Spring Catch-up!

First, HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY WILLA!!
She had a fabulous day and a very fun party with her cousins and neighbors.
Having a yummy birthday lunch with her Princess Birthday hat on.
Opening her gifts - she loved them!

Willa and Violet patiently waiting for the cupcakesThis is how Willa ate her cupcake - she never picked it up!
A little birthday half-pipe ride with Daddy!

We stopped for a special cupcake treat on Friday too!
Cute, serious Willa

Last weekend we went down to the Chalk Art Festival. It was so fun to see such talented artists and watch them work! We brought our own sidewalk chalk and Violet and Willa did their own version.
Finished product!
We took some photos with the camera timer the other day to see how it work work. It worked pretty good!
On Mother's Day we took a mini road trip through the mountains from Denver to Estes Park. It was so beautiful! We got out here to take a look around and let the girls stretch their legs. This was the first little road trip we did where everyone was very happy the entire time. Let's hope it stays that way - we have two BIG road trips coming up this summer! We're headed to Bozeman in July and Michigan in August!
Silly gooses! I love how different they are. They were playing dressup with their Princess castle and each picked their own shoes. Violet had her ballet flats. Willa had her Chuck Taylors :)
These two are SO cute together! They get along SO well and I know I'm very lucky!
Here they are playing "House." Mostly it involves Violet or Willa calling the other one "Mom" or "Honey" and putting each other down for naps.

Violet took a really fun tap/ballet class this spring. Willa had to get dressed up too and watched from the sidelines.Trying out their dance moves!
We got to visit our "cousin chickens" again the other day - they sure aren't baby chicks anymore! They both loved it and Willa couldn't get enough of them pecking food out of her hand, even though it kind of hurt!
One thing I love about Denver is that a lot of people fly through! My mom and step-dad had a few hours layover so we got to meet up. The girls LOVED showing off for them!
