but still so pretty!

My siblings were so nice and threw us a little baby shower with the best treats and gifts. We were so surprised! It was so thoughtful!

We had so much fun meeting up with everyone in Flagstaff, AZ! Addy, Aaron and I flew in from the East Coast, Derek flew from OR, Shellyne and Jed drove from UT and Kayla flew from UT (after dropping Everett off at his Aunt & Uncle's house). It was so nice to have everyone together and get to spend some time exploring and playing lots of games!

Aaron and I have been considering living in AZ so we decided to go and visit Tucson for a few days after our trip with the siblings to see what we thought. We did some hiking and neighborhood exploring and eating. It was so fun and the perfect weather!

Aaron trying to not burn his forehead and shoulders??

Saguaro National Park!

One night we went to this fun outdoor restaurant and just had a drink and enjoyed the live music downtown!

One night we did a taco tour because we wanted to try as many tacos as possible during our time there. So we went to three different places and got 1 or 2 tacos at each. It was so fun and delicious!

Aaron said this was the best thing he has ever eaten so that was the winner of the trip.

Also had to get some treats before we left. We got some Pandulches and fresh tortillas.

We went up to Mt. Lemmon one day to do some hiking. It has some amazing views!

Weirdly had a lot of snow on one of the trails we did so it was a little sketchy but we made it!

Visiting the University of AZ

Have to get a Senoran Hot Dog in Tucson - they even had a veggie version for me!

Visiting some model homes and showing off a 28 week bump!

We had a ton of fun in AZ and can't wait to go back one day - maybe we will even live there :)

Back at home - I think this was before the trip so maybe a 26 week bump?

The season of bike races every weekend morning for Aaron.

The first weekend it felt "warm" we went up to Shenandoah National Park for some hiking! It was pretty but randomly very icy so we had some adventurous trails :)

It was fun to get out and in nature though, despite the coldness :)

Disc golfing and maybe a 29 week baby?

Cherry Blossoms coming in!

Adventures with the bikes :)

Cleaning the bikes and getting doughnuts.

Visit number 2 to Dr. Miller. I got a nice cleaning.

Pretty sunrise on the river!

Foggy morning on the river. My goal was to run at least until the third trimester with this baby and even though I can only run 1.5 -2.5 miles these days before she makes me feel like I will pee my pants, I am proud of myself for still running. It may be slow and a struggle, but I still try a few times a week. I always get some good comments and looks.

Deer on one of my lunch walks - where we live is the best!

March was such a good month! We are loving the spring weather and cannot wait for things to keep warming up!
