Larsen is Three!

It is hard to believe but our Larsen is 3. We have had had a fun April celebrating her.

Her first milestone associated with the big 3 was moving up to the big kid class. Both she and Bridger were so excited. They couldn't wait to be in the same class. Bridger has enjoyed showing her around and teaching her all the new "work" in the Primary Classroom. 


On Larsen's actual birthday we had a small family celebration. Grandma and Grandad joined us resulting in some extra fun and gifts. (Did we mention that Larsen loves pink. As I review these photos it seems she is in nearly head to toe pink in most??)




Easter Weekend Larsen had her friend birthday party and some sweet friends many of whom we have known since they were infants themselves were able to come. Grandma and Grandpa also got to join in on the celebration. One of the big brothers was also able to come and he is nearly Bridger's exact age which worked out really well. We enjoyed some crafts, an egg hunt, yummy food, and lots of time during a sunny beautiful Spring Day.










Of course we had to snap some Easter shots and have our own egg hunt!  



In the midst of this Larsen had her 3 year check up. She is 33lbs 8 ounces and 36 inches tall. She hasn't been sleeping much (does she ever??) and so was really crabby during the visit. She then promptly fell asleep in the car on the way home. Luckily our pediatrician lives in the neighborhood so she also knows the sparkly side of her. 

We are busy getting the yard into shape (well Matt is) and Bridger is playing t-ball. Photos to come!

A LOOONGG Winter


It has been a super long winter filled with snow days and days and days. However, Spring is finally peeking through, but no big warm ups yet. We have had crocus blooms for the last week or so and some daffodils are just opening up. Seedlings for the garden are toasty warm inside waiting on some true Spring weather.

Here's a recap of our winter adventures including the annual family ski trip.


Our biggest snows was about 2 feet. We did a lot of outside play in the yard. Turns out swinging is fun even in the snow!


 A little practice on the snow with the training skis.

 We took Larsen for her first time on real skies at Whitetail. It was a nutty day on the slopes but she had a great time. This is her very excited after making her first turn. 

As much fun as she had lots of snacks were required to keep her going. 

 We had a great time during our Utah ski trip this year. We go to stay at Bridger and Jake's new place. No photos of our awesome digs unfortunately since we were too busy doing other things. Here we are at Deer Valley enjoying the great views and hanging out with our superstar skier Bridger. 

 

Larsen also got some lessons from superstar skier Bridger. She had fun trying out the slopes in her new pink helmet. 

 

Matt and I enjoyed some adult time in the powder at the end of the week. Lots of fun!!
