Family Time

We've been busy the last few weeks. The weather has been absolutely wonderful in Cedar and we've been taking advantage of it!! Kiley has been spending a lot of time outside, playing with Daisy. She has also been just as busy making messes throughout the house. Here are some fun pictures of what we've been up to.

Kiley loves spaghetti!!

This is a tree that we walk to most days. There are fields all around us and this tree is in a field down the road from us. Daisy loves this road because she can run like crazy. The coolest thing about this tree is that there is a bald eagle nest in it. Every year the eagle comes back and lays more eggs. If you look on the left branch in the middle, you can see the eagle. Its really little from the picture but it is huge when it flies around.

This is Kiley's friend Davin. They have been spending lots of time together lately and have so much fun together. This is while they were fighting over the phone. I think Kiley won. (Only because she could crawl away and Davin couldn't)

Kiley loves to play with markers. This won't last much longer considering she's trying to open them.

 So for FHE last week, we decided to go fishing. Chad was so excited and wanted so badly for me to catch a fish. I, on the other hand, wanted to cast, but had no desire to actually hook a fish. I don't like touching fish all that much because then you have the joy of smelling like fish the rest of the day. (Same .reason why I rarely use bleach.) Well, I won and didn't catch anything!! Chad caught one. I convinced him it was okay for me to not catch any because I had more bites than he did. He felt better about that but I still know he was irked because I didn't catch anything. I, however, was grateful!! (Even though he offered to take it off my hook for me so I wouldn't smell like fish.)

Playing with and eating dirt.

Lovin' on Daisy

 We spent last Wednesday hiking one of our favorite Cedar hikes. We couldn't get to the trailhead where we usually start because of snow. So we started at a different spot and worked our way backward. It was absolutely beautiful. The flowers are starting to come out but they will be even more beautiful in about 2 weeks. 

Chad found this and thought it was ugly. So he untied it and threw the logs in places that seemed more natural. Oh and he also kept the rope it was tied with.

Early signs of life. The really pretty flowers won't be out for a little longer.

Kiley absolutely loves her Dad!! Every time he comes home from work she cruises over to him to give him a huge hug. She gets so happy to see him. It is so fun to watch her reaction when she hears the door open. She also thinks its great to eat lunch while sitting on his lap.  

We took Kiley to the beach on Leigh Hill last Friday evening. It was a little bit cold but Kiley had fun playing in the sand. She ate a whole bunch of it. Now she is all prepared to go to California. Chad went snorkeling. It was cold enough that I didn't even put my feet in the water. But we had a fun night. (this is the same lake where we were fishing earlier.)

Taking it all in.
