White Easter

It seems as though we're not always guaranteed a white Christmas here in Colorado, but the odds are quite good that we'll get a white Easter - and we did. Either way, it was too cold to wear the cute Easter "outfits" we had planned or to do some of the outdoor activities we had planned. But you know us, we had fun anyway! =)

Noah (and us!!!!) hit the motherlode this year with all the goodies he got in all 3 of his Easter baskets. He kept calling the eggs "ball-balls" so you KNOW he loved those! =)

Looking at the goods before church!

Our little family - Easter Sunday!

Our little man in his back-up Easter outfit. ;)

Digging in after church.

Another reason our (outside) easter egg hunt was cancelled..... (ha ha!)

EGG-tastic Family Fun Day

We got in the Easter spirit a little early today and took Noah on his first Easter egg hunt! (or to be politically correct, "Spring sphere" hunt. Yeah... ridiculous....) Some good friends of ours invited us to go with them and be a part of a massive Easter egg hunt that Way-Fm was sponsoring up in Denver! Over 8,000 eggs were put out! It was crazy as a zoo, but fun!

After the big hunt, we picked up some lunch and all went on a picnic here since it was a gorgeous day out. And then we went and found a a place to feed the ducks. Noah's first time. He LOVED it and didn't (surprisingly) try to eat any of the bread!

Such a fabulous day with such wonderful friends!!

Even the weekend got off to a great start! We left Noah with Mimi and went on a date last night. Dinner, movie, shopping. We went and saw Soul Surfer. It was such a neat movie and it REALLY made us miss Hawaii. ;) Already planning our next trip!

Earlier in the week, Jen went to JBF in the Springs (totally missed the Douglas County one last month). Last year she came home with everything on her list plus a few extra things. This year, she came home with everything BUT what was on her list. Maybe the Fall sale will prove to be more productive.

Tomorrow will be a day of napping and our traditional Sunday with the family. With a weekend like this, who wants the regular week to come?

Noah-licious (Part Two)

So we've been a little absent in "blog land" these days - as you might have noticed. One could say we've kinda been in a little bit of a funk - a lot going on too. Crazy busy. Nothing worthy enough to post on our blog though. So instead, we'll post some pictures of Noah and all his cuteness over the past few months. =)

Silly Face. =) "Bucket head." Brought home a cow hat from Chick-Fil-A!Being a ham.... or a cow? Playing outside at Mimi's. Wishing he had a riding buddy for the other seat. ;) First Happy Meal! (a.k.a. "smile box") Bestest bubbles in the world! Loves bubbles!

Noah!!! =) His spikey do after his bath. New silly face. Walking downtown Colorado Springs with Aunt Becca and Daddy. His new favorite - Jamba Juice. =) No comment..... ;) Chillin' in his wagon during a nightly walk. He LOVES his wagon!

Side note: Some have asked if Noah's talking yet. Oh YES! He's a little chatterbox - he says lots of words. Some of them don't totally make sense to us yet, but some of those that do include: please, thank you, mama, dada, casey, dog, up, down, ball-ball, binky, mimi, becca, bye-bye, hi, juice, etc. We just love it. He's so precious and more of a joy than we ever thought possible! =)
