Delta - A Little Taste of Spring

We were so tired of the cold weather a few weeks ago that we decided to head down south and a little west to visit Todd and Mick in Delta. Kevin was dying to golf and Todd was holding his first tournament of the year at his golf course, so Kevin decided to play in it and the girls and I tagged along.
We had such a great time and had such good weather. The girls loved playing with their cousins. We could hardly get them to come inside it was so nice outside. I didn't want to come inside either it was so nice. Isn't that just the look of pure happiness on Lillian's face? Finally sunshine!

Mick and I took 5 kids under the age of 4 to the park. Are we a little crazy? It is very possible. We had children that were ages: 4, 3, 2, 1, and 4 months. Yep, crazy.
Thank goodness for the Sun Chips. No, really they were very well behaved. That is except for Isabelle...

She looks beautiful and innocent but she is full of fire that one. Last year at Mack Park she fell from the very top landing on the playground. It was seriously one of the scariest things for me as a mother. She has absolutely no fear. So as you can imagine I am a little overprotective of her now that I know what can happen to her. There was a huge slide at this park and she kept trying to climb up and go down. I had to chase her up and then go down with her because I was scared she would fall. She really needs a healthy dose of fear. You would think a fall off the playground would do that.

P.S. Any ideas of how to get rid of a most beloved binky? For both mom and baby. I have to admit I also love the binky, but she is almost 2 and I guess it is getting time to give it up, any thoughts?

We really had high hopes of this picture turning out, but you can't really see the kids very well. Oh well, it's still pretty cute.

Thanks again Todd and Mick for all the fun. You have such a great family and we had a wonderful time!

Shabby Apple - Lillian

Lillian is upwards and downwards, frontwards and backwards - all girl. She is truly a princess at heart. She is so sincere, thoughtful, kind, and most of all, fun. She loves all things girl, but she also loves to golf with her dad. It amazes me how a little girl can have so much heart and so much character. She is definitely one of our little princesses. We love you Lily-bug.

Shabby Apple - Isabelle

Isabelle is my ambitious and crazy princess. She is all dress ups, jewels, and dolls. But she is also funny, a little wild, and she definitely knows what she wants. What is more princess than that, right? She is beautiful and bright, curious and adventurous, and we love her.

I Am Freezing! Let's Go Feed the Ducks!

Seriously? It is March 12 and it is currently 25 degrees at 2:21 PM. Seriously? Seriously! I am a little bit depressed by the present weather of Cache Valley. To help us beat the winter (almost spring but feels like winter!) blues, we had lunch with some friends and went to feed some ducks to cheer us up.
Here is my little diva in her sunglasses. We have to be prepared because even though it feels like the North Pole, it is sunny outside.

My girls have cabin fever just as bad as I do, so we set off for the great outdoors. It is actually beautiful outside; if you have on a very large coat, some mittens, and maybe a hat. Even though it was cold we beat it with good friends, laughter, and a couple of ducks.

Here is Harrison and Isabelle. She obviously didn't have a lot of patience for pictures. She was ready to feed some ducks.

Here is Lillian and Claire feeding the ducks and fish actually. The food landed on this thin sheet of ice that you could see through. So the fish would see the food and try to eat it, but they couldn't because the ice was in the way. It actually really funny; maybe you had to be there. Don't worry we got some to the fish too.

Claire shed her coat in favor of her t-shirt. Go Claire! Maybe that will get spring to come here faster. Yes, it was cold but we had a great time! Thank goodness for good friends or I think I would become a little crazy in the winter, more so than I already am!
