fun for easter

Happy Easter everyone !!

Easter is here and the festivities kept on going . Lilja woke up at 4:30 on saturday because " she was soooo excited " luckily we got to see the lunar moon that early, so it was an educational morning .. an early educational morning . Two egghunts later, a bouncy house and running around with her friends, she took a nap!! Oh yes, she did !! Then the Dare family arrived and the girls have been playing all weekend .this morning they found their easter baskets with art stuff, bubbles , and a chocolate bunny.. and then after getting all dressed up ( oh how I love having a little girl ) they had an Easter egghunt in our garden . This morning could not have gone any better . Hope yiur easter is as fun as ours

Our spring is here

Well, lilja is back in school but now I have off, so I am itching to do some projects around the house .. deck staining here I come

Apple blossoms galore in downtown durango. Yes, somehow I got her on my shoulders and yes, she us making it rain blossoms 

The hardest thing is to say good bye to a pet . Even harder when it is not yours and you have to tell the owners ..  Farewell chief.. rest in piece 

sounding like a loon

Lilja is definitely a daughter of a biologist..

Last night at the ranch.. the 10 days are over. It was a lot of fun . Lots of snuggles while lilja slept with me in a king size bed, lots of barney walks, eggs galore each morning and saw three new calf and named them..leo, Leona and arianna.. yep it was an interesting and exciting time. So tonight was our last swim in the hot tub. Lilja has figured out that if she blows on the noodle, water comes out the other end. So she is trying to make me wet . However I have figured out I can do the same that's why she wants to do it so fast .. she wants me to stop video taping because I can't do two things at the same time.. I'll take that :()

Our little monkey

Lilja wanted to do it all by herself.. she is 1 inch to short to get hanging from the ground.
