Long overdue - March and April.

This is Jeremy's most prized birthday present - a mallard duck chlorinater.


Happy Easter



Coloring eggs



Ellia got her first undies and this is what dad taught her to do with them.


At least she knows where they are supposed to go!


Easter egg hunt in Mesa Arizona for the Clegg reunion


Jeremy catching up with the family's newest celebrity (Dane from biggest loser)

Diamond backs game

the reunion includes a traditional dress-up parade, and this year yours truly got to don the faces of the clegg ancestors!
We also visited a childrens museum while we were there, here is Ellia planting flowers

Doing crafts




cooking


and grocery shopping


she also got to play Marilyn Monroe!
A few weeks before the reunion we picked up Travis and Liz from their cruise and spent the rest of the weekend at Redondo Beach



During the last part of March we met Jeremy's family in St. George to celebrate his birthday


We also played a little in the sand dunes in Snow canyon, but it was pretty windy




What the leprachauns left for us to find on St. Patricks day morning


Early in March we went to a really fun birthday party at a petting zoo. Ellia was brave enough to ride the train alone




She was a little more wary of the animals...




but did get up the guts to ride the pony a few times


then at home we had to practice our cowboy skills





and of course we spent some cool spring hours working in the yard, sometimes ellia is a big help


sometimes she's better at relaxing ...
while we do the work. Here jeremy is rototilling so we can start our back lawn fresh and hopefully get some good grass this year (big yard, huh.)

while digging in our yard we have found some interesting things - this was the most disturbing



In other news, Ellia loves her dolls and takes them everywhere (even to the potty), she is a good 'mommy'

My bad

I have been a bad blogger I know. At least now I am thinking about posting again soon! I am even changing my background from St Patty's day as an indication that I am recommitting myself. Thanks to everyone who keeps checking!
