Early Easter

The whole Buckway fam was together last week, and since we weren't going to be for the real-deal Easter, we decided to do our own week-early bash.

First, the egg hunt...


Adi's hair had definitely seen better times.



Lil' cousin Katelynn.



Pipes acting crazy...



And Miss Adi reaching for the hard-to-get ones...


Aunt Whitney created the centerpieces.

Aren't they yummy?



And Uncle Chris was the head cook...



Well, not really, but you gotta love this pic!

It's a Wonderful Vacation: Part 2

After Thatcher, we headed "into town", and finally got to experience an awesome Arizona winter. Do not be fooled by the coat that Whitney is wearing, it. was. WARM.



The kiddos loved it 'cause they finally got in some outside play (which has been severely restricted since October here). I forgot how much we all love parks.

And I think the think most often said at the park this day was, "Pull down your shirt, Adi!"



Here is Whitney showing off her new iPhone (oh yes, I so did post this Whit. That's for rubbing in your new device's awesomeness).



And Porter finally got to use his new "skate" (as he calls it).



New Years Eve, my bro Zach and his family came over for ham and fun. Once Katelynn got there, the girls ran up into the loft and we didn't see them the rest of the night (although we did hear them).



And I finally got to get in some serious snuggle time with Mr. Leland.



Porter thought "baby" was pretty cool. Until he hit him. Then Porter started saying, "No hit, baby."



And here is Miss Whit rubbing in their winning streak in round one of Shout Out About Movies. But that's ok... who whooped on round two again?



Miss Katelynn was the only kiddo to make it all night...



We were having an epic photo shoot at the park. Or at least trying to. The kids weren't cooperating too well.



Don't you love the look on his face? This kid seriously loves swings.



Right before I was kicked in the face...



Miss Pipes in all her glory.



Adi playing shy...



Right after this, OP called and said we had to leave.

Stink.

There were so many fun things and family we hung out with that I didn't get pictures of, but I will do better in April when we come down again...

You know, right before it starts getting HOT.

Arizona Trip, Part 2

We went to Whit's House next... where I got really sick :( The kids had a great time though, and by Friday I was feeling much better. These are the only pics I got and they're from Friday & Saturday, but we all had a great week!

Porter dominating Chris,

Roasting marshmallows outside,

Little Miss Katelynn,

Chris was our entertainment (sorry Chris, but I had to post this pic),

This pic is dark, but I still love it,

The ever-elusive pic of me,

Playing cards,

Here's Adi apologizing for making fun of Whit's fake grass,

Whit and I comparing who has the whitest legs. Sadly, I think I won,

Chris got their neighbor who is a paramedic to show the kids her ride,

The girls were wanting to swim the whole time we were there, but the weather just wasn't as warm as it needed to be... until Saturday that is.

I love this pic of Pipes

Fun, Fun, FUN! I have decided that we are going to move back. I don't know how, but I will find a way!
