fun filled weekend

We enjoyed a beautiful day out at the Red Butte Gardens, Mary wanted to smell every flower and play in all of the fountains.

                                                   Smelling the pretty flowers!

                                     picture taken right before she ripped this poor lilac apart

     Little stinker wouldn't give me a smile, she was ticked at me for taking her away from the lilacs.

                                     Such cute fountains, there was another one but with a lizard.

              She is quick! I take a couple of pictures and she runs away wanting to go up the stairs

     Eating berry smoothies, rocking on what was my rocking horse as a babe while I do laundry

                                  "Mom, you're in my way of watching Sesame Street."

Sunday Fun day

Most Sundays are spent visiting at GG's house (Great Grandma) We love going there to eat her home cooked meals and catching up with the great grandparents and MJ's great uncle Tracy. Today Aunt Rachel came to play along with Grandma Ruth! It was gorgeous outside! GG just got home from visiting her sister and brought back the cutest toy for Mary. It's a cat that repeats everything you say in a little voice, MJ is obsessed and loves it.
               Giving the kitty kisses.

Playing with her new cars I bought for her, she loves to make the sound of cars when driving them on the ground. I bought her the police car, ambulance, fire truck and of course the pink ice cream truck. Definitely pulled on her daddy's heart strings. He has high dreams of teaching her all about cars one day haha.

                                                  Who are you calling MJ?

                                            Sharing her car with GG

 
Mary wasn't the only one to get spoiled from GG. She brought back a ton of jewelry that her sister gave her. I was in jewelry heaven picking out my favorite pieces. Hello my new beauties! Thank you Martha!!

little chalk artist

After our walk this evening we had some extra time before I put MJ down so I pulled out the chalk for the first time. She thought it was so fun to draw on the side walk. Perfect way to end the day.

Easter 2013

Easter is so much more fun having a little one to spoil. Well more like holidays in general are so much more fun with kids. We started with the morning waiting for Mary to wake up to find her trail of candy that leads to her basket. She was so excited to see the candy and shoved one in her mouth right away, foil and all. She did her raptor squeal when she saw her basket of goodies enjoying the cheddar bunnies, raisins and some candy in there. She also got some books, an outfit, a coloring book and a fun pair of socks. Such a fun morning!

                                   A picture where you can actually see her top teeth!

                                               It was gorgeous out! Absolutely perfect weather.
