WHEW!!

What a Saturday!  We were busy...even along the day, my friend Michele checked my forehead to see if I was running a fever, we planned so much stuff.  The day was perfect, but this mama was tired!!

10:30 - 12:30  We had pictures taken by our neighbor, Sharon.  This is one of eight that we have got to peek at!  Clara did really good, Nora and Lila took turns being little stinkers, but  you would not know by this picture!  She did a great job!  She was so patient with the three girls! 

1:00 - 2:00 Earlier in the morning, I was on craigslist. We have been wanting a little pop-up for about a year now. I finally e-mailed on a couple. One was showing on Saturday and was in Highlands Ranch. We decided to just go look. This is our new 10 foot pop up camper! 

Really should be no surprise that we bought it... if you know us, we very rarely just go look. We also went to "just look" at our first condo, Brian's 4-runner, a dog (a.k.a. Lucy), our house...see what I mean! 

2:30 - 4:30 -Off to Mackenzie's birthday party! We have know Mackenzie since she was born and her and Clara have been friends ever since!  We had fun bouncing at her party! 

4:30 - 7:30 - A quick change of clothes (again) and off to the Rockies game.  We go to opening day every year, but this year the tickets were so pricy and Brian had a bid, so we decided "Opening Weekend" was good enough!  The game was fun...we stayed for about three innings...enough time for the playground, chips and cheese and dipin' dots.  Brian and I had to stop and get dinner on the way home. Not enough hands to hold anything extra, not even a hot dog!  We got one picture...just too hectic to pull out the camera!  Good thing it was a good one!!  Go Rockies!

                                           

Rainbows of Fun!

I love spring!  New rainbow dresses, a new walking baby and trips to get ice cream!  Lila has really been working on her walking!  She is so proud of herself and so motivated!  I have a feeling she will be running to keep up with the girls in no time!  Last Friday, we had our first ice cream trip in a while!  Guess who loved it...all three!! 

Joe

Joe came to town and we got to spend some time with him in Watkins.  Here we are with Tracy, Beau, Joe and Uncle Ken! 

Happy Easter!

The night before Easter, we set the girls baskets out in hopes the Easter bunny would fill them up!  He did and then he hid them around the house!  No egg hiding, as Lucy and Linus would have had them all found before the girls with their hungry little noses!  Clara was up several times in the night, so excited about the bunny!  After sorting through all the goods, we got ready for church.  Good service, so I hear.  I got to hear about half the sermon as Lila really need a nap.  Back home after church to whip up some deviled eggs for dinner at Grandma Vera and Grandpa Charlies!  More Easter baskets for this bunch!  Lunch was so good.  After we ate, the kids got to find some more eggs.  This was one fun and busy Easter! 

Easter Eve

The day before Easter was a busy one!  We started the day with a trip the the Wildlife Experience for their Srping Eggstravaganza.  Fun!  The girls did a few crafts, games and played in the butterfly exhibit.  Nora was still a bit leary of the inflatable bunny!  Then, in the afternoon, we participated in the annual Riverbrook Egg Hunt.  So much fun!!  The number of kids of crazy and now that many are old enough to really get it, it was fun.  The wind was crazy, but it did not stop anyone!  That evening, we dyed our eggs.  The girls really loved making one for everyone in the family! 

At the Wildlife Experience wtih Daddy!

Clara is on the hunt...

Nora found some eggs!

So sweet....Clara made sure Nora had eggs.  She would put one in her basket and then pick one up and say, "Nora, here is one for you!"  Such a great big sister!!

Lila had fun playing with the eggs!

The babes!

The gang! I don't even see Clara, I think she was sitting down in the crowd!

Lyndi and I made the shirts...little Easter eggs! 

Hello, Easter Bunny!

The Thursday before Easter, in keeping with tradition, we visited the Easter Bunny with Mackenzie and Jake.  This year inlcuded Presley as well!  As you can see, Nora is still not a big fan of the "going to the mall and sitting on some strangers lap" tradition.  After the bunny, we tossed some coins in the fountain, had lunch and then visited the American Girl Store.  The girls were a bit overwhelmed as it was super crowded and had so much to see! 

I Gotta A Feeling!

Last weekend, we got a much needed fun night out with our friends to the Black Eyed Peas concert!  Kevin, Lyndi, John, Leslie, Debbie, Scott, Brian and I  headed down in the "Lynch Limo" since it seats eight for dinner at Tamayo.  The girls then took one of those bicycle taxis to the Pepsi Center.  Good thing it was all down hill!  The concert was so much fun!!  We headed back to the Larimer square area, in another bike taxik, only it was uphill this time.  Poor guy, we thought he may just pass out!  It really was a good, good night!!
