Arizona Sun

We recently had the opportunity to join Todd on a business trip to the Phoenix area (Logos has a second office there). Ada & I had lots of time to explore and play outside in the sun. My parents drove out one day for a short visit and we also got to see Keith & Samantha since they lived close by.

The pictures are mostly of Ada, as usual :)

Ada also loved the Bass Pro Shop Outdoor World! She waved at and tried to kiss the fish and stuffed animals. My parents had fun with her too!

Ada made a new best friend with a giant teddy bear.

Playground fun

Ada had lots of fun exploring our local park a couple weeks ago. She especially enjoyed the merry-go-round and playing in the pea gravel :)

I will have pictures from our recent trip to Arizona soon!

Easter

Ada’s second Easter was a lot more fun now that she can run around! After a great message and brunch at church we headed over to the Bensen’s for another wonderful meal and egg hunt. They “hid” all of Ada’s eggs in the grass to make it a little easier for her to find them. When she found each egg she would open it (candy spilling out) and then help put everything into her bag.

Here is a link to a short video: Ada's 1st egg hunt

Below are pictures after church :)

7 Years

Todd & I celebrated our seven year anniversary this past Monday. We had a nice dinner at our favorite steak house and a lovely walk through Boulevard Park. We appreciate our friends who babysat so we could have some us time! It was our first time alone on a date without Ada in 14 months :)

Mr. Potato Head

Ada loves her new (new to her) Mr. Potato Head I bought at a friend’s garage sale. She really enjoys putting him together. I usually help push the parts all the way in, but she creates his look. Ada is pretty good about putting the eyes in the correct spot or on top of the head :)

Here is her latest creation.
