Meeting the Easter Bunny!

Our local rec center held their annual Easter Egg hunt today.  One gentleman said it the day for 2000 eggs to disapear in 5 minutes!  Mauren loved picking up the eggs and shaking them trying to figure out what was in each one.

 

 

 

Shortly after this photo, we were approached by a photographer.  We'll look in the weekly

paper for her photo!

 

Shortly after these pictures were taken, Mauren was interviewed and photographed by another local newspaper!  She was asked what her favorite part of the day was and what the Easter Bunny would say if he could talk!?!

She was a popular girl today!

 

 

We headed home to find out what goodies were in each egg!  Mauren's favorites were the rings and tops.

Yaya & Papa even got to try on the rings!

Farm & Ranch Day

We spent the afternoon visiting the local co-op for their annual farm & ranch day! Mauren loved petting all the animals and we all got a free lunch!

Swimming lessons

Mauren's been taking swimming lessons for the past eight Saturday mornings. This was her first class without us in the water with her! She's become a little fish! She did great and learned lots! Here's some pictures of her lessons.

On the last day of lessons she got to 'jump' off the diving board!  It didn't bother her a bit!

Mom on the other hand.....

Playing catch up!

It's been far too long since I updated this blog so I thought it was time to get caught up!

Christmas with Grama & Grampa ~ 2012

Off to the North Pole on the Polar Express

Everyone had a blast ~ not just Mauren!

We safely returned from the North Pole and celebrated Christmas on Sunday afternoon

Santa 2012

Mauren sat of Santa's knee and told him she wants Play-Doh in her stocking this year!

Santa reminded Mauren to set out cookies for him and some carrots,

celery & oatmeal cookies for his reindeer! 

We had a fantastic early Christmas with Grama & Grampa.  Especially our short trip to Durango to ride the Polar Express train to the North Pole. 

Check back soon...more pictures to come!

If it's not one kid it's the other!

Jasper is turning 10 this weekend but still behaves like a naughty two year old! 

Wait! Don't we already have an unpredictable two year old in the house?

We think Jasper jumped off the kitchen counter and broke one of his toenails.

What a bloody mess!  He was a wimp but eventually turned out fine.

Not surprisingly we've caught him getting up on the counters already.

 

  

 

We had a quiet Thanksgiving and started the day with the Parade. 

Mauren's favorite was Sesame Street!

 

We had a very yummy dinner at friends house

 

 

 Mauren was very busy while we put up the Christmas tree!

She loves to do baby's hair. 

Colby adding the finishing touches to the tree!

Mauren admiring all the pretty ornaments!

This year Colby finally got to go on the roof with Erick to put up lights.
I, of course, was super nervous he was up there!
Colby loved it. 
He brought his water bottle and just hung out watching the world go by.
