"Down the Hill"

We broke away from my family's St. Patty's day party to enjoy a walk "down the hill." This was the first walk of the season and the weather was perfect. We found this cool tree as we were walking back. We named it the bench tree.
We were on our way across the dam. The little guy LOVED looking at Papa's lake. He kept pointing and yelling, "Woah! Wa, Wa!"
So much fun can be had at a creek. He had a great time throwing rocks. He only hit Papa with a wild throw one time. Papa was not too pleased with that. :)
She enjoyed balancing her way across the little rock path Papa made for her. She didn't mind getting her feet a little wet.
On top of the water play, we saw a lizard, salamander, and a fuzzy caterpillar. I look forward to many, many more walks down the hill with my kiddos!

St. Patty's Parade

Awesome day for a parade!

Picture Time!

Uncle Mat came and took some more milestone pics....
I can't believe she is 4 already. She is becoming such a little girl. Her little baby face is starting to look all like a big girl. At 4 years old, she LOVES rainbows, wearing dresses and anything "pretty."
She loved getting her pics taken..such a natural. She has come so far from her teary eyed baby pics. She's growing up too fast!



Then there's this little guy. He is also growing up too fast. He's now 18 months. At 18 months, he loves to say "No", wear snow boots, climb, and run around outside with the "oggies" (dogs).
He wasn't as sure about the pics but still had a good time with them...as long as bribed him with chocolate. :)
