Friends...The Family You Choose :)

Not that I don't love my family....I do, very much! So ya'll don't get your panties in a bunch.

Easter was just SO much fun. We spent the day picnicking at the park. It all ended unfortunately with my camera and phone drowning in my purse. I soaked the camera in rice and it is functional. All pictures (or most anyways) were saved! Plus I ripped a bunch off of my friend's Facebook page! So better late than never. . . Happy Easter!

Emily's "high heels" too. She strutted around in these for days!

The ONLY wat to do Easter Eggs!

From now on this is the only way are decorating Easter Eggs in our house. I am a genius! What took so long to figure this out???

Strolling Along

We have been trying to find a day to check out the Spring's Preserve since it opened almost 2 years ago. We even bought our annual pass a month ago and still hadn't found a free, non-windy day since then! BUT is a great place for us to slow life down a bit and just take a stroll through the gardens and have a picnic with our little family.

We have also been inspired to start composting and gardening...a new hobby? Really.

Hmmmm...

Red Red Rocks, Blue Blue Sky

Photo Op!

We met up with a bunch of friends to take a day hike in Red Rock on a gorgeous spring day. We loaded the trails with 5 adults & 9 kiddies!

We knew we were in for a treat when the girls in our car started making up song on the way there. (read: needed motrin) The kids all had a blast!

Surprisingly only one kid fell in the water!
