The Zoo

Finley is finally getting a grasp on going to the Zoo. She loves seeing all the animals and making the sounds they make. I took Fin to the zoo with her cousin Stella and they were more fun and entertaining to watch then the animals. Anytime Stella would wander off, Fin would follow and say 'Stella where you going? Come back." They are becoming the best of friends. I am so enjoying this sunny warm weather. It's not fair to tease us with such wonderful goodness to only say we may get mountain snow and valley rain again. 


Tea Party for 2

Finley got a cute little tea set for her birthday and she loves it. Everyday while I'm working she sets it all up and goes and gets her bear or other dolls and has a tea party. If I'm not able to sit in she will bring me a cup and saucer to make sure I'm not left out. She's so grown up and I love watching her play.

How the Years Change Us

It's amazing how much we can change in a year's time. Finley no longer looks like a baby, she's an official toddler. I can't believe how much hair she has now either.  Easter was once again a great day, lots of candy, food, and great company.

Last year matching dresses were provided by my father in law, and yet somehow, this year my sister in law and I managed to by the SAME Dress for our girls. These were purchased at two different times, and two different stores without even knowing the other had bought it. I guess they say great minds think alike.

The afternoon was spent outside with Finley learning to blow bubbles,
Cousin Stella wanting the bubbles, 
Uncle Hunter giving both the girls a ride on the trike.

So Many Postings

Sorry for the overloading of postings, but I figured I'd catch up on all that has happened in the last couple weeks.

Easter 1

While we were in St. George Grandma Beth did a cute little Easter hunt for the girls. Finley thought it was fun to find little treats around the yard. She got a book, treats, stuffed duck, and a cute little dress. Thank you Grandma Beth!

Cute little girls

St. George was so much fun this weekend even with having cold wet weather half the time. It's so fun watching Finley and Stella playing together and teaching each other new things.

 I found the matching umbrella to Fin's rain coat and boots and couldn't resist. She loves it! 
No matter the weather Fin likes being outside
How cute are Stella and Fin on their matching bikes and rain gear?

So much fun together and all tuckered out from a busy day

Cholla Challenge

This last weekend Brian had his second bike race of the season. The Cholla Challenge in Hurricane. The team looked really good in their new kits and hot Scott bikes. Bri felt really strong and did well despite the fact that his crank kept coming loose and having to stop and tighten it. The team did well and is strong. Good job boys.
