Hiking and the new playhouse!

The weather has been really beautiful lately and we decided to take advantage of it by going for a hike. We drove out to Ramona and tackled Mt. Woodson. Chris thought it was going to be an easy hike when I told him it was paved, but he admitted how hard it was once we got to the top. It doesn't make it any easier when your pushing 22lbs of toddler in a jogging stroller!
As most of you know, I love to find a good deal. I managed to pick up a cute outdoor playhouse for Grace at one of our local garage sales. Go ahead and guess what I paid! Her first look!

She decided to bring her bathtub in with her.


Peek-a-boo! I only paid $3 for you!

Jumping for joy.

Making sure that Daddy does not get lost.





Chris being brave......

Easter

One of the most exciting days while in Washington DC was Easter morning. The girls had alot of fun exploring their baskets of goodies and eating candy. Once they were nice and full of sugar..... Jason and Amy left Rosie for a night on the town. The ladies and I headed down to the local park to run out the "sugar jitters" and enjoyed some delicious pizza for dinner. We had some bunny ears for dessert!

Sweet shades baby Grace.




Mess? What mess?



The first few moments of joy......




It's fun to watch the adults pick this stuff up.





Thats a funny looking bunny!






The baskets before the ladies attacked.
