My Daddy, my hero

"He'll NEVER find me here!" Hide and seek...a favorite!

"1...2....3...4...5...Ready, Daddy!" Anyone like the potty training outfit?! Success rate is slim so far...

And helping Daddy plant raspberries in the field is so much more fun in coveralls...I missed the shot with her gardening gloves on - they made the outfit!
Enjoy your Wednesday :)

Settled in...

The swing set's up, life has a 'routine', we're enjoying our daily mountain views...a few pictures to share.

We had a break in the weird weather on Thursday afternoon. Melissa joined us in heading over to TulipMania on Ferry Road, a nice breezy walk there and back...we picked 30 tulips for $10 and enjoyed every minute of our time in the field! We'll have to go back before they close for the season.

So many to choose from - every colour imaginable!


Thoroughly enjoying myself :)
In action...
and taking a break
Our beautiful valley - excuse the lack of photoshopping to remove the pole at this time.
Another mountain angle...what can I say? I LOVE seeing it daily!A ride home for some flowers...

And our home is coloured with some beautiful buds!

Enjoy your day! Take a minute to notice a flower - we have an amazing Creator!

Okay, so it's been forever, but I'm still alive and well :). Here's an update on our lives of late...I know the Florida pictures are still MIA, but we'll work on that soon!

Moving day...
Getting ready meant taking a crib down...quite delightful to have a small 'jail' cell with Daddy for awhile! ("Giggle giggle Hi Mommy!")
The next evening...I've never seen a trailer quite packed like this one was! Quite efficient - only 2 loads and we were finished! It also helped to store so much until we move next time (which I don't want to quite think about yet! Still working out some kinks here...)

THANKS to all who helped clean, move, organize, and clean again! It was wonderful and this appreciation comes a little late! Thank you!

Moving night, BB saw that our 'new' house had a bathtub and promptly decided it would be delightful to try it out! He went and asked 'Chels, want to have a bath?' and they did :)

Then 2 clean kids enjoyed seeing QB in the doll stroller, getting a ride around the house!

The next day we returned to our beautiful red house to clean it out. I'll miss that place. The new owners have settled in and are looking to hire Brian to do a few things - oh, the irony! It'll always be our first home...and second too :D.

And one last swing at Velma Ave before moving the swing set. Can you hear the giggles?!
And while I left some tulips behind, I took some moments to enjoy them (as did C) and I took some along too :)

So we start looking forward...plans are being drawn, colours are being thought about, baby names debated...it all looks exciting in the future! What our next home's view will look like... (a picture from the website of Rose Gardens, not my own). What a blessing to be able to write that everything's gone well so far.
