Spring has Sprung

So much has happened in the past week I'm not sure where to start!  My photos are minimal as I haven't had time to go through everything. 

We had Gigi, Erin & Nik in town for a visit and to celebrate Dax's first birthday.  A small gathering of family/friends and a confused little one year old got together over the weekend.  Dax tried to figure out what to do with a homemade cake propped in front of him.  At first he dove in, to the audience's enjoyment but then became confused when everyone started laughing.  Caught in action he held up his sticky hands and waited for mom to tell him what to do.  Later he was found sticking his hands in the cooler bobbing out pieces of ice to suck on.  A few teeth coming in...

Bike rides, skiing (yes still skiing), and hiking were some of the other activities we forced our guests to enjoy while in town.  Hopefully they went home tired and happy!  I didn't get a picture of everyone together but once Zach goes through his photos (maybe he captured some) I will share.  We did get to meet adorable M.E. (pronounced Em-ee), Erin & Nik's new blue heeler and celebrate some more exciting news as well.

Isla Jane Sundby surprised Ian & Sarah with an early arrival on Friday.  We are so excited for them and can't wait to get to know this little cutey!

Right around his birthday Dax decided it was time to put those new shoes to use and began walking.  We have a nervous excitement going at the moment for our curious toddler.  Wow the baby stage flew bye!

The McHughs were in town for a visit and we were happy to bump into them a few times and catch up on their beautiful family.

The weather was AMAZING over the weekend with high's in the 70's, blue skies, and happy locals.  I'm ready!  BBQ's, bike riding, lake visits, and long summer days sound perfect to me :)  Dax got outside for a backyard bath...

It is spring though and not summer...yet.  In the mountains things change quickly this time of year and rain is already on the horizon.  We enjoyed the warm weather, visitors, and break from winter while it lasted and are looking forward as always.
