Oh Spring, how we love you!

One of mine and Jack's favorite past times is going on walks together. Thanks to the recently improved temperatures and the purchase of a jogging stroller our walks have become much more pleasant and frequent. We have also resumed our visits to Red Butte Gardens. For those of you in the area, if you haven't been to Red Butte you should definitely put it on your to do list...really, it is so beautiful. Jack has been 4 times this week and I have been 3 times, that is how much we like it.

These first few pictures are from Red Butte Gardens. Jack was talking to an employee of Red Butte the other day and was told that they planted 200,000 daffodils. They have multiple different types and they are everywhere. Covering hills, fields and the like.

The daffodils pictured below are actually miniature sized daffodils. They were beensy.


The next few pictures are from our walk the other day. Yeah for jogging strollers! We found ours on KSL and have been quite pleased with it thus far.

As you can tell, Esther loves it too.
On a completely different note, Esther had her two month appointment. Verdict is, she is tall and skinny. 10 lbs. 7 oz (which puts her in the 50th percentile) and 24 1/2 inches (which is the 96th percentile). No surprise there considering Jack is 6' 2" and weighs a whopping 145 lbs.

And last but definitely not least, this dear has been sleeping through the night! Oh, I love this girlie. I'm convinced that our next child is going to be a terror because Esther is such a saint.

Wow, the garden does look really pretty! I wish we lived to close to something like that. And your little girl is so adorable! I love her red hair and blue eyes!

I agree--red hair and blue eyes is the best look out there. I wish we lived closer so we could stroll through Red Butte too. Also, with regards to your last post, have you found out if Esther is right or left handed yet? It could dramatically impact her baseball (or softball I suppose) career.

Good thing you got in some walks before it decided to snow again. It's crazy how fast she is growing!
