Aria's Spring Artwork

March 2014


My Silly Girl

This girl LOVES her baths! And, apparently she no longer needs help getting in the tub. I turned it on to start filling, went to grab my phone, and came back to this. Love my silly girl!

She has also taken a strong liking to her bike helmet. So much so that we wear it for a lot more than biking. :)

Nixing the Nap

She is three. Three and a half, actually. And fighting naps like the world will end if she closes her eyes for even a minute. So we've been getting a lot of evenings like this lately. Don't get big too fast, baby girl. There's plenty of time for that. And, please, don't give up your naps. Not just yet!

Chino Youth Museum

A few Sundays ago, we were running really late for church. By the time we pulled into the parking lot, Aria was hungry and Ellie was asleep. So we took a detour (spontaneous change of plan) to lunch and the Chino Youth Museum. What a great little place for kids! It's small enough that kids can pretty much run around without havering to follow them, yet trees enough to do to keep them busy for a couple of hours. Ellie LOVED opening and closing all the child sized doors, and Aria loved the police motorcycle! For only $2 per person, I'm pretty sure we'll be back!










Reno or Bust

We helped Wacky, Kay Kay, Ryan and TyTy move up to Reno in March. On the way home, we stopped near Crawley Lake to play in the snow!





Rainy Days and Sundays...

Our little family spent te beginning of March sick. All of us, Grammy and Papa included. We still managed to eke out a few smiles.

November Artwork



Aria started preschool in November and has been loving it and doing so, so well there. We (and she) really like her teacher, Mrs. Stalnecker, and the staff and students just all seem to be great! Every month, I put all of Aria's artwork up on the door for display so we can all enjoy it. At the end of the month, I snap some pictures so we can look back and remember all her awesome creativity! I hope that when she is grown, she will enjoy looking back and seeing all the cool projects she did!



Another Day at Disney

Up down horses!

Grammy photo bombing on Toy Story Mania :)

Aria's treat of choice: a caramel dipped, chocolate dipped, rolled in mini M&Ms, pretzel stick. While she would not try the pretzel, she did a pretty good job biting off most of "the good stuff".

Wanna Go to the Beach?

I love that we still live close enough to the beach that we can just spontaneously take a trip down there. I love that we got there just as the sun was beginning to make its way down into the sea. I love that my girls enjoyed playing in the San, collecting shells and dancing around. I really just love with everything about these pictures and this day!















Happy Valentine's Day!

Can I Get A Side Of Fries With My Ketchup?



A Cold, Silly Day!

I love, love, LOVE these two!


Grandparent's Day at Circle City

I'm so glad both my parents could join Aria for this! They made these awesome, decorated hats together. Too bad they didn't wear them in the pic! Aria sure loves her Grammy and Papa!


Mom's Day at Circle City

First, let me just say that we love Circle City Preschool! They are amazing with Aria and she loves being there. One thing I love is that they have special days throughout the year for moms, dad, and grandparents to join their kiddos in special activities, crafts, and snacks. So fun! This was Mom's Day, and I had my mom come with me to take care of Ellie so that I could participate fully with Aria. I might have had even more fun than she did...  ;)
