Underwear and a Green dog--

Funny title I know but I thought I would quickly post that Y is now wearing underwear during the day and staying dry!  Yippie Skip!!  Wow--he was a piece of cake to potty train compared to his older bro. 

So on to the dog...W decided to instead write with chalk on the cement, it would be more fun to saw it, make chalk dust and rub it on Aspen.  He was really freaked out to see her green, and quite concerned when he noticed he couldn't just rub it off her.  All I heard from a screaming boy was "mommy come quick Aspen is green"  Huh?? (hope the green comes through, it faded by the time I got around to take a pic)

Twin Fun!!

My friend Sara Beth has the cutest twin boys, and I watched them the other day.  It was like having triplets because they are only a few weeks younger then Y.  Thank goodness I had W here to help me keep an eye on them. They have red hair similar to W.  As you can see W is fond of them. W and I also decided to start our garden that day.   Time has gotten away from us and it's a little late to be starting it from seeds so we'll see what happens.  To keep the 3 little ones busy I gave them the job to fill the containers with dirt. The twins thought  it was more fun to fill them with rocks(which was great-less messy).  W stayed focused and got all the seeds planted and watered.   Garden updates to come...

Great Gramps Birthday Party!!

Great Gramps loves Broncos, so all the great grandkids dressed in broncos T's.  My crazy cousins and aunt had a couple of wigs for gramps to try on ....I was dying!!

Easter 09!!

We never spend Easter with family. So what a blessing to have family in town for Easter this year. Since everyone was out for my dad's 70th bday, we went to Loveland CO for Easter weekend and celebrated great gramps 90th bday. My mom's whole family joined us. So W&Y had tons of fun with their cousins and second cousins. On Easter morning grammy, being the grammy she is, with her sister made sure all the kids had Easter baskets waiting for them at their hotel doors. We all went to my grandparents church. It was a cold and dreary day, but still an Easter to remember.

TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN!!

My dad, brother and I got to spend some time skiing together. It was one of the things my dad wanted for his bday. What a great time. I had not been skiing for a few years, so I was a little anxious to get out there especially with them. So before I met up with them I went and rented a helmet. Don't laugh.....all the cool kids are doing it:) I look like a dork, but I felt secure especially when we ended on top of the mountain!!(then I looked down). As you can see, it was a perfect beautiful day and I even made it down alive.

Skiing with Family

My dad turned 70 this year, so we celebrated by meeting up with my family in Breckenridge CO, for a ski vacation.  My dad loves to ski so seeing all his grandkids on skis put a twinkle in his eye.   I wasn't planning on Y joining in at first but he wouldn't have it any other way.  He just got so excited when we went to the rental shop to rent equipment.  Of course he  wanted his own stuff and kept saying "mom me ski too".  So we couldn't resist.  There was the perfect hill to teach them, with a moving carpet, that they just loved.   The snow was perfect and so was the weather.  Such a great time--the trip was perfect.  

From no Snow to BIG SNOW!!

We don't get much snow all winter then spring hits and we get over 12".....
