With such a mild winter, Nora has been obsessed with constantly being outside. Unfortunately, she has reached the age where she can't be trusted to not run in the street or run off into trouble! So we try to spend more time in the backyard instead of always in the front yard where there are more potential dangers!

I'd been wanting to get her a few fun things for the backyard so when I saw this cute playhouse come up on my favorite Facebook Sale group I decided she had to have it! It was in great condition and it's so cute-she and her little friends love to play in it.

A lot of days Jason and I just go out there and watch her play and she "makes things in the kitchen" for us.

We still spend a lot of time in the front yard though- helping dad water the lawn, playing in the bird bath, eating snacks, going on walks etc. This girl loves being outside and can't get enough! 

It was so warm the other day I put this on her for playing in the water and we had some chips! :)

Park Days

We have been spending nearly every day at the park this winter and spring! We have had such a mild winter that so many days we have been at the park! Nora is becoming a climbing pro and loves the slides. And o man, if she finds the swings-she will want to stay there at least 50% of the time (or more, much to my dismay).

We go every Friday with our ward playgroup and it's always a lot of fun. Love my days with this girl!

Moms can have fun too, right?

One of my favorites of her! 

Our little friend Veda had her birthday party at the park and Nora loved it- complete with pinata and cake! Thanks Veda!

Love this photo Allisa took of us on her nice camera!

 I love watching her play with her other little friends! 

 Copying the football players doing stairs! So cute. 

She loves to lean back and soak in the sun in the swings. It's actually quite adorable.
