More snacks please

Roc's first official (paid) airplane seat.  He loved flying, watching take-off and landing through the window, giggling at the turbulence, enjoying his snacks and watching his very own movie.  

Oregon get-a-way

Some fun photos from our Hood River and Portland vacation last month.  We were a bit nervous to travel with 2 kiddos but they were so good!  Roc loved having his own seat (and tv) on the airplane and John and I felt like sherpa, hauling 2 carseats, 3 bags and a pack-n-play through the airport.  

We spent the first 2 nights in Hood River at Uncle Mac's house.  It was great to catch up with Mac and see all of his house updates.  I think we were even the first guests in his new and improved loft!

Katie L. was in Oregon for a conference and joined us in Hood River for a night.  She came dressed appropriately as the Easter Bunny!  

Mt Hood in the background!

We went for an epic hike in Portland with Katie and the kiddos.  After about 3 miles Roc asked, "can we just lie down in the grass now?"  This kid knows how to vacation!

My little Calla Lily in the Oregon sun

After visiting Mac we went spent two nights in Portland with my college bestie, Katie N.  She has two kids very close to the same age as Roc and Calla.  We hadn't seen each other since my wedding so we had lots of catching up to do.  Unfortunately we didn't get a photo of the full families but captured some cute ones of the kids.

Roc and Azie were fast friends!

Rhys and Calla

I thought I'd come back to SLC exhausted from the trip but I felt rejuvenated having spent time with some of my favorite people!

Calla's buddies.

We met some friends at the Aviary a few weekends ago and had a lovely time playing in the sun.  The littles were pretty cute together, sharing binkies and knocking each other over!  These three are about 3 weeks apart in age, Calla being the youngest and Kai is the oldest.

Calla, Ellanora, and Kai.  

Ellanora got tired of Kai's binkie and decided to check out Calla's dreads.

And then she went for Calla's binkie!  Such good friends.

Sunny spring evenings

Helpers

The kids were very helpful with chores this weekend!

Roc 'helped' Dad install porch railing.  "Too loud Daddy!!!  I'm covering my ears."

And Calla 'helped' fold the laundry.

Having kids is finally paying off!

6 months!
