Bath Time

Brin climbing her Daddy after her bath.
She really does like getting water poured over her!

Brin absolutely LOVES bathtime. Every night she will ask for a bubble bath before bedtime. It's so cute the way she just says bubbles, bubbles, bubbles over and over as she runs upstairs. She will even get into the dresser and grab her pajamas. I'm so glad that she loves bathtime and water. It makes for a much easier bedtime routine! And this summer should be lots of fun with all of the water activities! Only one more week of work for Mommy and then she and Brin will be traveling fools. (OK, maybe not that much because I'm determined to get her potty trained before I return back to work in August!)

Hooray for outside play!

Doesn't she look thrilled to be locked in the swing?! Truth is, she thinks she doesn't need all of the restraints!
Brin playing on her new swing set.
A few weeks ago we got Brin her first swing set. I was so excited to find this great deal on c-list. Since the weather has been getting warmer (with the exception of this weekend:() Brin LOVES to play outside. The first thing she says when we get home from the babysitter's house is "outside, outside. Peese? "Please" She's too cute and really is quite the outdoors girl. Brin also has a sand and water table on the deck that she will literally spend hours playing with if I let her. Luckily she always wears her hat outside (I told her she can't play outside without it!). I'll post some pics of her sand and water table when I get a chance. She also loves smelling all of the flowers and helping us weed. She's quite the helper and such a good little girl. I can't believe how quickly she's growing up. After Mommy is finished with work next week the adventures in potty training will begin. Wish us luck and let us in on any secrets you have!

Nosker visit

A couple of weekends ago Grandma and Grandpa N. and Aunt Lois came for a visit. Since then, Brin's Daddy had the flu and Brin had a 12 hour stomach virus. That was quite the week. Thank goodness they came before we had 2/3 of our little family sick. Here are some pics from their visit.

The Nosker extended family.

It snowed the day before we went on our nature hike. Here we are borrowing our friend Kate's polar bear sled. Thanks Kate!

Easter fun!

Over Easter Brin got to participate in 2 egg hunts with her cousins. It was sure nice to see her cousin Jade! We hadn't seen her since Thanksgiving and we sure do miss her! Dying eggs was quite the adventure with multiple little ones all wanting to participate and splash around with the eggs. It was a fast and furious trip that left Mommy exhausted! The weather in UT was great, but we returned home to snow. (Sorry friends that we didn't get to see you...we ran around with family non-stop from the moment we flew in Friday night to Sunday afternoon!! WHEW!)

Brin checking to see if there's any candy hidden in her eggs.
