Spring has Sprung in Colorado!

The weather has been great since the middle of March so we've spent a bunch of time outside!  Here's some pics of Mauren having fun and as she says it, "pay outside!!" 

Mauren trying on her new bike helmet...but will she go outside and ride her trike???

Her helmet & trike are outside but will she ride???

Daddy putting on her helmet!



Getting closer...she's on her trike!





And she did it!  With a lot of help from Daddy! 



That was so much fun she had to come in for a snack and lounge a little!



Some miscellaneous photos of having fun in the sun

the past few weeks .... 

Any ol' day with Mauren

Not much happening in the Field household so I've added some pictures of

Mauren being a sweet (and sometimes ornery) almost 2 year old!

Helping set the table for dinner

Chowing down on her favorite snack...crackers!!

 



Checking out the neighborhood with Jasper



...just needed to make sure Mauren's Easter dress fit...

I was very excited when I downloaded these pics ;) 

Didn't realize they were that good of our little poser!

Mauren loves choo choo trains!

Chugga Chugga Whoo Whoo!

Mauren is obsessed with trains!  We can hear them going through town from our house and Mauren has a few books with trains in them.

Mauren knows "NO!"

Mauren and Daddy usally have a 'yes vs. no' discussion every night at dinner time....

February 2012 is almost over....

Once again time is flying by and February is almost over. 

Papa & Yaya have come & gone and come & gone. 

We celebrated Valentines Day and Mauren's 1 1/2 year birthday!



Photo from Papa & Yaya's first visit



Happy 18 month birthday, Mauren!

 

Happy Valentine's Day!



Mauren is now rockin' with Let's Rock Elmo!



Mauren finally gets to eat her Valentine treat that
Grama & Grandpa Anderson sent!

Mauren is a big helper
letting Jasper in and out

Colby stayed late with us and got to read bedtime
books to Mauren



Papa & Yaya's second visit brought a pamper day for Mauren.  She got her hair and nails done!



Mauren reading night-night books with Daddy

Wow!  What a great 2012 so far!  Can't wait to see what else it will bring!

Sledding!

We still haven't seen snow so we drove to the Grand Mesa to play in the snow and go sledding with BFF Ady and her daddy, CJ.  The girls had lots of fun. 

Mauren's first snow angel!  She wasn't really impressed with the snow. 

She didn't move a muscle ~ even when Ady accidentally bumped her and she went face first in the snow!  

The best part of sledding was snack time! 



 Ady and CJ

Can you say weeeeeeee!





Friends & Fun

Our great friends, Katrina and Mark, came to visit! 

Mauren got to meet them for the first time.

We had a lot of laughs, caught up and had great margaritas!

Mauren recieved a great toy from aunt Kristi, Uncle Darren & Nadia for Christmas.

She's just a little scared to try it out.

Puppy had to go for a few rides before Mauren was going to give it a try!

She's making progress!  At least she's sitting on her four-wheeler.....

....but will she push the button to make it go?!?

I've been thinking about all the things I can do with Mauren's hair since it's getting soooooo long!  So, we've attempted it a few times; some braids or twists.  I very much need some practice, the right products, advise and mostly sit-still time!  The high chair seems to keep Mauren somewhat in one spot. 

Look at that CRAZY hair!  Mauren just got her braids out!
