Dinosaur Playland

This little gem of a play area helped us keep our sanity this winter, which had some of the worst air quality days to date!  We have a new mall in town and they added this play area filled with giant hard foam dinosaurs.  Miles gets overwhelmed by the amount of kids running around sometimes, but overall, he has had a great time testing and improving his climbing skills.

St. George

Craig's dad and step-mom moved to St. George and we were able to visit them during the last weekend in April.  The weather was perfect and it was nice to feel a bit of warmth without it being overwhelming.  

On a hike in Snow Canyon.  Miles was obsessed with footprints, tracks and playing in the soft sand.  Most of the hike was spent like this, trying to get Miles to actually walk with us.  The situation improved greatly once we got to the rocks and had to do a bit of climbing.

Gorgeous vistas.

Teaching Grandpa about games on the tablet.  Perfect after a long morning outside!

Exploring small caves and rock formations at our last stop before heading home.

Haircut

Before

After

Still trying to figure out the whole haircut thing.  Really, it seems like it would be super easy, but there is some sort of magic to it. Thankfully, he's not too particular yet, so I can enjoy a steep learning curve!

Easter 2013

Russin and Dave were brave and sponsored an Easter egg hunt at their house.  Miles is catching on to the whole idea and was able to get a few eggs before all were gone!  His favorite....the ones filled with cars.

Artiste!

Getting a normal smile is next to impossible these days, but I was super excited he stopped for a minute and actually looked at the camera!

Early Spring

A little respite in the weather this March found us at Tracy Aviary. Here you can see the very bold, will do anything for food, pigeons we found by the duck pond.  Miles was thrilled beyond measure to see "wild" birds climbing all over us.  All it took was a little of the duck food from the dispensers.  

Checking out the birds in the Amazon exhibit.  My favorite thing about this photo (which unfortunately doesn't have audio), is that Craig was being the voice of the birds and Miles was having conversations with them.  

It's the simple things

In an attempt to get out of the house in February, we took a trip to The Home Depot.  It was our lucky day...they were serving popcorn and happened to be using the forklift to move some stuff around.  Miles had a front row seat, perfection!
