April photo favorites

The month of April was full of blooming flowers and trees around here - so lovely! But the weather has also been back and forth, between sunshine and rain. However, it hasn't rained on our parade. We've been able to get out on walks and hikes a ton more off and on these last several weeks. Ellie absolutely enjoys spending time outside, which makes us all happy.

^^ she has been pretending to stir/mix and eat food with her play kitchen stuff

^^ first time coloring...not totally into it yet

^^ Ellie loves to wear my scarves/sweaters (next picture) and play with my purses!

^^ so technically this was May 1st..

but Sunday morning I hear this hot ballon right outside our backyard. 

It was sooo close!
