It's Starting to Heat Up!!

I think winter is finally over and spring is upon us! It's been a lot warmer around here! Warm enough to wear sandals and shorts and to start playing outdoors! ;) We've been looking very forward to this!

St. Patrick's Day.
It was the first day we were able to wear shorts.
We celebrated by walking to Dairy Queen.

Conference Weekend Cupcakes.
Made these fun spring cupcakes for Conference.
Strawberry cake with pink or purple frosting, yellow
frosting designs and sprinkles on top! Yum!
It was even nice enough that weekend that we watched
Sunday afternoon conference with some good
friends. Court made kebabs and after the session
was over we sat out on their porch and enjoyed
the warmth. Good times. Just wish I had thought
to bring my camera!

Eating Conference Cupcakes! ;) Yum-O!!

Rapunzel Hair.
Meredith is obsessed with the movie "Tangled"
and with being Rapunzel. Silly kid even likes
to clip an ace bandage in her hair and pretend
it is her "Rapunzel hair". Here she is modeling
her magical ace bandage hair.

New Spring Dress.
Got a new spring dress. She looked so darn
cute in it, I had to get a picture! Look how
grown up my baby is! :/

And look how long her hair is! :)

This past Saturday was such a beautiful day!
Meredith has been wanting to play baseball, so
we got her a plastic ball and bat and took her to
the park so Court could teach her how to hit a ball.
We ended up playing on the tennis courts because
the grass and baseball fields were really muddy.
We had so much fun! And I think Court really
enjoyed getting to share his love for baseball
with his daughter! ;) Here is Meredith pitching:

Court pitching to Meredith.

And a little video of Meredith hitting the ball!

Iphone Photos

I finally figured out how to get my photos off my iphone! Although, my iphone doesn't take nearly as good pictures as my camera. Sad. I guess I'll just have to always keep my camera with me.

Anyway. Here's a few fun pictures...

Sleepy Bug.
On our way home from a birthday party.
They made these cute bug hats and went on
a bug hunt. Meredith had a blast, and then crashed
about 1 minute after we left! :)

More In-door Camping.
She didn't end up sleeping the whole
night here. After about 15 minutes of trying
she decided she'd rather sleep in her bed.
Can't really blame her, I prefer my bed too.

Sorry this picture is blurry. But, really, isn't
camping so much more fun with dad??

Meredith wearing the headlamp
that came with the camping set.
She loves that thing!

Future Construction Worker of America.
This is Meredith at Kid Town. I blogged about
it in a previous blog. Literally a town where
kids can dress up as all different people...doctor,
police officer, fire fighter, princess, etc. Meredith loves
to go to kid town.

Also at Kid Town. Princess Meredith
changing her care bear's diaper. Getting
good big sister practice! ;)

Having a princess tea party.
She's wearing Princess Jasmine pants.

Candy House at Kid Town.

Meredith and Mommy at Portillos with Flat Stanley
and a Chicago Dog! My niece, Kathryn, lives in
Utah and is learning about letter writing and
also about different U.S. states. To help her learn,
her teacher had her write us a letter
and send her friend "Flat Stanley" to visit us.
We had to take a picture of us with him at a
popular place in our city. Then we sent him back
with some post cards and other fun stuff to share
with her class. We had a lot of fun with it. Court
ate the Chicago dog, and I got to eat that delicious
salad. MMmmmm....Portillos! I think we may need
to go there for lunch again soon! ;)

My two favorite peeps in the whole world! ;)
