another hike cause why not?

This time we went up Hog Hollow.

Hiking seems to be the only thing to do with 2 kiddos under the age of 4.

And we're getting ready for Trek.

Killing two birds with one stone essentially.

Booyah!

a hike in march

 On Saturday we decided to take it to the hills and take a family hike.  But silly us, from that random snow storm on Tuesday, the trail was a little (a lot) muddy.  But we loved the warm weather on our backs and the smell of fresh of air.  There's totally a smell. 

We loved our Saturday that was finally free for all of us.  I hope Spring weather decides to stay.

my weekend favorites

 That face,

 Jake came back from his business trip and Myer was glued to his hip,

 Accidentally all matching in coral,

and walks with my 3 favorite people.

I do not like Mondays.

tulips, tulips, tulips

I've lived in Utah all my life and this is the first time I've been to the tulip festival.  I even worked at Thanksgiving Point for a time and still didn't get a chance to go.  Sad I know.  But why not experience it the first time with your two kids??  So it all worked out.  We were blown away by all the colorful tulips.  Myer called it the "Flower Gym" because it was so big.  We spent the afternoon exploring, Myer led the way with his map, and Lennon just hung out in the wrap.  I am seriously considering buying a season pass to Thanksgiving Point because we can't stay away.

all things easter

 First we hit up the Easter Egg hunt with our cousins.  What?  You don't go egg hunting in your lion beanie?  As we were leaving in the morning I called out to Myer, "Ok Myer let's get ready to go!" and he came running out of his room "ready to go" with that beanie on.  Classic Myer.  But his cute cousin Navy showed up in a tutu so apparently it was a costume party as well.  I love this age.

 

Then of course Easter Sunday. Myer got some train tracks and Lennon got a doll.  We found the eggs the Easter Bunny hid (which was only 6) and somehow made it to church on time. 

And p.s. I didn't know that our tree outside our bedroom sprouted flowers in the spring time.  I wonder what other surprises we'll see this spring in our new place.  Happy Easter!

our "spring break"

Just because we're not in school or work full time, doesn't mean we can't have our own Spring Break.  We went on bike rides, played at Farm Country, had a picnic at the park, and a playdate with our cousins.  And we got our first sunburns for the season.  I'll chalk that one up as a successful spring break!

and just like that

We're back to spring like winter never happened.

Myer picked up right where he left off--with the red car.

Remember the red car?  

The one he pushed around, never rode in?

As soon as it was warm, 

he found that thing and started on his usual route.

His memory is amazing.

And I must say,

spring picked up right where it left off too.

It was so warm last week, the snow melted so quickly, 

and I never even felt a chill in the air.

I like this quick memory recall.

It's good for my health.
