A Wild Thing in the Park

Here's a video of the wild thing we saw in the park this morning:

Spring 08 Happenings

Spring has pretty much sprung in Colorado. Lily is enjoying exploring outside.



Jack had a big project at school studying planets. On Friday he gave a presentation about Saturn's rings and we had a great time putting together the visual together.



Kate has been studying piano with our neighbor, Mrs. Flores. On Wednesday, she completed her first piano primer book. She's having a lot of fun and comes home to proudly practice new songs on her little electric keyboard.



John was in Scottsdale, AZ last weekend for an Aspen Financial Group getaway. He and Pat enjoyed golfing and swimming in the warm 90-degree weather. Julie has been doing lots of crafty stuff. (You can always take a peek at what she's making at http://PaperJewels.blogspot.com)

Scenes from the Weekend

Katelyn Featured in Art Show

Kate's landscape, with a bright sun, glimmering stream, flying bird and little tree caught the eye of her art teacher and was featured in the Pioneer Elementary art show! Kate made it with tissue paper and the textures make the scene come to life. We had fun visiting the show at the Parker Mainstreet Center then going out to dinner at the golf club and Katelyn, of course, was beaming with pride!

More Easter Fun

We had fun coloring eggs and making "bird nest" cookies for friends and neighbors over Easter weekend. We had snow, so EB hid our eggs inside again this year. Lily was so excited to wake up to goodies tucked into every corner. It sure was fun to hear her giggle. (We didn't get any pictures of that, but we did get video.)

Neighborhood Egg Hunt

We organized another fun egg hunt this year! The kids helped fill easter eggs and we had fun making paper plate bunnies and doing a spoon egg race. See more pictures here . . .

Fun in the Sun

It was snowing the day we left Colorado for sunny Mexico. What a great time for a spring break getaway! We enjoyed playing on the beach, swimming, fishing, and riding dune buggies up a dry (and in some places not so dry) creek bed to a hidden waterfall. Some of the days were a little cooler than we expected, but we had a great trip and John really enjoyed taking Jack and Kate on their first real deep sea fishing trip.
Nana and Pop (John and Barb Griffith) were along with us and it's always nice to combine a vacation with a family visit. Our friends and neighbors the Neers were also visiting nearby Cabo San Lucas and they joined us on the day of our waterfall expedition. See more photos of our trip here in our online photo album.
