April fun in the sun...

Ellie... eating.... naaaa....
Friday we went to Garden of the Gods (A local park)... We took a short hike. Don't you just love Ethan's scowl and Ellie's calm objection to being held?
They both had a blast climbing around ( despite the above picture). Ellie is budding into quite the little rock climber. She cried whenever we tried to hold her hand , and fell a couple of times... but got right back up.
I couldn't have a post of us hiking without slipping in a gorgeous vista. We are accepting reservations for the season. Please contact management to inquire about vacancies.

Daddy's home!

When Daddy comes home, Ellie gets so excited. She runs to him and hugs his legs.... Awe so sweet.

Ellie was so proud of her "Big Stack"
Today Ellie said "flower"... She has really been trying to repeat a lot of words.

Big Ginger

OK, So I worked at our big MOPS bargain sale this weekend. We took the kids up to it to pick out one new toy. And, of course, this is what they picked out. It was only $10- too good to pass up.

Yesterday, we went to our friend Kristal's house for a play time. The kids had fun. Except when we had to leave. Ethan is struggling with obeying mommy when we are out with friends. We are trying to work on that.

This morning the race was on! They both are in a good mood this morning- yes! It so rarely happens that they are both happy at the same time. .... and getting along. You know mommies. Its cold and snowy today (I think) So homebound we are.

Helper

My little helper.

Ethan and I made spaghetti and meat balls last night for dinner. Yum Yum.

Today was a gorgeous day here in Colorado Springs. The kids are sad to see Mimi and Papa go tomorrow. We've had lots of fun and can't wait to visit everyone in May.

This was Ellie's practice for future pageant parades. Ha!

(we are still working on her poise)

Beautiful day

Ellie has discovered sliding down head first. Wahoooo!
