March 2011

I love this outfit, and I love my cutie in these shots. 

I was trying to post pictures of my outfit with a self timer and she wanted to be right there...and have some of her outfit, too.

Truly, she is my favorite accessory.

When I do these outfit shots for my photog blog, I often ask Tyler or Alyssa or Michael to take them and I have to first do a test shot...


Cali loves our new digital frame.  She gets very excited at each picture and points and screams as she names the people in the picture.

My neighbor Naomi and her son Reece were over...

The boys played flag football for the first time.  The play a lot in our yard with the neighbors, their first team play was trickier than they thought.  On the Ravens team.


They said Tyler is a good rusher because he runs fast...look at that stride.

Went on a field trip with Tyler's 4th grade class and toured Whole Foods.  Love hanging out with my boy.


Alyssa got a little love note from her classmate, Ryan.

I borrowed Naomi's floor vacuum robot and Cali was afraid of it.
She doesn't like to wear hair pretties, but this day she got all fancy.

Notice Cali holding my itouch.  She loves it and knows how to navigate it well.


Disovering spray whipped cream...




This was the spring wellness walk just before spring break.







At the end of all 3, I was exhausted!

Alyssa and Ashley (neighbor, Naomi's daughter) buddies in class on howdy day.

Cali loves to go to school to see the big kids!


 I was running more and more miles in March and I came home with achy legs and pained knees.  Michael iced them for me.



For spring break, Michael took the whole week off and we had a stay-cation.  IHOP for breakfast happened one day...






Then Michael thought he would potty train Cali on one day...


Alyssa got fancy, as usual.



She came up with this hair contraption on her own.

Then...we went camping...

Michael built a bench to hold shoes...




2 nights of camping was on the menu--our first.



We went with a group of our former ward friend in the Brushy Creek Ward. It was a chilly night and Candida Bennett cuddled Alyssa while I cuddled Cali to keep them warm.



In the morning, Cali enjoyed her daddy's ear plugs that helped him sleep. I love this pic of her below.


There was a lake to play in...


The Steed fam...

Michele Steed (she and I were both in Brushy Creek ward and moved to Walsh Ranch ward about the same time).


Cali and Sophie Steed having fun in the tent.
