Wordless Wednesday - New Glasses!

Easter 2012

Easter weekend Brian had to work until 2pm so after he got off we headed up to Fort Collins to celebrate Easter with GG.

We started off by coloring some eggs.

The next morning, Grace searched for eggs around the house. She had fun finding them so much we had to re-hide them again!

Helping ice the cinnamon rolls. Grace loves to help in the kitchen.

Ready to find eggs outside and go to church.

We had a wonderful Easter - we hope you did too!

Learning to Ride a Bike

Grace got a tricycle from Santa last year. It had been up at GG's house until recently since we didn't have a place to ride for a while, plus she couldn't quite reach the pedals. Now that she is a little taller and we have a place for her to ride, GG brought the bike down and Grace has been giving it a try. Grace is a stubborn kid when it comes to figuring things out herself. She often does not want help until she reaches her breaking point. One day after school she wanted to try to ride so we went out. In the video below you can hear her talking to the bike trying to get it to go. It was pretty cute. She got it figured out some, but  I think the mini hill on the sidewalk helped. I am betting by the end of summer she will be unstoppable on that bike!

At the end of the day, sometimes it is just easier to push your bike around!

Having Fun at Home

With the new house and a new mortgage, we often don't have the funds to go out exploring so lots of time is spent at home. We have lots of fun painting nails - even Brian's - and playing outside as much as we can. Grace LOVES her play set outside. The second the child wakes up - at 5:45 am mind you - she is ready and raring to go outside. We do love our house and have lots of fun together!

Grace would swing all day long if we let her.

We even got Grace some fish - she named them fish.

This is her new superman trick she learned from the neighbors. Now she can swing when mom and dad aren't outside.

Children's Museum

Towards the end of February (I know I've been horrible at blogging lately) we headed to the Children's Museum to check it out. Grace had lots of fun playing with trains, shopping in the grocery store they have, painting and tap dancing. She had a blast and while it got really busy towards the end of our visit and Grace got a bit overwhelmed, we still had lots of fun and I'm sure we will go back in the future.
