easter and savanna's bday weekend!

we've had fam in town this past week from both sides. bren's parents came to do some fun spring time things, we went to a spring training game and carter was seriously in heaven! we stayed for the whole game! i never thought that would happen. he was yelling and cheering for both teams. i think it was the cubs vs the giants. we want to try and go again soon! they stayed at an awesome marriott in phx, so we played at the pool n stuff there! the weather has been high 80's so it's been really nice and not too hot! we had a big easter slash savanna's 1st bday party yesterday and it was soooo fun! thanks so much for all the help of everyone! we made cupcakes, cookies, 2 hams, fruit & veggie platters, corn, mashed potatoes, mac n cheese, there was plenty of food to say the least! but savanna is only gonna have her bday on easter this one time, so we had to go BIG! everything seemed to go over well and the weather outside was perfect! i can't believe my little baby girl is 1! i'm gonna do a memory lane post for savanna next! so here are some pics of our fun doings!
savanna had been running a temp most of the weekend, so that was kinda sad, but here is a precious moment of her sleeping in my arms. (the ladies next to us were super nice and chatty)!

carter in amazement of the game!

bren's fam

laura and ava came into town on thurs for the weekend and it was so fun to have them stay w/ us! carter couldn't get enough of ava or laura for that matter! carter and ava had soooo much fun playing together!
