Spring is in the Air

 Making progress on the bars!

 He roller bladed so much, he had to take a break to fix himself a bowl of cereal!

 These little entrepreneurs made homemade lemon bars (with CL's expert assistance)  they made $17 each with tips!  Don't mind Joseph - he's just photobombing them!

 Jack & Joseph are thick as thieves these days.  Most of the time they get a long great....but there is the occasional door slam and stomp back home....

Easter Tea At Emma's

CL and Emma hosted the nicest tea party for these sweet little girls today.  They planted grass seed in fancy tea cups that we can water and nurture until it's in full bloom on Easter, they made edible birds nests and enjoyed a lovely high tea.  

 Joseph lost tooth #6 before bed tonight....he's looking good and ready to return to school tomorrow.

Butterfly Pavilion and Nature & Science Museum

We spent the rest of our Spring Break time visiting some of our favorite indoor places in all of Denver.  The Butterfly Pavilion and Nature & Science Museum never get old...

Spring Break 2019!

We rented a great house in Silverthorne from a St. Anne's family (another fun auction item!).  Thanks Grammie and Opa for picking up the tab so we could all crash together and enjoy some good mountain time!  Unfortunately, these cousins all ski at different resorts (and with different abilities).  But someday they'll all ski together!  Ian, Kim, Holden and Everett joined us for a night - but somehow I don't have any pictures of them!  Some highlights from the week are dying Keira and Holden's hair with a blue streak, skiing with the Crowley's, Joseph skiing 2 black diamond bump runs with an ice sculpture in his hand - WITHOUT breaking it!, swimming in the world's loudest and smallest indoor pool (and pretending it was fun!) and Casey taking the pool key home with her - causing Courtney to let Joseph break and enter into the facility so we could swim one last time (I have a 6 year old with crazy burglar skills!).

St. Patrick's Day

We aren't Irish, but who doesn't love to dress up and pretend?  

 We skipped the big downtown parade this year to attend the Old Town Arvada one instead.  What a pleasant experience!  We enjoyed all our favorite parts (bagpipers, Irish dancers, great people watching, friends, food & beer)! But we avoided parking and transportation struggles and huge annoying crowds!

 Casey and Rob had a fundraiser at Keira's school so both girls slept over - Natalie's 1st sleepover!  Check out the awesome matching PJ's Casey bought Keira and Lillian - Natalie would be jealous if she had any interest in taking off her favorite Elsa dress EVER.  At bed time, Natalie said she wanted to sleep on the floor with Lillian and Keira.  I talked to her about "what to do if you happen to wake up over night".  She said, "I'll wake up Lillian!", I said no Natalie, if it's dark out, roll over and go back to bed.  If it's light out you can come wake me, but please let Keira and Lillian sleep, ok?  She said "Ok Aunt Courtney!".  Then I said, ok, what are you going to do if you wake up?  And she smiled and said "Wake up Lillian!".  Oh jeez.....

But miraculously, she slept all night, let the girls rest peacefully and kept on sleeping even after they woke up (and played loudly in the loft right outside her door).  Natalie slept a record 12 hours straight!!!!

Fun Out of Uniform Day!

The kids got to dress up in the brightest colors they could find....they were even allowed to die there hair.  You should have seen the colorful display across the gymnasium today!
