Too cute not to post!

I just think these are too cute not to post! Hadley and I went to the Botanical Gardens on Monday. She is getting to be a little poser for the camera, and I love it! She got to run around to her heart's content. The first picture I just took, then I told her to smile and got the second picture. That is so Hadley lately!

Another thing this little stinker has done lately is more repeating. Today she's been saying, "Dang it!" and even a few times, "Dang it, Hadley!" I guess it could be worse, but it doesn't sound the nicest to hear a two year old say that! Oops!

Hiking Trip

With the weather nice in the mornings, we have been trying to get out on the weekends for some hiking. At the end of April we did Bandelier, about 2 hours away. It is just a bit past Sante Fe, and has lots of old Puebloan Indian ruins from homes to ceremonial sites. It is a bit similar to the Anasazi Ruins, which we did years ago when we lived in Utah. Hadley did pretty well...actually hiking a bit over a half mile herself. She had fun picking up rocks and finding holes in bigger rocks to hide them. It was fun to scramble up and down the ladders and the weather was great. It was nice to see some greenery for a change and enjoy the smells of nature.
Below: A random piece of asparagus growing. I couldn't find any others. Chris said he was surprised I didn't pick it to eat it.And no trip is complete without a tantrum...
Hadley liked putting little rocks in holes of bigger ones. The rocks are called tuff and are really porous, so they have lots of holes in them.

Our Easter Flower!

We had a nice Easter with our friends here in our neighborhood. Hadley was grumpy for a good portion of the day, but you would never know it by these pictures. Our friends gave Hadley a little basket with this flower headband in it. She thought she was pretty cute wearing it! I was surprised she kept it on. For a few days after she wore it and would tell me, "I so pretty!"
