This last week !!

Wow, three weeks have gone by with no school . Lilja started swimming classes , we have violet over every othet day and we are getting in a routine walking doggies. Plus, Aran and I had our 11 year anniversary.. yep 11 years.. crazy, fun, silly, amazing serious and just wonderful years .. here's to lots more years to come !!

Two silly girls

These girls see eachother every day pretty much. They play so good together, bicker like sisters. But love eachother like sisters too 

Our anniversary !! Wonderful night having drinks and great food ! Love this guy !!!

Lilja watched me have a facial last week.. so she wanted to do one at home .. avocado and honey!! Yummy !!

She even wanted some cucumber on her eyes.  Not sure what facial she was watching .. but she loved it !!

Then daddy got home... we had a surprise for him. 

Our favorite thing to do this summer is letting the kids float down this little river ..while mommas relax..heaven !!

The caretaker of the house that I take care of let us know there was a little cow born couple of hours ago he took Violet and Lilja on the ATV and had them watch while he gave it a vaccination . What a great experience.they named it barney and he just follow them around like a dog. 

Lilja was very interested in what david said . She wants to be a vet 

First time on an atv.. 

6 month check up at a new dentist . Was so ready for her to have a cavity as she has been brushing her own teeth this last year.. but . .. no cavities !! She rocks !!

Way to go girly !! 

Now how to explain to her that candy does make cavities !! She does not believe me anymore .. she herself was also very worried ..

Father's day weekend

What would be the best father's day gift for my husband?? Two nights camping with a canoe, tent, our great friends and ofcourse his daughter and me !! This was lilja's first camping trip and she loved it !! Fishing, canoeing, sleeping in one tent in a huge sleeping bag till 8 am , s'mores, laughing, staying up late and her first poop in nature !! Very adventurous !!

Can I love this girl even more than I do ??

My little family ..so lucky !

Lilli and lilja and Pip all by them self for hours !what do they talk about ?

The best daddy ever. I feel so lucky to have such an amazing man to be my partner in the crime called parenthood . 

Just relaxing .. 

The glow in the dark balloons were a huge success !

Going on 17!!

River and girlfriend fun

So in the last week we had 5 girls over, had three river days, had two playdates at someone's house and one sleep over ..and the weekend has not started yet.. here's to the start of summer . The summer of girlfriends !!

There is a little river the girls can float diwn. Small enough to not b e tired to walk to the start with a float each time ..long enough to have fun going down it and feel a little independent doing it . 

They make their own ekeborated floats and the imagination is goibg wild. Seahorses and mermaids was the theme this day.  Lilja was the seahirse! 

I wonder if these three will still be friends 19 years from now.. I hope so..they a great , sweet, respective, fun and caring girlfriends to eachither.shaandin, maddie and lilja 

And kate 

Oh that gorgeous hair !!

Violet is another great friend 

Shaandin and lilja at a bouncy house play park. I bribed lilja .. go shopping with me 45 min away to hobby lobby with a friend for an errand..then have fun at the bouncy house ..we were at hobby lobby 10 min..at bouncy house 2 hours !!

So much fun

I am famius

He wants to be with her so bad..he tolerates the water 

Much happier now 

Heaven for dogs ..next to their "person" 

Oma fun

Wow, two weeks go by so fast with Oma here. We did lots and we did nothing .. lilja and oma had so much fun. And mam and I even had a night alone in the jacuzzi with wine and relaxation . I think the highlight was the beardance, making sushi, fun dinner at pura vida, and fox fire farm. Just some great memories. Thanks mom for makibg the trip all the way this way.. it was wonderful to have you here . We miss you !

Great last night dinner with mom here !! Just a silly photo of the three of us ?

And the two of us ...

My mom and me .. two peas in a pod  trying a cute selfie

Beautiful vallecito !! And the three ladies :)

My favorite pictures of my mom's stay . These sum it all up . 

Yummy sushi making !! Lilja loved it and made her own concoction . I think it was smoked salmon and crab all together .

Her new ribbon dress, scarf and brooch from Southern ute tribal members. They are embracing us and lilja as we experience their culture through their traditions and dances

Fox fire farms .. and just fyi..that is a bear ..the balloon I mean..not mom...hihihi

Lilja has never been a doll or barbie kind of girls.. it has always been animals ..

They called her the duck whisperer 

Oms on the other hand was the Pip whisperer.  They had a staring contest goibg on ..

He loved her.

Who will move first .. mom's hand ?? He was infatuated with it .. we laughed so hard !
