Sara Hair Drama!

Remind Sara to never dye her hair dark again.  YIKES!!  Someone suggested she would look good with dark hair so tried it out with Rex.  This was March 7:
But in the sunlight it looked really, really red and Sara just couldn't go to AZ for Spring Break with her hair like that.  So Rex agreed to lighten it.  Here is is  March 9:
Happy!  And again on March 10:
Happy but upon further inspection the back of her hair was orange!!!!!!  It wasn't good!!  Definitely couldn't go to AZ with orange hair.  UGH  So Alexis put a SOS out to her hair person and it was serendipity.  She could get Sara in the next day.  Check out the before and after on March 11:

Love, love, love!
So needless-to-say Sara has found a new hair person - Jaton.  Will take a few more appointments to get it back to regular but Sara has faith!  Even better on March 31:

Spring Break in AZ

Even though Arkansas winter is pretty mild, we were ready to head southwest to Arizona for Spring Break.  We had an early morning flight on Saturday so we drove to Tulsa, ate at our new favorite pizza place and spent the night at the Country Inn and Suites bc they have the airport shuttle.  Toby drove with Daddy and spent the night at a doggie hotel.  Like we said it was an early flight, Zzzzz...
As soon as we got to Grandma and Papa John's Ashley high-tailed it to change into her swimsuit!
And go in the pool!
After church on Sunday we went out for breakfast..silly kids and Papa!
Then we went to the park...



Later that day some of our friends were back from their Spring Break so we met up at Firefighter Park!
That night Mommy met up with Kristen for happy hour and her friends for dinner at Isabella's Kitchen!

The next day we hung out with Remy and Julie (and Julie's friend who was in town) for a while.  It was just like old times!
Then we headed down to Goodyear to spend a few days with Nana and Papa Steve!  We went to Verrado Golf Club for dinner!

Then we had lots and lots of fun with Nana, Papa and Uncle Don!






Early celebration for Mama's birthday too!



Then one night the kids and Mommy headed back to our old neighborhood to have a sleepover with the Feather's and so that Mommy and Katie could go out for wine night at Kristen's!  The next morning we walked to school with Jack and Claire so Trevor could re-live that and see some friends and Miss Michelle!




Then we went back to Nana and Papa's for some more fun before Trevor and Mommy went back to Fireside on Friday afternoon for a big playdate at the park and so Mommy could have wine with her old neighbors and friends and Trevor could have a sleepover with Gabriella!
What we didn't tell anybody - not even the kids - is that Daddy was flying in for the weekend!!!!  Trevor was so excited when Mr. Troy got back from getting Daddy and he saw him!  Pretty sure Daddy was excited for a getaway after dealing with car troubles in Tulsa that stranded him there for a bit.  But let's not remember all that hassle, UGH!
On Saturday morning we met Nana, Papa and Ashley at our old favorite donut place LeMars and surprised Ashley with Daddy!!

Then we said goodbye to Nana and Papa and said see you in MN in May!!! XOXOXO
Then we headed up Grandma and Papa John's where we surprised them!  We didn't get to catch Papa's reaction but he was shocked!
As was Grandma!

That night we had a gathering at the park.  Way too busy to take pictures but we did get one of Ashley, Remy and Remy's new BFF!  After that Papa and Grandma picked up the kiddos for special time and the Daddy's went to City North for a night out.  Mommy went to Becky's to catch up!
On Saturday Mommy, Grandma and Ashley headed to American Girl while the boys hit up Cracker Jax for go-kart, bumper boats and arcade fun!
Then that night we headed to Erica's for Charlotte's birthday!
Trevor of course was all about Mr. Mason.  He LOVES babies!
Then on Sunday it was time to head out!  Sadness!!!  We sure packed a lot into our week and enjoyed every single minute we got to spend with all of our family and friends!  Until San Diego Papa and Grandma...
The kids were super good for Mommy on the flight and the 2 hour drive from Tulsa to our house!
Because Daddy flew out of Springfield/Branson he had more time to spend with his parents!  They hit up Top Golf!  What a fun surprise - one for the memory books for sure!!!
