Together........

is a wonderful place to be! Through all of the trials and struggles that life seems to throw our way at times, I can't help but feel grateful for all that we have. Times are crazy and sometimes my kids are even crazier, but I know now more than ever that I wouldn't be able to achieve anything in this life without them!

My blogging efforts have been in short supply lately and I hope to do bettter, but for now here is a little bit of what "Us Hill's" have been up to.........

Taylor's preschool class had their 4th field trip of the year to the Goodyear Fire station.

Back in March I ran my first 5k race with a few girls in my ward. Pretty much just showed up that morning, registered and ran it! It was FUN!

Hayden LOVES to climb and fit wherever she can. Her adventures continue to improve each day and we have to watch her very closely these days to see where she might end up!

In march, we went to a Germaine family reunion out at Norm & Cara's "Barn" and had a great time visiting with everyone and letting the kids play.

We have really been wanting to go camping as a family these days, but since we no longer have a tent that can fit our growing family we will just have to wait until we can invest in a new LARGE tent. We each made our own tinfoil dinners one night at home to somewhat create a "camping"experience!

I often get asked if the girls play well together now that Hayden is getting older. The answer is definitely YES! These girls LOVE each other and I smile non-stop at what their sweet little imaginations come up with!

This is basically what happens when Jordan walks in the door from work each day. He will sit on the couch to take off his work boots and EVERYONE climbs on top of him because they LOVE him so much! I would be sitting there too, but I was taking the picture!

Balloons from lunch at Red Robin - I've never seen Hayden so happy holding her very own balloon!

The girls got kites for Easter and one windy evening we finally tried them out. They loved it!
