I have badly needed to do some updating on this blog. We went to Moab back in April with some friends. We were able to go without the kids!! We had such a good time and the weather was probably just right.

Here are some pictures from Easter. Kyla received a palm at church and didn’t want to let it go. I made her dress last year when she was the flower girl in our friend’s wedding, and my mom added some silk embroidery to it (flowers on the collar and butterfly’s on the bottom). I took a close up picture of one of the butterfly’s. I still need to try to take a more formal picture, but I have been waiting for Barrett’s face to clear up a bit more (which it has, so maybe I will get to it this week).

We went to my parents house for dinner and also decorated cookies! Kyla learned the story of Jesus’s Resurrection at church and was so excited to share it with her visual aids.

The Easter Bunny even came to our house to deliver the kids baskets!!

My mom and I went to Garden of the Gods back in the beginning of April. It was a beautiful day, but I left my camera at home because my battery was dead and I was having a hard time finding the charger. So, I took these pictures with my dad’s camera!

We didn’t have time to hike around, so we ended up driving around and had a picnic at one of the stops! We will need to go back to do more hiking.

Kyla and her rocks that Grandma got her!

Kyla took this picture of Me!

Here is a shot of Pikes Peak from the visitor’s center.

Still catching up!! Back in March my sweet mom came and watched the kids so I could go snowshoeing with several ladies in my ward! We didn’t really know how great the snow would be and how far we were going to have to drive to get to good snow. But it had snowed the night before and snowed all day while we were out. We went up US-40 to Jones Pass. On our way home we decided to stop in Idaho Springs and enjoy Beaujo’s, which is the best Beaujo’s in CO!!

Here are a few pictures of our outing. The spots on the picture of us looking down at the camera are snowflakes.

We met up with friends at the Children’s Museum in March. I didn’t take many pictures, but got a few of Barrett and one of Kyla!

Sara, Max, and Miles came to visit us for a few days back in March! It was so nice outside that we had lunch at the park. Barrett was really interested in the Squirrels and kept trying to chase them. Max and Kyla are 6 months apart and are great friends. As we were walking back to the vehicle they were holding hands and I thought it was too cute!

This is Miles

This is Max

We were waiting for Zane to finish with one of his meetings after church. We were hanging out in the LandCruiser and I had my camera! It’s kind of nice, because Kyla isn’t able to run from me! HaHa

I have some major catching up to do on our blog! Here is a picture of Zane and Barrett walking. This picture was taken back in February’s nice weather before the snow storms came!

Today a friend and I went to Texas Roadhouse for Free Lunch. Zane called me after he heard about it on the radio to let me know. They are raising money for The Children’s Hospital. Lunch is from 10:30am – 1:30 pm and the Menu is; Pulled Pork Sandwich, french fries, applesauce, and of course their yummy rolls! Don’t expect to see a bill, however, an envelope will be on the table so you can donate money to the Children’s Hospital. Tomorrow is the last day they are doing it and it is the Texas Roadhouse in Littleton.

It seems as though the month of March isn’t complete without a good snow storm. This winter has been fairly mild. On Thursday morning it started snowing and it was also very windy. I didn’t really think it was that bad (seeing how I wasn’t out on the roads) and then I opened up the garage for Brian and Amber and realized there was more snow than I thought. I got the shovel out and started to work on the driveway. I shoveled about a quarter of the driveway and called it quits. Lucky me, when Brian & Amber arrived, Brian finished the rest! Zane was called out for snow removal to the airport, he got there at 2 am on Thursday and came home on Friday at 2pm!

I thought the snow looked cool on our bedroom window!
