Painting Pinwheels for the Garden....







Spying on birds feeding at our birdfeeders....



Going for walks to watch all the ducks....



Liv said "take a picture of me by this bloom! It's as big as my head!"







Lots of pretty flowers....

Spring!

I know it's technically been spring for a little bit, but with all the rain we haven't felt it!

Today the sun was out early and we opened all the windows and got the breeze off the lagoon.

Beautiful.

Snapped a picture of the ever changing nature table. Dressed in spring.






Then Jared came home on his lunch hour and picked us up. We dropped him back at work and hit the beach!

It was amazing. Emers was unsure at first so I sat on the blanket with him for a while.... The girls got to work building mud houses and mud pies...













It didn't take too long for Emers to get with it....













Fully soaking himself in mud.

Spring in Arizona

Is beauuuuuutiful
8am and already sandbox weather



We wanted to go on a hike to see some wildflowers.. But jareds busy painting and hiking with three kids under 5 alone sounds like a lot of work. I'd probably end up wearing two and carrying the other:)

So we grabbed our old dog and went on a neighbourhood hike to seek out some wildflowers here....













The following pics are ira's- she said she was going to photograph everything interesting about our meighbourhood so that she will remember it when we move-



























By the end of the walk Jubei the old dog was exhausted....

Time is flying!!!!!

There has been so much! We are STILL prepping the house for sale. It's a slow slow process when one adult has a baby in arms all day with two ACTIVE kids. Poor jared has been up til the wee hours everynight.

We went to the park twice last week. So beautiful out. Ira was so excited to see friends. As was I.

Ira is back into watching her egyptian documentaries. She is fascinated. Cannot get enough information about ancient Egypt. When we were on Denver we visited a Egyptologist docent at the natural history museum- she was shocked at how much my 4 year old knew.... She retains it all so quickly too. Better than I, for sure.

We've also been back to bat watching at night. There seems to be quite a large "nest" in our immediate neighbourhood. Our street fills up with bats at dusk.

Some pics

Liv holding Emers. She is constantly saying, "I hold the baby now"



Ira the snow bird.......


Emers is waaaaay into his hands at the moment.....

Faerie drawing and name writing- she said "I forgot to leave enough room! Where do I put the A???"
