nice boots
Love so many things in this photo...the smile, blue eyes, OUT.OF.CONTROL hair, boots up to the thigh. What a cute age. Hard to believe his foot might actually be this big someday!

Easter. kind of
I struggled with Easter a little this year. As much as I love my kids, I just don't have very successful shopping trips with them. And it seems like AGES since I've had any kid-free shopping. So, the kids knew about pretty much everything they got and I'm still working on getting Easter outfits put together.(Side note - not the year to pick yellow/navy for the family easter colors.)
It wasn't a total diaster though. We had a fun easter basket scavenger hunt, dyed eggs, went to the VERY windy community egg hunt, and had a yummy easter dinner.
This was the scavenger hunt. Just a bunch of picture clues inside eggs that ended with the baskets in the playhouse outside, but Mclayne and Cole loved it. Layne kept asking if we had to wait all the way until next easter to have another scavenger hunt. The answer is yes.
The microphone in mclayne's basket is awesome. It's a disney karaoke microphone that you plug into the tv. Since mclayne is a little young for the karaoke feature, we just talk/sing into it and use the button that changes your voice...mouse, dragon, bird, etc. If you don't have one I highly recommend it!

Beating the Snow
While Denver was being blasted with snow and loosing power, we were in St. George last week. It was the best...I can't wait for another trip down there this fall. We hit up our usual spots -
Capriotti's
Casablanca Buffet
The Golden Goat
The Pizza Factory
Snow Canyon
The rest of the time we swam in the hot tub, played at the park, and let Ryan and Steve ride the bikes.
There was no one around to take a shot of everyone, but thanks to photoshop magic we now have a picture of the whole group...tada
We also snapped a family picture in the backyard, since we've never had a family picture taken. I'm still going to get a professional one taken, but now I'll have this one in the meantime.
I think these two pictures capture exactly who the kids are right now...
the once mellow, now wild man cole. he has recently come down with a slight case of "the retarted." it's very entertaining, but I hope he outgrows it soon!
