Easter

The weather has been getting warmer so we definitely took advantage of it Easter weekend.  Saturday we headed down to West Jordan for an Easter egg hunt with Monty's family.  Mia had a great time hunting for eggs and did a good job at it.

 She needed a boost from Dad to get the high ones.

 Quite the haul for such a little tyke.

 No trip to West Jordan is complete without playing with cousins!

Kids are good at finding ways to entertain themselves.

Mia's Easter basket.

 Easter morning Mia wasn't exactly thrilled to be woken up.

 She quickly changed her mind after she saw her basket.  Mia loves her alphabet puzzle and can tell you what about 3/4 of the letters are when you point to them.

 She had to put on her new hat, sunglasses, and "Elmo shoes" all at once...it was pretty cute.

 We saved the big surprise for after church.  It can be a challenge to get Mia out the door for 9:00 church without any extra distractions.

 Mia loves jumping on anything and everything...the ground, couch, bed, whatever she can get away with, so the Easter bunny brought her her very own tramp.

 She has tons of fun jumping and will get in there and just yell "Jump Jump Jump.

We've also taken advantage of the warmer weather lately and spent some time outside.  Mia and I had a picnic lunch outside one afternoon.

 I think our little artist ends up with more chalk on herself than on the sidewalk.

 Mia is very happy to have her "playground" (as she calls it) back.

 She even got to help daddy mow the lawn.  I don't know how much of a help to daddy she was but it was a huge help to me. :-)

 We are outside to ride bikes on almost a daily basis now.  Mia's getting pretty good on the neighbor's scooter.



Mia has also decided that she wants to do my hair since I'm always the one doing hers.

 It didn't work out so well for me.

 Mia has started to take interest in taking pictures.  She loves to take the camera, say cheese and then snap pictures.

 Maybe we'll have to put a bug in Santa's ear that she needs her own camera.

 Mia has become a double fisted drinker.  Personally I think drinking milk and juice at the exact some time would be pretty nasty but hey whatever floats her boat.

 On a positive note we have made some good progress on potty training.  We still have good days and bad days but more good than bad and she finally figured out pooping on the potty!  YAY!!!

 That is a laundry hamper not a sleeping bag silly girl.

 What a cutie!
