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.

Kate's New Haircut

On Saturday, Kate decided she wanted to get her haircut. We looked at the haircut books and this is what she came up with. Isn't it cute? And easy to brush! Yay! Daddy still likes it long, but it sure is nice to see more of Katelyn's beautiful face!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had a fun family Valentine's Day dinner with homemade cards, pasta putanesca and for dessert: chocolate fondue! What fun! We dipped strawberries, bananas, marshmallows and dried apricots. Yum! It was fun to see the kids just sit right on top of the table to get into the best dipping position. Another fun sight: seeing nudist Liliana sneak into the chocolate the next morning before Julie had a chance to clean up the kitchen. (Being sans pants is really helping Lily's potty training efforts. We're almost there!)
We hope you had a very happy Valentine's day and if you'd like to see more fun February photos. go here.
