My new favorite thing...

I love to wear my daddy's belts, though they fit twice around me. Today I chose his green one :)

Happy Easter!!

Today Jacob took part in his first Easter egg hunt in the backyard. Last year he was too little, but he sure had a great time finding all the brightly colored eggs this year. Daddy did a fantastic job hiding them in all Jacob's favorite spots.

Finding his first egg

On my t-ball stand...hmmm that looks like a ball, maybe I should do something with that egg...

Found my bat...then comes the first of a few cracked eggs :)

Hey, daddy hid some in my bucket & dumptruck too!



Ok, I've had enough of the egg hunt...time to mow the lawn!

Happy Easter Everyone !!!

Dying Easter Eggs with Sonja & Clayton !!

Today we had an easter egg dying playdate with Sonja & Clayton. The boys mostly watched as we did the coloring...but they seemed to have fun :) Sonja brought along some cool natural dyes made from onion skins, blueberries, & tumeric. Can't wait for the easter egg hunt on Sunday!

Showing off our brightly colored eggs

After the boys got bored with the eggs (or rather not being able to touch the eggs!), they loved being pushed around in the bike trailer

Phoenix Zoo with Warners

On Saturday Aunt Tracey & Cousin Jared came down from Flagstaff for a visit. We had a great time at the zoo & playing at Daley Park. Jacob loves playing with his cool older cousin :)

Moo!!!

The orangutans are a favorite for us all :)

Playdate in the wash

Grandma Tilla & Sparky joined Jacob & I for an AP playdate at South Mountain. We hiked in a ways, then played in one of the washes.

Coper goes to Ocala!

We spent last week in Ocala, FL visiting with Grandpa Ron & Nana Jill (Kipper the dog too!) Jacob had so much fun chasing Kipper in the fields, visiting the many horses next door, pushing his stroller all around the property, & going to the Silver Springs Park. The week went by way too quick, but we all had a great time :) Thank you Nana Jill & Grandpa Ron for a wonderful vacation.
