Feeding the Ducks

On Saturday March 14th, Mila asked to go feed the ducks. She has only gone one other time in the fall with some of our friends, but she remembered and asked to go. It was a gorgeous day(and less than a week after the snow) so we got some bread and went over to the duck pond. Mila had so much fun, and kept yelling "He ate it," every time a duck ate a piece of bread she threw.

Here she is asking me if the size piece she has is okay.

Talking to the ducks. I am lucky she didn't fall in.
The ducks were smart enough to run away if she got too close.

Snowy March Day

On Monda(March 9th) it snowed so much. I didn't even wear a coat to school that morning because sunday afternoon/evening was so nice. Of course I did send Mila to school with a coat and hat and everything. Good thing I did because when my class got out at 4:40 it was snowing like this. I can't believe how much the weather has gone back and forth the past few days. It is no wonder Mila is a little sick.

This picture was taken seconds before a meltdown when she realized her giraffe had snow on it.

It was snowing really hard!

Tromping through the snow...away from me and the car.


Nothing says spring in Utah like the beautiful purple flowers in front of the house covered in snow.

Movie Night

Every Saturday night(well most) Mila and I have a movie night. We just hang out and watch a movie in our pajamas. She loves it. It is a good way to end a usually busy Saturday.


The beginning of movie night...all snuggled up.

The end of movie night...watching the movie upside down between her legs. My silly girl cannot sit still for long. She was very proud when she discovered she could watch the movie this way.

First time Ice Skating

On President's day, I decided to take Mila ice skating for the first time. I wasn't sure how it would go. Luckily, they have the walker-type things, and once Mila tried it she loved it. The second time around she didn't want me to hold on to her. She insisted on doing it herself. Of course she fell a lot, but she only cried once. She also didn't want me to help her get up after she fell. She really tried to get up, but there was no way. She finally let me help her.


She had her hands on her knees and said, "I do this" She had big hopes for her first time ice skating. I don't know where she learned that from, though.

My camera battery died before I could get any pictures of her skating, a less grumpy picture of us, or pictures with our friends than came along(Joseph, Janae, Hyrum, Asher and Amalia Wise).

Big funny smile!

A few weeks ago, I went to check on Mila before I went to bed, and I thought it was so funny that she had managed to take off her pajamas. I had to take a picture, but the joke was on me because I didn't realize that she had managed to take off her pull-up too. She woke me up at about 1 am because she was soaking wet. I had to change her and all the sheets and most of the blankets. What a night.
