Marching through March

March is marching on, and so are we. 

Winter has been very mild along the Wasatch Front.  All of the snow has fallen in the Mountains, and what we have gotten down home, has melted off during the day.  We were only able to Get the Snowmobile out in the yard once this year.  Very unusual, but o.k. I guess.  Good for my out door walking this year.  I just hope we have enough water to last through the summer!

I had to post a few pics I took this week of one of our little snow storms.  I love the world all beautiful and white!

My neighborhood, backyard, etc... 

 We always have deer coming through the neighborhood.  

And recently, we had about 12 come through all together in a herd.

It's fun to watch, and the girls love it.  They were just over our fence in the two neighbors yards.

This way, they can go up and down the hills, in the trees.

It's been so nice outside, that we've spent many days out riding bikes, scooters, etc.. 

 

We had a make shift gate at our stairs.  Tables on their side etc...  So inconvenient.  

It really has been hard to get around in the house.  Then one day, Ruby figured out how to move the table and go right on through.  That was the last straw!  Our stairs are pretty, but dangerous.  They are so slippery, that Chris has even hurt himself pretty bad.  So I called him at work one day frantic.  There was just no way to keep Ruby away from them.  The same day, he found this gate on KSL.com, our FAVORITE place to shop and sell things.  He got it for a killer deal and brought it home.  I can't even tell you how much I love it!  How stress free it has made me.  No more hopping over tables etc.. I can carry laundry up and down stairs, and move around without such craziness.  And it doesn't look half bad either.    

 

The other day was St. Patricks Day.  I was telling Bree about how when you find a Leprechan, you get to keep his pot of Gold.  Well, she immediately started searching for a Leprechan.  She was mad at me, when I wouldn't let her go out in the backyard and search, because it was snowing out that night.  She even made this little box full of green things, and a note.  Her and Elle left it in their room.  I found it the next day, and couldn't help myself.  I had to take a picture.  It was so cute!

She wrote about how she wasn't going to take his gold, but only wanted to see what the Leprechan looked like.  I remember wanting to find a Leprechan when I was little too.

 

Ruby still doesn't trust herself enough to walk on her own.  

But she has learned how to turn her little cart all by herself, so that she can walk all over the house and around and around the circle through the living room, dining room, and kitchen.

 

One night we had a family date night.  Since it's nearly impossible for Chris and I to go on a real date of our own.  It was a lot of fun I must say.... 

We drove into Ogden, ate at El Matador, one of our old favorites, and then found ourselves, at Mt. Ogden Park.  Just driving around on the way home.  

 

More time outside!

 

I Snapped this picture of Bree and her friends just the other morning, while waiting for the bus.  

Sneaky me, with my cel phone :)

 

Oven Baked Tacos!!

Seriously one of the BEST Pinterest finds ever.  

Love them :)

 

I have really been enjoying my time training for the Ogden Half Marathon with the ladies of Weber in Motion, and especially My Mom and sister Jen!

It seems like it just gets better and better.

Saturday we walked a 4 mile route.  We talked, laughed, and had the BEST time.  It's been so much fun having 2 weekly dates with these two amazing ladies.  I love this time we have together, and will seriously miss it when it's over.  Maybe we'll have to make our own weekly date.  To stay in shape for the Huntsville 10K that we've all signed up for in September.  Yeah, I think so.... :)

 

Ruby has 4 teeth, and loves to eat more and more normal food.  It's getting harder to feed her baby food, because she doesn't want it now.  But I'm worried about her getting enough to eat.  And all of those fruits and vegi's.  

 

On St Patricks Day, I had my little family pose for a picture.  It just seemed like a fun thing to do, because we were all wearing our GREEN.

 

 And more time outside.... :)

I'm so glad that my three beautiful girls love each other.  They are truly the best of friends!  

I hope that never changes :)

 

One of Ruby's new favorite places to play.  

In, the kitchen cabinets...

And finally, Elle lost her 2nd tooth!  

The tooth fairy brought her 2 dollars!!
