precious moments

Lilja was waiting for her ride to school this morning and maggie always watches with her . Loved capturing this precious exchange of loves. The sequence is actually backwards .. she saw me taking photos and posed for the kissing one .. oh yes, posed !!

little ballerina

They have a lot more practicing  to do.. the performance is next month !!

bowling!!

We took care of jt this weekend . Bowling, the playground and lots of basketball.. we had a blast !

Loving to climb

Looking way too big !!

Waiting her turn to bowl on daddy's lap 

Lilja had a little help from daddy and some rooting on by jt and his friend jackson

Lja was so shy when the boys cane in the car .. she even tried not to look at them. Hoeever, those boys were true gentlemen.. helping her with her bowling and being very sweet. 

Jt was pretty good  . They started out without bumpers on the side, but chafed their minds pretty fast after a couple of turns 

Lilja had such a good time , and aran an I did too. 

last vacation day

Last day dog/house sitting . And it was a gorgeous day . We ended up staying down by the river all morning and then went in the jacuzzi.. nice ending of our spring vacation.

Lilja in her element ... water or snow 

Leon in his element ..  mister water dog 

Can't keep her out of the water . Socks off and pants rolled up to cross the "river" . Mom, we solved our own problem how to cross the river, we used our brains ! 

spring fever

our little staycation

We wanted to at least have one day of family time besides being sick or dog sitting every day . So we went to Mesa Verde national park. Unfortunately we did not realize it was not completely open so you could not go in the dwellings today, but we did do some fun little hikes and saw most of the "houses" from a far. Lilja had so much fun just running around and having fun. We will be back when we can climb into the houses. Till next time !

Feeling better every day, just that horrible cough is still lingering  and will for a while .  

Spuce tree house .  Unfortunately this one will be closed indefinitely . The ledge above is falling apart 

Hiking from one house to the next 

The balcony house .. 37 rooms on there . So amazing !!

Always smiling 

Family time 

And some climbing time 

We had a blast .. another trip will be in our future . 

Feeling lots better
