Rec Center

Winter has been dragging on and I am over it!  Yesterday, I was ready to get out of the house and find some new toys so we headed to the playroom at the rec center!  It's a great little area set up for pretend play and the kids LOVED it (for about an hour then we had to find other activities to fill our day.)

Eden doing what she does best....throwing the ball and shouting "ba!"

Little Miss Milan. 

 This was the nest that Milan made......Eden thought it was pretty neat too!

Milan likes to use the "gymnastics mats" for all of her tricks! 

I am soooo ready for constant warm weather......bike rides, walks, the park, walking leisurely to the truck without worrying about the wind, and spray parks!

What a difference!

Saturday was beautiful so we all walked to the park and enjoyed the sunshine.  Milan has been loving her new bike (thanks grandpa Bob!) and Eden's pretty content cruising around in the stroller.

Eden found a new way to go down the slide.  She is getting to be a great little climber at the park so I think this summer will be a lot of fun!

Today, we woke up to tons of snow!  (Where the heck is spring?!?)  So we put on our snow gear and made the best of it!

Dave and I built a little snowman family while Milan named them (the dad's name is Frosty, the mom is Snow Princess, and the baby is Alice Scott.)   

Snow Angels 

This weekend we also had a fun brunch, played family tag, built a fort, relaxed, Dave surprised me with "just because" flowers, and I went out to dessert with some friends.  I love weekends!

Swimming Lessons

Milan loves swimming but HATES water in her eyes so we thought swimming lessons would be a good idea (and hopefully pretty fun).  She had her first lesson yesterday and she is already putting her face in the water.  (Yay!)

Working on her back float.

Blowing bubbles.

Eden was not content to sit and watch swimming lessons.  (She really tried to listen to me, but it was super hot inside the pool and she is so used to swimming at this pool so she decided to give it a try in her clothes....)

 She might have regretted it, when she had to sport this look home.  (I think she's pretty cute :)

Weekend Recap

We just had a GREAT weekend!  There was a brunch, furniture moving (okay, not super fun, but I do feel accomplished and we're totally set up for guests now :), swimming, playing at Burger King, movie with Dave, church, and dinner at a friend's house.  Of course, I didn't take any pictures this weekend, but here are my cute little girls doing something they LOVE! 

4-Wheeling

I was wife-of-the-year and planned a fun date for Dave.  We headed up to Vedauwoo for a little 4-wheeling excursion.

Our friends Mitch and Patty came with us and it was super fun!

Within the first five minutes of unloading the 4-wheelers, we got stuck.  After we got out of the deep snow and found some fun trails, we had a great time :) 

Children's Museum

Thursday, we were excited for St. Patrick's Day and Denver's Children Museum.  The leprechauns visited our house Tuesday night while we were still in Laramie....they brought cute headbands, necklaces, candy, and did some silly things to our house.  Aunt Marie also sent some super cute St. Patty's shirts. Thursday morning, the girls put on their cute gear and we headed to the Children's Museum.

Here's Milan and I in the hotel!

First stop in the museum was this fire truck.   Milan was busy exploring and Eden practiced her stair climbing skills.

We stopped and played with magnets for a while.

The bubble room was definitely the coolest area!

After some bubbles popped on Eden's head and she stepped in a big pile of solution, she decided she was done so we headed to their pretend play rabbit hole.

More climbing for Eden.

 Milan looked super cute in this little bunny costume.

 After the museum, we headed outside for the park.

 Eden loved this bridge....she was pretty cautious the first couple of times, then she was pretty proud of herself so she just kept walking back and forth.

After the park, we headed home with two exhausted little girls!

Denver Zoo

Wednesday was 71 degrees in Denver so we decided it would be the perfect day to walk around the zoo and enjoy the sunshine. 

The giraffes.  Milan though it was super interesting that one of the giraffes was in his cage for time-out.  She can relate.

 Checking out the lions.

Elephants.

Penguins.  Milan thought these guys were fascinating so we hung out for a while. 

 Eden checking out the Anteater.  Can't blame her, they are really cool!  We surprised Eden with these squeaky shoes and everyone we walked by thought she was pretty dang cute. 

Pushing the stroller was Eden's favorite part of the whole trip.  Both girls need to work on their steering skills.  Luckily, nobody seemed to mind.

Checking out the monkeys.  One of the monkeys started hissing and jumping at the glass trying to attack the girls.  Eden thought it was pretty funny and Milan got a little freaked out.

 Gorillas.  They were really neat to watch.

Just happy.

The train.  I have learned to save the train until the end so that we only have to go once.  We cut it close because we were on the very last train ride.  Milan had waited all day so she was pretty excited.  Eden was just pooped!  Here we are waving bye to daddy (who decided to save himself a couple of bucks and sit it out.)

It was really a great day!  Beautiful weather, happy kids, and fun animals to check out.
