Spring

It got so nice out again here and we are loving it. We have all been craving some nature in our lives so went to a lake close by that has hiking trails. . .it was so fun! I'm in love with Stella's curiosity and Max's determination and it was so fun to be together with our little family.

 The rocks were sand stone . . .so we got to leave our mark :)

Max wanted to get his whole self in the lake so bad. He was splashing and throwing the tiny pebbles like crazy.

While we were hiking around Stella kept finding tiny treasures. 

Parry and Connie came to visit and we all loved it!

Holding on tight!!

A package came the other day and it's a good thing we kept the box. Stella calls it her new bed :) 

Dress ups and pop-sickles 

It's safe to say Max was a fan too

Our friends had a St. Patrick's day gold hunt on Saturday. It was SO FUN! Definitely going to be a new tradition. Basically you tell the kids that "last night a leperchaun came to our house and they lost all their gold! We need to collect it for them and return it to them!" Then they played irish music and the kids went and searched for the gold (which were gold spray painted rocks). Stella loved it (Max was sleeping during all the festivities!). After they collect all the gold, each kid dumps it all back in a bucket and then gets a goodie bag full of treats. Here is Stella running to get the gold!

Gold Digging  

Stella rode her scooter to the park - she's getting pretty good!

and Max got pushed on his pretend bicycle!
