Spring has sprung!

Easter fun! 

 The annual Arvada Kite Festival was a few weeks ago.  The kids went to a kite making class prior to the festivities and made awesome kites that actually fly!

One very sunny day in March meant...time to get out the pool!

 

As usual here is one big post full of our goings-on over the past couple of months...

We prepped for Christmas by making Christmas cookies and frosting them with several different colors.

On Christmas Eve, we celebrated with Eli and Nathan.

 

Christmas morning was chaos!!

 

Then we headed north to Montana where it was COLD but we still got outside.

Back to Colorado for our first ski trip of the season!

 

And last weekend was the Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.  Both boys had cars to race!

 

The Day After Thanksgiving

It's a great day to stay in and do things that have been neglected...like pictures on the blog!

Halloween came and went...we had lots of visitors that weekend including my parents and Aunt Jeanene!

We took a little vacation to Glendwood Springs with Cory, Jamie, and Kaylynn.  The hot springs were loved by all of us!

 

Soccer

Charlie is playing soccer this fall...and LOVES it!

Lydia's Birthday

For Lydia's birthday, we went to Build-A-Bear with her cousins.

We love having a 3-year-old!

Bethany's Wedding

In September, we went to South Dakota for our niece, Bethany's wedding.  It was gorgeous!

These 5 are pure trouble...oh and James broke his thumb the week before the wedding, hence the cast.

The venue - it was really cool.

Above, Doug's family.  Below, the bride and her dad.

First Days of School

Picking up right where we left off...

And just like that, it's the first day of school again!
