Go Arizona Rattlers

We also went to the Arizona Rattlers game on Saturday night.  It was the first time that I had seen arena football, and it was actually pretty fun.  There were lots of pyrotechnics, and it was a little loud and crazy.  Caden loved it!

Baseball

Caden had his first coach pitch baseball game on Saturday, and he did a great job!  He hit the ball every time that it was his turn!  Matt is also having fun being the head coach and practicing with Caden during the week.

Father & Son Camp Out

Matt and Caden went to our ward's annual father son campout last weekend.  They had fun hiking, and were freezing in the tent at night.  I got a pedicure and manicure while they were gone. :)

Green Smoothies

I have been making green smoothies for breakfast the past few weeks.  They are actually really good.  I try to mix things up a little, but I always include kale and spinach.  It's a great way for Caden to get his veggies!

Kids Club

We've been going to the kids club at Superstition Springs lately, and last week Caden even got to meet the Easter bunny!

From My Garden

They are even more special because Matt and Caden picked them for me. :)

Car Wash

Caden was so excited to go through the drive thru car wash!  He wanted to go again right away, but when we told him that the car isn't dirty anymore he wanted to go home and get Matt's car.  Every time that we drive by that gas station now he gets all excited about it being the gas station with the car wash.  He makes everything a lot more fun!   

Spring Break Fun!

Caden was on spring break from preschool the last two weeks, and we had lots of fun!

We made homemade slime.  Caden loved this, and he has played with it everyday since we made it.

We did a science experiment to see if the bag would leak when it was poked by a pencil, and it did not.

We made a snake chain.

We made homemade bouncing balls.  This experiment was a little disappointing.  They didn't bounce very high and they lost their shape.  Oh well, it was still fun to make them.

We saw Mr Peabody and Sherman at the movie with Grandma Nancy.  Caden also got to see Walking with Dinosaurs at the movie theater with daddy.

We went swimming at Mesquite Groves Pool 3 times.  It was heated!

We did the elephant toothpaste experiment.

Caden painted a rainbow using marshmallows for St. Patrick's Day.

I think he had more fun playing in the paint though!

We had a play date at the park with Caden's friend Porter.

We made Kool Aid play dough which smelled awesome!

We read all of these book plus some, and Caden did an awesome job writing them all down!

We did an exploding bag science experiment.

We went to the kids club at Superstition Springs mall twice.

We ate ice cream at Coldstone,. Yum!

Caden also made macaroni art.

The Zoo

Matt had a few days off this week, so we decided to go to the zoo on Tuesday.  We haven't been there in awhile because our zoo membership expired in November.  The weather was beautiful, and the animals were all pretty active.

Fire Station Tour

Caden and I went on a tour of the fire station near our house with a preschool group that we are a part of.  The kids were so excited!  Caden was the only one that knew you are supposed to stop, drop, and roll if your clothes catch on fire.  

Caden and his buddy Porter.

The fireman got a call while we were there, so they ended up having to leave.  Luckily we stuck around chatting long enough that another crew showed up and continued the tour for us.

They got to see that the fireman isn't scary with all of his gear on.

This fireman was cracking me up because he was talking to Caden about how Caden fixes his hair.
