Monday!

What a great day!

Ira challenged liv to a game while I may lunch.






Emers loooooves bubbles....






There was painting....






Ira read me a couple books. There is nothin cooler than your baby reading to you. I mean, the baby that's about to turn 6!






We walked to the park when Jared got home...

Emers and his love of flowers.... Flowers and ducks. Those are the two thugs that he gets the most excited about. As we walk along the water he makes this quacking noise. So cute...




















Liv the spinning ballerina....






Park...



























I think they love each other...













Then we came home and Ira worked 5 pages of "explode the code". She is really amped up to learn to read to play scrabble with me on the iPad. Or words with friends with her aunt in Vegas.

Redwoods and trains and games....

We went to hike in some redwoods....

Emers was too excited.



Can you tell we miss sunny Arizona?!



Train! We took a train ride up through the redwoods to bear mountain. I LOVED the open air ride. Well, minus the spider that fell on me.



Liv did not Like the whistle! It was loud! Terrified Emers too!



Hilarious picture.
Ira- always smiling.
Liv- covering ears
Me- always with sun in my eyes and me making a face.











Ira definitely enjoyed herself...







Liv got a little antsy towards the end- she was ready to RUN!







Then we went home, had a snack, facetimed with our new newborn nephew and started GAME NIGHT!





Ira so amused with the fact that she is winning (and not because we werent trying).

Saturday

Ira made traffic signs....













We went for a walk- Ira complained that it was cold-






Liv saying "it's NOT!"






They were all being super silly....






The girls got to painting oceans....







Then masks....




















"make way! Butterfly coming through!!!!" she screamed.....






Ira styled hers to symmetrical perfection...













Ira made me my own....

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.

Sunny days...

We went for a walk to soak up some sun....





















Emers prefers to walk rather than ride in the ergo....






Liv brought her froggy....






She also stops a hundred times to look at everything.






We came home and painted...

Liv worked every color of paint we have.... It turned such a pretty color...






Ira painted a unicorn eating collard greens...






We used almost every brush too...






I painted this and we hung all three up in the kitchen...
