"Wok Pox"

The weather has been so nice here FINALLY! and Malo's been....off work....for a couple weeks now. So we've been hiking everyday and exploring Spokane - and I'm finding it to be quite beautiful, actually. Nothing like Colorado and still can't quite compare, but its really nice. Anyway, Aspen is LOVING hiking. She says "walk, walk, walk" so she can be down walking. She just talks the whole time and is SO funny to be around. She stops to explore all the pine cones (and can now say pine cone so clearly even strangers can understand her) and tree branches and her absolute favorite are the rocks. I showed her how to put a rock in her pocket and she though that was the COOLEST thing! So she stuffed as many rocks in her little pockets as she could...and with each one said "wok pox" which I assume means, "rock in my pocket." So cute. She also says "wawa" EVERY time we get in view of the river. She is at such a fun age....asking questions...her favorite "what's this?" So fun. :) Here are all the rocks she put in her little pockets:

And then just a couple from our ventures:








And Mia is just as content as can be being carried around in the Jeep carrier by daddy. She just smiles and babbles and loves being outside. She is turning out to be a pretty serious little girl. She focuses on something and its hard to break her concentration. She is a complete sweetheart.



We went up to Malo's parents' house one day and helped them trim limbs off some of the trees. Aspen loved it and sawed down a branch all by herself and even carried it to the limb pile. Good job!



How are we so lucky?!?! The two best girls in the world. :)
