Easter

GORGEOUS day.... We ate our Easter dinner on the deck.....
This picture reminds me of when Mary tried to eat a mango....
Anis LOVES shoes....
The Easter Bunny is GREAT!
This is what you do, Ania.....

Visit to Breck

Ania doesn't realize that she's too small for the tricycle

Pfun slide
NO sense of self-preservation....
Uncle Josh came up and joined in the pfun.

Easter Egg Hunt in Broomfield

We went to an Easter egg hunt at one of the parks in Broomfield.

It was cold and windy, but at least there were about a million people there.... We decided that it would be more pfun to have a bag of candy in the back yard.

Not very interested in "looking" for the eggs
Perhaps worth the effort.
These are the Easter Eggs for the 0-2 year olds.....

Going for a ride in the "grocery cart"

Pictures

Here are some more of the pictures we had taken a few weeks ago...

Skunk Cabbage

I ran a 1/2 marathon today. (Their Web site is lame, but I thought I'd include it anyway.) Check out my awesome form! Thanks to Karla for the awesome pics and coming to cheer me on.

2 hr 8 min. I was happy. High goal was 2 hours. Medium was 2 hr 10 min. So that's fine.

But my friend Cathy came from Mich for the run. Where was she? The race was ending.

SURPRISE!!

She was at the hockatoo!

Dehydrated at mile 11! So close! Potassium something something. I told her she should make this her new Facebook profile picture. I think that would be awesome.


She was discharged a pfew hours later and is now sleeping.

This is not good

Spring Break

Here are a few still photos from Mary's recital. I tried to get the ones that show Nina's moves the best.

Katie got to go up on stage at the end and dance.

The weather is warming up a bit, so we played on the tire swing.



And gardened.


Mary, V and I went to the petting zoo. Mary was not so keen on it. It smelled and was cold. She was ready to go after about 30 min. She was super excited to have lunch in the car, though. A little car picnic. So we did. At 10:45. :)


The woman who took this failed miserably and I was too embarrassed to ask someone else to redo it right in front of her as we were on the hayride.

Vittoria's 2nd Birthday

She has a better smile than this. Really.

Mary's Dance Recital

The video conditions were challenging, but I think Katie did a fine job. Plus, even Mary's parents will have to admit that she is not the most entertaining thing about this video.
