Easter Eggs

We are ready for Easter. The eggs are now dyed. Taylor (in her princess dress) was amazed by the whole egg coloring process. Ethan tried to destroy (help) too. We are very proud of our finished products and we didn't break a single one (we are not hard boiled egg fans so we colored regular eggs).






Butterflies

I had caterpillars in my classroom. They didn't come out of their chrysalis in time for my class to see so I had to bring them home over Spring Break. Luckily, Taylor got to see the butterflies come out. She was really fascinated by them. Greg was really impressed too.



New Bikes

For our birthdays Greg and I decided to get new bikes and a bike trailer. We have been having a blast riding around our neighborhood. The kids like the trailer as long as there are many snacks to eat inside it.





Run Plus Fun

We went to Run Plus Fun the other day. We went to a birthday party here a few weeks ago. Since it is Spring Break we thought it would be great to go here before we have to go back to work. Ethan loves to play in the baby area and Taylor loves to go down the huge slides.

On The Go

Ethan has been "walking" for what seems like months now. He'd take 2-5 steps and then fall down. Well now he's got it. It happened overnight. All of a sudden he can walk. He has the cutest waddle/walk I've ever seen. I am so happy he can finally do it. Almost all of his pants have holes in the knees from him crawling.

Greg's Birthday

Wednesday was Greg's birthday. Nana and Aunt Nikki came over to help us celebrate. Greg got a new food dehydrator from me and the kids. He's really excited to make some homeade beef jerky. Taylor and I made him a dirt cake too. Greg's been requesting it forever, so he was so happy to eat it.



California Beach Fun

We drove down to California for a quick getaway the other weekend with Greg's family. We had so much fun playing at the beach. The kids are so different its crazy. Taylor spent all her time in the sand building and jumping on sand castles. Ethan was obsessed with the water. He got drenched and tried diving into the ocean!



Hiking At Red Rock

The weather has been awesome lately. We went to Red Rock last week to take a little hike. This was the first time hiking with both kids. I have to say I liked it better when I didn't have to carry one of the kids. As if hiking is not hard enough already, try it with an extra 25 pounds on your back.



Ethan's First Birthday

Can't believe this little guy is one already. My how this year has flown by. He is quite the little rascal lately, but we love him more than words can express. We decided to celebrate his first birthday by throwing a big bash. Thankfully the weather was great and we had a blast. It was so nice of all of our friends and family to join us for his party.
